You appear to have a browser problem rather than a printing problem. I believe the advice with Firefox is to move ~/.mozilla out of the way and restart it. Lynx would be good enough for what you want to do. Try that to access localhost:631. Alternatively, put your PPD in /usr/share/ppd/custom and use lpadmin -p ... -v usb://RICOH/... -E -m /usr/share/ppd/custom/<myppd> -- Brian.
