    Good luck, I think you need Postscript and need to know what you are doing to load driver/PPD.

                You would setup scan to folder, or scan to email.
                Scan to folder is the same as a windows setup. Linux uses samba, you may have to install it.

                    A little late to the party here, but go to openprinting.org and get the pxlcolor-ricoh driver. This should do the trick for you.

                      Eso fue un poco grosero.

                          Just fyi, I installed Linux Mint on my laptop years ago, and it automatically recognized the Ricoh on the network and prompted a download of the driver PPD files. Worked great. What happens when you try to manually "add printer" in Ubuntu?
                          Whoops, thread from April. I'm sure he has figured it out by now. I might add that I just converted one of my home pc's from win 7 to Mint, and I am quite pleased with the results. Linux distros work great with old computers and printers.
