Most HP printers want hplip.  Check your /var/log/messages for an error 
message about a 'back-end'.

# yum install hplip hplip-gui hplip-libs

Afterward, your print job should just happen.  Modern USB printers 
usually need no config at all for CPUS to see it and work.  Just plug it 
in and it should show up in printing dialogs.

Good Luck!
