+RedHat users may find the following tip from Panayotis Vryonis <vrypan@hol.gr>
+helpful!
+
+Here is a tip to intergrate HP720C support in RedHat's printtool:
+
+Install pbm2ppa. Copy pbm2ppa to /usr/bin.
+Edit "printerdb" (in my system it is found in
+/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters )
+and append the following lines:
+----------------------Cut here
+-------------------------------------------
+StartEntry: DeskJet720C
+  GSDriver: pbm
+  Description: {HP DeskJet 720C}
+  About: { \
+           This driver supports the HP DeskJet 720C inkjet printer. \
+           It does does not support color printing. \
+           IMPORTANT! Insert \
+                "- | pbm2ppa -" \
+           in the "Extra GS Otions" field.\
+         }
+  Resolution: {600} {600} {}
+EndEntry
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now you can add an HP720C printer just like any other, using printtool.
+
+[Author's Note: The same should work for the 820 and 1000, but it hasn't
+been tested.  Also, use the pbmraw GSDriver if you have it; it's faster. ]
