Hello,

Thank you for sharing this howto. Off the Zero Reply List.

Dear shayno90,
I try exactly your procedure, but when it comes to choosing the printer model, in the dropdown list, I have Stylus Photo PX710W, but I cannot find PX720WD, even though I have installed the artisan 725 825 package from avasys.
Any idea on how I can proceed ?

Thx in advance

Hi Patrice, use that printer driver Stylus Photo PX710W as this works just fine with Stylus PX720WD. I did this setup twice on different laptops.
1. On the first installation, the Stylus Photo PX720WD driver appeared for me so I was able to use this one.
2. On the second installation, the Stylus Photo PX7210W driver only appeared so I select this and I was able to connect with my printer just fine so you can proceed with using that driver.

Thanks for sharing the information about the network printing.
