Hmm, a bad problem.

This is a Windows only (GDI) printer. Which means it does not support
Postscript, nor does it support PCL(PCL-XL)

I know you probably are furious, but this is done to save cost, (For
every printer that supports Postscript, Ricoh needs to pay Adobe a quite
expensive loyalty fee)

One alternative is to connect the printer to Windows box, and use Windows 
machine as a printer server. Windows can share it out, and on Linux box use 
samba share to access the printer.
Do a google search on "samba printer share", it would give you detailed 
instructions.

Google search also found that another user has created a Linux GDI driver for 
the printer.

I have no idea whether that works. Try with your own risk.
