I'm struggling to get anything printed properly - is there a proper driver for 
this printer in CUPS.  The driver I've chosen seems to distort everything 
(like a page of A4 text comes out as a black spot 3px  high and 2 wide! )

I've selected AppSocket/HP JetDirect and then since no Ricoh driver showed up 
I selected Make:Generic and Driver:Generic PCL Laser Printer (en).

The reason I've chosen AppSocket/HP JetDirect is because nmap returned this 
protocol when I scanned the printer.  Choosing ipp, or http, lpd was not 
successful either.

However, this AppSocket/HP JetDirect protocol with the Generic driver gives 
the broken printing I've described above.  Selecting the Generic PostScript 
Printer (en) it prints pages and pages with ascii or screwed up characters 
when I try a test page.

Any suggestions?
