Printer Ricoh SP 213w in ubuntu

Question

Does anyone has a hint how to install new Ricoh SP 213w printer? Im not able to find a ppd file but I got a .plc file from Ricoh containing some information about the machine. Is there a possibiliy to make a use of it?

Thanks in advance

Update:

Printers -> Add -> Select the printer from the network -> select "Generic" -> "PCL 5e"

makes the printer print something reasonable, though the margins dont seem right.

Solution:

selecting "Generic" -> "PCL 6/PCL XL" seems to work better.

Solution 1

The only one actually working for me is the Generic PCL Laser Printer (grayscale), the other ones (Pcl5/6) used to work not any more.

Solution 2

I added the printer via its IP Address and chose the Generic" -> "PCL 6/PCL XL LF CUPS+Gutenberg Driver.(a slight change to the above driver) The Testpage describes the fitting PPD as STP01497.PPD Hope that helps.

@Seth It's an answer in form of a comment. What is it you don't understand and what is that 'requires clarification'? Now I am the one who 'requires clarification'.
