driver. Do you use a cups server in your network?
I use the AppSocket / HP JetDirect connection type and write the printer URI (socket://192.168.1.80). Then I provide the ppd (Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C2500_PXL.ppd). It says that the printer was added succesfully and prompts the printer config options. I change what I need and it says that the printer has been set up succesfully. But again in the printer tab it complains about foomatic-rip filter missing.
The same applies when I use the other ppds.
So what can it be?
Thanks mase! You're doing a great job here!

What print server do you use? Windows or Linux cups?
If you are using cups, just let the server broadcast. To do this, edit
the publicity setting for the printer to use. I did so and I need no drivers
on the phone.

I'm not using any printer server. The printer at work is just in the network and has its own IP. So I'm connecting directly to it.

it doesnt make any difference which ppd I use, mase. i've tried the one you have kindly attached and it doesn't work either. I can only access the printer in raw mode, and then it only will print stuff about language level and bounding box.

did you open the ppd when adding the printer?
You can choose manufacturer and model, or use a custom ppd.
You have to use the ppd there.

When I add a printer I have the following stages:
1. Name and other stuff like location
2. Connection type, where I can choose AppSocket, http, ipp, lpd and scsi printer. I choose AppSocket.
3. Connection URI. I type socket://192.168.1.80
4. Manufacturer and model or ppd. In the manufacturer list I just have generic cups pdf printer and raw.
So I use the ppds.

Give http or ipp a try.
In model open the ppd for generic postscript.

Hey.
Think Your connection URl is missing the port.
Try
socket://192.68.1.80:9100
