CUPS: foomatic-rip file missing

Hi CMH,
Thanks for responding
(BTW my first name is Keith, my last name is Fishwick ... but not that important)
The printer has worked fine on SERVERA for years ! Using an HP jet direct driver. And it still works on this Solaris 10 server.
But SERVERA is being replaced soon with SERVERB (Solaris 10 branded zone), and SERVERB will only accept printers set up via CUPS (hence the pressing need to get CUPS working on SERVERB)
The proper PPD file is called Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C4000-pxlcolor-Ricoh.ppd
And yes it is in place on SERVERB.
However, all I've done with it is place it in directory /opt/csw/share/cups/model
I've not done anything at all with the PPD file other than place it in this directory.
I have set my printer up using the GUI tool connecting to port 631, not using the CUPS lpadmin command you seem to have used.
The only output I seem to be able to get from this CUPS printer at the moment is a test print issued from the GUI (port 631)
And even so, all the output seems to say is I am using the wrong driver.
So I guess the actual issue is driver-related.
Any further help anyone can provide would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
PS
One important thing to bear in mind with my printer is :-
This Ricoh printer has no postscript capability, so I MUST use a non-PS driver for it.

Fishwick;
This printer has worked and stopped or it never printed?
Having set up and had printers fail on systems time and time again first see if you can confirm that the printer is working.
I have a server with -gt 50 printers configured in it.
When I am told an application fails to print. I have a short look around and then ask out printer admin to confirm the printer prints!
Often the printer is at fault not the config.
Do you have the proper PPD in place for the printer?
OR ...
Did you check the /etc/host file ... it looks like
127.0.0.1 localhost
123.456.789.99 hostname.domainname.ext hostname loghost
123.456.789.101 PRINTERNAME
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v lpd://<printer IP< -P /etc/cups/ppd/ps-ppd-file -L "NA" -D "NA" -E
And put that output into a ppd file with the printer name in /etc/cups/ppd
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v lpd://<printer IP< -P /etc/cups/ppd/ps-ppd-file -L "NA" -D "NA" -E > /etc/cups/ppd/<printer name>.ppd
...AT LEAST that is how I have set them up.
This is the ps-ppd-file I use:
