The HP DeskJet 720C, 722C, 820C and 1000C are PPA printers. They will
not work with the PCL drivers above. You are expected to use PPA
printers with a special Windows printer driver. You might be able to
use the Ghostscript mswinpr2 device which is only available under
Windows and talks to the Windows printer driver. A PPA driver for the
HP820C does exist for Ghostscript. It was written without access to
documentation. See ftp://ftp.ig.utexas.edu/outgoing/scottk/820C/
