I am trying to print to a variety of Ricoh printers. A 1232C, 650 and a 220. The 650 has a postscript card the 1232C does not. After several unsuccessful attempts to compile ghostscript on the mac I tried printing to both printers. For the 650 I have tried appletalk and through the windows printing option built in to the Mac 10.3.8. With the 1232 through Samba and through windows printing. The only information I can get out of either printer is %!PS-Adobe-3.0%APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8 and it prints tons of blank pages. What do I have to do to get this working. I can't even print to the postscript printer let alon to get some time of filter working. I have searched the web and newsgroups extensively to no avail.

We had this problem with one of our networked Ricoh printers (1018D) at work. It was resolved after the Ricoh engineer upgraded the printer's firmware. Another Ricoh (identical model) was not upgraded and therefore is unable to print postscript jobs sent from any Mac.
BTW I have never managed to connect to the Ricohs via AppleTalk despite this being enabled on the printer. IP printing works OK.
