What about doing this a different way: Double click NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD,then double click on the server, highlight the printer you want (the Ricoh), right click it, then in the dialogue box, choose INSTALL; after doing that, go back to the PRINTERS folder, right click on that printer, choose properties, and verify the network print path?
Just throwing this out to see if that might resolve the issue...

Never ask two questions in a business letter.  The reply will discuss
the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
