I would probably give up on the printer specific driver, and at least check a
current "Universal Print" driver. Ricoh has fairly active support page, and
PCL6 and PS driver packages for Windows 10, 8.1, 7 both 64-bit and 32-bit.

Larger projects (e.g. for Autodesk, Adobe) have been able to get custom driver
work done, but I think LibreOffice is going to be left hanging. Of course, it
also depends on how old the printer in question is.

Possibly, but a lot of work and you still may end up with the same non-helpful
pointers into the Ricoh drivers DLL. Without symbols from Ricoh don't think
you'll get anything helpful. If you look at the URL linked in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=116679#c13">comment 13</a> any of
the reports there will have a breakpad delivered stack trace annotated from
LibreOffice and Microsoft debug symbols. The missing piece is the Ricoh code.</pre>
