[cups.general] RICOH Aficio 2232C - printing color

[Jason Thomas]

Hi, I've managed to get this printer printing black and white perfectly
by using the manufactures PPD file and tweaking it.

The printer is able to support postscript with an optional module, that
we don't have. So I've opted for PCL.

The printer supports the following:
 	Automatic Language Switching  Switching:  Switching5.00
	Customized PJL PJL: PJL5.00
	RPCS RPCS: RPCS2c.9.5d
	PCL 5c Emulation Emulation: Emulation1.01

So now I want to try and print color but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions. I can send the full PPD to anyone that wants it!

So I downloaded the manufactures PPD file and made the following
changes:

I had to change the ImageableArea so that it would fit on the page. No
idea why!

Thanks
