HP DeskJet 722C is a nice looking printer, but its performance
or lack of is certainly overwhelming;  HP is known for its hardware
and not its software, and I think HP needs to stick to what
they do the best.  In addition, they need to assure that their
core competence does not erode.

The DeskJet 722C has paper handling problem and software problem.
Numerous type of paper has been tried and the printer is having
problem feeding the paper; each paper is crunched at the upper
right hand edge.  This brings up the software problem/incompetency.

The H 722C printer driver requires two-way communication between
the printer and the driver.  Many times the computer just print "What
you requested is not possible because computer has lost communication
with the printer."  This is going to sound like a bashing HP day, but
what I am saying here is sincere.

I have been using a HP Laser 6L hooked to a Bloomberg Machine.  The
output streak about every 4 or 5 pages.  I had to remove the
cartridge and shake it, then I get about 3 or 4 nice pages, then
the streak starts...

I have a LaserJet 4P and am happy with it ( I got rid of the Printer
Management software that came with it because its causing problems
with other devices on the parallel port).

The DeskJet 722C sure LOOKS good though.  I am going to return it
tomorrow and buy the new Microsoft Force-Feedbak joystick instead,
may be I will try the DeskJet 800 series...then may be I'll try
the Canon Color Jet instead.
