The HP Linux Imaging and Printing SystemThe HP Linux Imaging and Printing SystemPosted Dec 9, 2004 14:37 UTC (Thu) by utoddl (subscriber, #1232)Parent article: The HP Linux Imaging and Printing System This is some seriously encouraging news. But conspicuously absent from the list of supported printers are any of the ill-fated PPA models of which the DeskJet 720 series was an extremely big seller at one point. Any idea how this relates to the pnm2ppa project which allows Linux machines to drive PPA printers? For the curious/uninformed: The idea behind the PPA models was that the printer could be a significantly cheaper if the resource intensive computation (color tweaking etc.) was handled on the PC side where the user already had more computing power than he knew what to do with, and the printer could be a dumb ink squirter and paper handler.
