I have no experience with it, but I believe that the 820 is to real
printers what a winmodem is to a real modem.  That is, most of the
brains is in the driver.  But don't quote me on this. :)

I think that people are having more luck with this one that the modem
one, though.  I believe you can get ghostscript to output the right

All this doesn't help you, I'm sure... :)  Try looking at the Printing
HOWTO (search for that) -- or just do a search for the "deskjet 820 linux"
and see what comes up.
