You require some secret information.

The name of the print queue on the Ricoh is something like

RDP_123456

where the 123456 is the serial number of the printer.  I think
it may also be the last digits of the MAC address of the ethernet
interface.

So, set up a hosts entry for the copier
eg:

192.168.100.44  ricoh01 ricoh01.anywhere.com

and then configure a lpd printer as

RDP_123456@ricoh01

Good luck,

Mike
