[ubuntu-uk] Issue With 11.04 and Printing

Hi

I recently install from scratch 11.04 on my work machine. Previously I 
had 10.10 but I took the opportunity to reinstall when I upgraded. While 
on 10.10 I had a network printer defined to the Ricoh Aficio MP 4500 on 
the office LAN. After I upgraded to 11.04 I went to setup the printer 
and it was correctly identified and the driver installed. However 
whatever you try to print including the test page it results in the 
first page being printed with something like the following:-

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %% %% mark () () (201110181351) {setuserinfo} stopped 
cleartomark %%

it then proceeds to empty the paper tray by printing blank pages till it 
runs out of paper.

I have made multiple attempts to set this up and my 11.10 laptop has the 
same behaviour. Anyone know how to fix this? As I said it work perfectly 
in 10.10.

TIA

Regards

Jon
