Matthew,

The reason for the gui that is different from the local installation is
a missing registry value.
It's: "PrinterDriverData\DocUiHideFlags" REG_DWORD 000001

I didn't succeed in copying the settings via printui.dll, but I wrote a
little program to set the missing value. I think, this list cuts off the
attachments, so I put it inline. If you cannot compile it, I can send
you a binary as well.

I can't test, if the printer will work as expected, cause I have no
ricoh printer - but the GUI looks the same as the local installation.

Greets,
Martin
