Re: [newbie] Does anyone know how to set up a HP Deskjet 722C to work with Linux Mandrake 7.1?
Where do you get the pnm2ppa package? I have the same printer and it doesn't work well at all.

When I was using the original setup program (when I was installing Linux on my system), none of The HP DeskJet 710, 720, and 820 series printers will not print with an alternate printer driver. The HP DeskJet 710C, 720C, and 820C series printers do not have an alternate driver available in Windows 98 or Linux. These Printer Performance Architecture (PPA) printers use a different printer language that is not compatible with any other printer driver. Phil Connor Emory Booty Co.

I just installed Mandrake 7.1 and the install went just fine but I seem to have messed up on the password part. I tried not using a password but it wouldn't let me get around it during installation and I typed part of a password and I can't remember exactly what I typed. So X starts up just fine but I can't get pass the login. Can someone please tell me how to change or get rid of my password. This is my first experience with Linux and I know little of nothing about it so if there's a way to fix this I'll need some detailed instructions. Someone told me to "reboot and at the linux prompt type: linux single" but I don't know how to get to a "linux prompt". When I start my computer my options are: Linux, Failsafe, Windows, Floppy. I would really like to not use a password at all. Your help is appreciated GREATLY.

Thanks for all the help! I tried the different things that was suggested in the failsafe but never could get it fixed. as for trying to type "linux single" at the LILO, it never gave me a chance. LILO was there and gone in about 1/10 of a mill-a-sec. I just reinstalled and got it up and running, and I must say my first sight of a Linux OS impressed me. But why do all the programs load and run like I have 16 megs of ram on a 486 computer? I'm running an Athlon 750 with 128 megs of ram. I partitioned my Linux drive for 3.5 gigs. I also tried my internet connection and it said my modem was busy, but it wasn't. Any Ideas?
