Hi,
I'll ask the silly questions first:

1) It's plugged in [usb]
2) It shows up in 'lsusb' and 'less /etc/sysconfig/hwconfig'
3) As root [su - password] 'rpm -qa | grep hp' What does it say.
4) It's configured by using 'system-config-printer-gui' as root.

Other questions can be asked depending what info you can provide on you 
problem.

Good luck david
