Just try

http://www.ricoh-support.com/enduser/home/default.asp?langID=1
Select "multifunctional products"  and  Aficio FX16
This finally to a page where you can download the
'Printer & Scanner Drivers and Utility' for WINDOWS.
Download the .exe file e.g. for Windows XP.
Most probably it's a zip archive. Try (on Linux)
unzip -v <this .exe file>
If it works, you only need the  .ppd file which is an
ASCII file.  Copy this to your cups directory
probably  /etc/cups/ppd

IMPORTANT: send a complaint to Ricoh for not supporting
           Linux directly!
