1) kudzu does not need to know that you have a printer and is not
required for you to install your printer.

2) In Gnome use Applications->System Settings->Printing.  Enter root's
password when queried.  Click "New" icon in "Printer configuration"
window.  In "Queue name" enter 'laserjet' or whatever you want for the
print queue name and a description (optional).  In "Queue type" select
"/dev/lp0".  In "Printer model" click on the "Generic (click to select
manufacturer)" dropdown list box,  scroll down, select "HP", and
select the model of your printer, etc., etc.
