We have a couple of Ricoh MP 4000s around here.
I set them up for IP_LPD rather than IP_RAWTCP
because the latter didn't work for me.  Where would
you do the "msh>" command?  (Perhaps that's only
available on the 6000's?)

For OP: I found that the MP 4000 printed PS just
fine from DCPS *once* we had the *optional*
Postscript module installed!  Perhaps the 6000
is similar?  Look under Device Info for Printer
Language and make sure Adobe Postscript is
present.
