Hi Byron,
Well not sure what was going on. I had not tried to reboot
as I was able to
print from my word processor, photo editing software, and
the help system
within Geez, but I tried that after you mentioned it, and
still couldn't
print. The printer is on another PC in my home network, so
first I tried a
different printer I have direct to my PC. This worked fine,
then I moved
the 722C to my PC. In that process I also downloaded the
latest drivers
from HP (V10.3) and that worked fine direct. Then moved the
722 back to the
other PC upgrading the driver as well and again it worked
fine. The only
thing that changed recently on my PC was the upgrade to Geez
V2.6 and an
upgrade of my email client, and nothing changed on the PC
serving the
printer. Either way it is working now and just wanted to let
you know.

PS Just noticed this is going direct to you, no problems to
post to the
list if you want.
