Download the .exe file e.g. for Windows XP. Most probably it's a zip archive. Try (on Linux) unzip -v this .exe file If it works, you only need the .ppd file which is an ASCII file. Copy this to your cups directory probably /etc/cups/ppd IMPORTANT: send a complaint to Ricoh for not supporting Linux directly!

Thanks for the help, I downloaded the exe file, but it is not a zip archive, I can't uncompress it. I tried to execute it via wine, then it starts to uncompress itself, but I don't find any .ppd file in the directory where it uncompress itself. Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

A considerable number of windows format installers that aren't .zip archives are .cab instead. I looked at linuxprinting.org and saw '0/3 paperweight' for the FX-10 [1], didn't hold high hopes. Hopefully you have some luck with yours. Thomas Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Ricoh-Afico_FX10 pgpn7YSTjC6U6.pgp Description: PGP signature
