I'm struggling to get anything printed properly - is there a proper driver =
for=20
this printer in CUPS.  The driver I've chosen seems to distort everything=20
(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=20
I selected Make:Generic and Driver:Generic PCL Laser Printer (en).

The reason I've chosen AppSocket/HP JetDirect is because nmap returned this=
=20
protocol when I scanned the printer.  Choosing ipp, or http, lpd was not=20
successful either.

However, this AppSocket/HP JetDirect protocol with the Generic driver gives=
=20
the broken printing I've described above.  Selecting the Generic PostScript=
=20
Printer (en) it prints pages and pages with ascii or screwed up characters=
=20
when I try a test page.

Any suggestions?
=2D-=20
Regards,
Mick
