also forgot to mention: if your ppd file is in the correct location, the SC5500 should show up as selectable in your printer system prefs (system prefs>print & fax).
Also, make sure all the equipment is turned on and connected, and in your networking prefs select your ethernet connection (which should show a connected status), keep everything default, go to the advanced menu and activate appletalk.
This should do it, though the caveats are that all your hardware is functioning correctly, and the SC5500 is compatible with your mac in the same way as the SC7500, which is the only RIP I'm familiar with....
