RE: [newbie] Does anyone know how to set up a HP Deskjet 722C to work with Linux Mandrake 7.1?
Hi, I've got a PII, 350MHz, with 64MB RAM, and I was trying to get my printer - a HP DeskJet 722C to work with Linux Mandrake 7.1. 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 have an hp 720c set up in mandrake 7.1, i had to install the pnm2ppa package which rpm info specifically mentions the 722c as well, my version was 0.8.9-0.pre2mdk so it is alpha but it works for me, i think i had to configure the printer by running the command: printtool from the console - it was a while ago and i have forgotten what i read up about it but on my machine it does work bascule Phil Connor wrote: Hi, I've got a PII, 350MHz, with 64MB RAM, and I was trying to get my printer - 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.

This printer has another protocol than most of the other DeskJets. Therefore you need to install the pnm2ppa package. Till "Daniel R.

When I was using the original setup program (when I was installing Linux on my system), none of the settings I tried worked (I basically tried all the different HP printer drivers to see if I could get one to work). And, when I could get output, everything was overlapping and out of place. I've tried several times to log in under root, and use the printer configuration under DrakConfig, but now I can't get the printer to print out a test page! I was wondering if that might be because there were jobs in the print queue that couldn't print, blocking even a text only job from working. But, I couldn't find out how to access the print queue. So, has anyone ever set up an HP722C printer before? I didn't see and HP 7xx drivers in the printer setup box, and I didn't see any messages about it in the archives, so I assume it can't be a common problem - or I'm searching under the wrong term. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! -Dan
