Does the printer contain a Postscript modul? That is not a matter of 
course at Ricoh.

If yes then copy the PPD file to /usr/share/cups/model and restart CUPS.
Then setup the printer in a browser with http://localhost:631
Copy the new PPD in /etc/cups/ppd to your Windows computer and install
it with a Postscript driver.

If not then go to http://linuxprinting.org and download Foomatic. It 
contains a program that inquires the printer features and creates a
PPD file. The rest is the same as above.
