RICOH SP201N drivers just hard to set up

Bad default address port detection RICOH SP201N drivers

The frustrating part is the port name and the address gets prefixed with http here. The driver is unable to make sense of the address so you have to manually strip off the http and the trailing slash down to the bare IP.

A simple thing to fix in the driver you would imagine, but this is what you get, and it does NOT work.

incorrect address 

You will however not be able to edit the port without unloading everything, so simply add a new port, correctly, then switch to the new port.

The number of times this has spoiled a otherwise perfectly good printer experience, grrrrr.
