Well, I said I was still tweaking things---
The RICOH printers do NOT handle IPDS data streams without a
translator box to turn IPDS into PCL.
I apologize for any confusion.
The non-ipds configuration works just fine.

>> Enter 9099 as the BASE PORT NUMBER
>>
>> The IP address of the printer should appear as the IP ADDRESS
>>
>> The box labeled ENABLE DHCP may be checked,

>>
>> Scroll down to the box under the phrase,

>>
>> Enter the password for this printer in the box
