macOS to Ricoh Aficio 5002 MP Printer - Print Data Error

Hello all,

I searched around but answers I could find were either relevant to much older versions of macOS or seemingly irrelevant to this specific issue.

In my office we have a Ricoh Aficio 5002 MP printer that seems to work perfectly with both Windows (10, 7), Linux (Ubuntu 19.10, Deepin 15.11), and even Android, yet doesn't work at all with Mac (or iOS) devices. At first I thought it could be that the printer doesn't support postscript but as far as I'm aware Linux uses postscript by default and it has had literally no problem. I checked the printer configuration and, at least on the UI side, they are written the same so I have no idea where the problem is coming from. The /etc/cups/printers.conf between my Deepin Linux and Mac computers also looks the same.

I've tried pretty much all configurations the printer tool will allow including using Ricoh's official drivers (2.0 and 3.0) to no avail, so I'm wondering if there's anything deeper in the macOS system that would make it work?

If it would help, is there any common configuration files between CUPS on Linux and Mac that I should check out? Any help is appreciated, because until I get my Macbook working with this printer I'm stuck using a PC for work! :(
