Re: [newbie] Re:Printer
I did check for the most up-to-date Ghostscript package and it would appear that my printer, the HP722c is not supported yet. The HP690's and the 800's are on the list, but not the 720's. I really hate the idea of having to buy a new printer just for Linux. Linda Hatch help and make sure that I print out this information. Since my printer is unusable in Linux, I have to do all my questions on Win98. I have a HP Deskjet 722c, and have already found out that it is handled like a winmodem. Bummer!!! You might try finding updated Ghostscript packages. I know they've done alot of work supporting HP WinPrinters, so it's possible that you'll be able to use it under Linux. WinPrinters are a bit different than WinModems, so they are supported for the most part. -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [newbie] Re:Printer
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.
