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.
