Similar case here... we have an "outsourced" copy center that uses Ricoh
printers.  Their printers normally require an authorization code to
print anything.  The only way to print to it from the 3000 was to have
them disable the authorization check on the particular printer.  Once
that is done, it does accept a normal PCL-stream on tcp/9100 (with SNMP
disabled).

They (Ricoh) have drivers for windows, and there are unix "cups"
configurations for them including authorization codes.  But of course
there is no MPE variant, unless you can front-end one with some esoteric
"lpr" type options with one of the other network printing packages (espul?).
