From the Ghostscript webpage (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html)

The HP DeskJet 720C, 722C, 820C and 1000C are PPA printers. They will not
work with the PCL drivers above. You are expected to use PPA printers with
a special Windows printer driver. You might be able to use the Ghostscript
mswinpr2 device which is only available under Windows and talks to the
Windows printer driver. (HP DeskJet 720C and 722C printers appear to work
with mswinpr2).
