Just bought one of the above second hand. I run XP and have obviously
installed the driver via XP. Problem here is that I am sending the
printer jobs but they just remain in the queue, never printing!

I am running your normal serial cable, all connections have
been checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Deskjet 722 does not have a serial connection, it only has a parallel
(Centronics style) port. Make sure the Centronics or IEEE-1284 cable is
plugged into a proper parallel port. Also check in printer properties
(Start, Printers and Faxes, double click on the Deskjet 722, Printer) that
neither "use printer offline" nor "pause printing" are checked.
