The printer is the same as a AR-5520 so you can use the files here. May help:

Or more psecifically:
http://www.openprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.php?driver=Postscript-Sharp&printer=Sharp-AR-5220&show=0

Delete the printer then tell the system to use the PPD file to set it up. Should be fine.

Can you help with this problem?
