An issue with Ricoh PS PPD files

Dear Ricoh support team,

Ricoh PPD files such as "Generic_PS_Printer.ppd" and "Ricoh-IM_C6010-Postscript-Ricoh.ppd" have the following description:

*FoomaticRIPTitleEntityMaxLength: 40

"FoomaticRIPTitleEntityMaxLength” is used to limit the length of "&title".
In these PS PPD files, "&title" appears 5 times.
1 time for the job/document title:

%%%%Title: (&title;)

And 1 time each in the definition of the 4 job types below:

  • Hold Print
  • Stored Print
  • Store and Print
  • Document Server

/JobID (&title;)\n&&

However, Ricoh devices do not accept a JobID which is more than 20 characters. When a print job contains a JobID of 21 or more characters, the job is cancelled by the printer.
Could you please modify the PS PPD files which have "*FoomaticRIPTitleEntityMaxLength: 40"?
Of course we can modify it manually, but we cannot ask our customers to do so every time they download the PPDs.

Best regards,
