I am trying to print from Linux to an HP DeskJet 722C that is attached to a
win98 machine named KB0498 and IP address of 192.168.1.3.
In the Linux Print Tool, I am unsure which printer to choose. There seems to
be
drivers for 5xxx,6xxx, and 8xxx, but not 7xxx. I have tried most of them
with
no success. That is, the ASCII Test from PrintTool shows up in the Printer
Queue, but never prints. Well, when I first ran the setup and did an ASCII
print, I managed to get a page to the printer that consisted of a single line
of
text, but after that, nothing would make it out of the spooler. I see the
lights on the hub blinking, and I can ping 192.168.1.3 so I know they are
communicating. Now I DO have the same printer shared on my NT Server
box(KB01NT, 192.168.1.1) I know, NT should at as the print server, but I've
gotta be different. I have tried configuring the printer to go through the
NT
box to no avail, figuring that since the printer is shared, it could somehow
be
found. I guess what I'm trying to ask is .... Does anybody know if a driver
is
available for the HP 722C in case that is the problem, AND/OR can anyone tell
from the rambling information above if I am going about this in the right
way?
Thanks,

Hi Bryan,
I'm a newbie also, but I believe that your HP 722C requires windows
software to work. In other words the printer equivalent of a "winmodem". One
of the gurus on this list may have a work around for you, especially since you
are networked with an NT box.
Good Luck,
Mike
