I've always believed that the HP 700 series was a series of winprinters. I have a 722C, and I know for sure that it is a winprinter. There used to be a web site where you could get hacked drivers for the HP winprinters. But I went out and bought a separate printer for my Linux. In fact on the old family dual boot I had a data switch connecting both printers to the computer. What happened was that HP wanted to compete by selling a high quality printer for a low price. So they took out the expensive chips from the winprinters and had them run from the computer's hardware.
