Ricoh IPSiO NX730N won't work on Ubuntu 8.10

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

I couldn't identify the package that causes the bug.

My printer (Ricoh IPSiO NX730N) won't print documents after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10.
I usually use Ricoh ps driver Ver.3.0.1 (265 KB) on Ubuntu 8.04 which can be downloaded
from the following website.
http://support.ricoh.com/bbv2/html/dr_ut_d/ipsio/model/nx630/winxp/winxp.htm
http://support.ricoh.com/w/bb/pub_j/dr_ut_d/4100001/4100001007/V301/5121932/121932.exe

Actually the file (121932.exe) is a executable one for windows.
I extract .PPD from this file with using wine.
$ wine 121932.exe

And I can obtain the printer driver for NX730N, which is
121932/XP_VISTA/DISK1/RINX73N3.PPD .

By going to "System -> System management -> Printing,"
I apply this RINX73N3.PPD for Ricoh IPSiO NX730N printer.

In the above procedures, the printer surely worked on 8.04,
but it wouldn't after upgrading to 8.10.

Currently, there is no error log in /var/log/cups/error_log.

I also have Ricoh IPSiO Color 8100 printer and this one also won't work after upgrading to 8.10.

Recently, Jaunty beta has been released. So, I decided to upgrade from Intrepid to check
whether the printer worked in Jaunty. Fortunately, it does works in Jaunty beta as well as
it did in Hardy.

Even though the cause of the bug is not found, this problem is solved with upgrading to Jaunty...
