Hi,


The driver came from http://www.openprinting.org/
They claim this printer works 100% and only LO has 
this problem. All the other apps I have get it right and 
show all the trays and paper options.

I had a look at turboprint and they don't seem to support
Ricoh printers. 


:-(

Hallo,
  
  I didnt follow the thread up to now.
  Do you use GNULinux CUPS?
  
  no: drop the rest
  yes: In that case its probably a problem of the .ppd and could  be solved by 
  modifying this filet or getting a better one from turboprint.com or a 
  gutenprint driver will do it. Have you switched off CUPS?
  in my case I could (troubles with a Brother) I could solve the probelm 
  perfectly.
