The power supply unit within the printer also would have damaged while the surge took place . The SMPS - the power supply - is quite sensitive to the power surge and so could have damaged the driver or the front end . you need to take a look at the SMPS unit to confirm. remove the power supply and check for fuse, if the fuse blows again then you have a problem in hand. http://www.fixya.com/support/r5826301-working_switch_mode_power_supplies

Chances are the power surge has damaged the Ricoh. A printer repair shop will be able to give you a estimate on how much it will cost your to repair it after he assess the damage.
If it was me, I would not waste my money to a repair and put this money towards a new printer.
Some surge protection board manufacturers have an equipment warranty that you can claim against in the event their surge protection powerboard fails to protect your equipment.
