which ink-jet printers is Ghostscript compatible with?

Maybe I'm asking a rhetorical question, but has anybody put a serial line
sniffer on one of these winprinters and seen what the protocol consists
of?  I'm sure that a driver could be written, though I think the best way
to do it would be to have it setup like a filter so that you would direct
all your output to like /dev/hp720c that would then pound it into tin that
winprinter could understand and ship it out /dev/lp*
