Re: User Permissions Problem between Mac & Ricoh Copier

One workaround for that is to download the Windows driver and copy the PPD from it. You would likely need to install it on a Windows PC to determine the correct one to use, as there will be multiple PPDs to choose from.

I've done this many times in the past to get drivers for Linux machines for specific models. You don't even need to install the driver on a Windows machine, just extract the exe file using a tool like 7-Zip. As plain text files, you can readily determine which PPD you need.

You can also try the openprinting website to download files for specific models: Printer List | OpenPrinting - The Linux Foundation

Agreed, but I have found that the PPDs in the Windows installer tend to be more likely to include all the features.

If the drivers in question are for a Fiery, (not the case here) there can be a boatload to choose from, considering the number of similar models supported by that model Fiery, then times two for the US/Metric paper sizes.
