It appears to me that this model is one of HP's infamous "WinPrinters". See http://www.pandi.hp.com/pandi-db/dds_data_sheet.show?p_model_no=C5870A&p _prod_type_id=6&p_model=DeskJet720C pay particular attention to: The HP DeskJet 720C is designed for Microsoftr Windowsr3.1x, Windows95 and WindowsrNT 4.0 operating systems and Minimum System Requirements: For Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Windows 95: 80486 CPU, 66 MHz, 8 MB RAM (16 MB recommended). For Windows NT 4.0: 80486 CPU, 66 MHz, 16 MB RAM. This probably means one of two things: 1. It's one of HP's infamous "WinPrinters". or 2. They only give you drivers/support for these platforms. I'd bet money on #1. And if that's the case, I call HP and raise HELL if they didn't put that ALL OVER the outside of the box!! And, since I live in the US, where we have a Federal Trade Commision (I know how ineffective they've been), I'd call them and speak of fraudulent products.
