Re: [newbie] Printer problems

The HP 722c and other printers around that model number are a special
PITA from heck.  HP decided to use a proprietary set of drivers, which,
despite all their talk about linux support, they have yet to release to
the communtiy the details.  Dig around on SourceForge for the pnm2ppa
project, and look thru the archives at Linux Journal and Linux Gazette
on these printers.  There were several _really_ good articles a few
months back on getting these to run under linux -- IIRC, they are up to
600x600 bw, and maybe color as well.  Not quite the 720x720 color you
would want/expect, but pretty good for having to reverse engineer the
drivers from scratch.
