I can't locate your printer (DSM 718) here:

http://www.ricoh-support.com/enduser/gestetner/

Nor here:

http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Gestetner/

Is that the correct model number? :-?

Anyway, if the printer is PS based, you can choose a gerenic PS driver. 
Otherwise, choose "pxlmono-Gestetner" PPD file. 

Add the printer by using CUPS web interface wizard (http://localhost:631).
