I suppose your printer is equipped with the PostScript option and you use 
the Ricoh supplied PPD.
As for stapling, it only specifies "/Staple 2" in the respective 
setpagedevice statements, that means, according to the PLRM, stapling at the 
end of the job regardles of the values vor copies and collate.

You could try to modify the PPD and replace 
/Staple 2
by 
/Staple 3
everywhere, and try again.
