Thank you very much for replying my message.
I have tried several drivers (including Ricoh and Gestetner ones for Aficio MP 2000) and attempted both ipp and lpd protocols.
Here I send my attempt from two drivers.
After adding a printer, i have requested a test page printed.

Printer accepts IPP and LPD:

Starting Nmap 6.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-11-22 13:49 EET
