Hi,
I am using a new macbook pro (10.7.3) at work and we use the ricoh mp c5000 at work. I have tried so many different drivers but nothing seems to work. When I try to print one page, about 20 get printed with all of this garbled text,=.
If someone could please walk me through what I need to do here, I would really appreciate it! So frustrating not being able to print at work!

You'll need to ask your IT department to procure a Postscript module for the printer. By default these printers only support PCL printing (which is what the Windows drivers use), and not Postscript (which is what the Mac driver supports). The module costs between $600-700, so if they aren't interested in getting that for you, you might want to look into installing pxlmono:

I didn't have a ton of luck getting that work consistently (some things printed strangely), but it might be better than not being able to print!
The above worked for me, thank you!
