Just a quick FYI to all who have the 722C printer...
It doesn't work under DOS just by itself. In other works, you can't just
dup ASCII to it and have it print. It need a driver of some sort even to do
something as simple as that. I've tried printing from EDIT at just a DOS
6.22 prompt with no success. And I made sure it was set to LPT1. If I'm
mistaken someone please correct me for mine and everyone else's info.

Ok...I looked at the "Linux Printer Compatibiltiy" web site
and was really tempted to go more to the HP side,
especially since they say they're supported under DOS 3.3
and above. My thinking on that was that if they're
supported by DOS 3.3, they CAN'T require any special
drivers.... :-)
I guess what HP means when they say it'll work under DOS is
that it'll print black & white text! :-)
Do you know anything about the Apollo P-1200 Color printer?
It's supposed to be an HP printer in disguise -- Apollo
being a subsidiary of HP.
