Hi. When I searched the HP Deskjet support user community forum, a web
site was listed that at least has correct b/w support for the 722C printer
and Linux. The site to get the driver/information is:
http://www.httptech.com/ppa/
Along with that, with HP saying it will be supporting linux, you should
also log onto the HP deskjet support site, and ask them for a linux driver,
or at least for HP to release the specifications of the PPA printer language
that is used by the 722C, and other HP printers.
Take care,
Bill Moshier
