The key to making it install was to install as a local printer, add the specific local IP address, then add the share name. Worked like a charm.

I am trying to install a Ricoh Aficio CL4000DN on a new installation of Windows 7. The printer is recognized by Windows 7, but then can't find the printer driver. When I download the current printer driver, and then point the install to the directory it was downloaded and unzipped to, windows 7 doesn't find the drivers. The printer is directly connected to a Windows 2003 LAN on a domain. It has it's own IP address.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
