I last setup a HP 694C under RH 5.2 and used the 'Control Panel -
Printer Setup' in X to set it up ... and it was done (it also was a
piece of cake for the SuSE boxes to send remote print jobs to that RH
5.2 Linux print server ...

Now the printer is on a different box with SuSE 6.3 ... not quite as
easy to set up as was with Red Hat ... but is there something so
different with your 722C model?
