You need to set up CUPS.  I don't know how, I don't have a printer, but check out www.tldp.org.  I'm sure they have something.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

HP is good about deskjet drivers, should be an easy find.

[EDIT]: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=us&tool=softwareCategory&rule=36548&dlc=en&product=60426#

Unfortunately, doesn't provide Linux driver downloads.

I thought most HP printers already have drivers in CUPS... Newby... what's that link to the web-interface thingy?
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

My HP DeskJet 712c has been working great for all the years I've had it.

If that isn't working, then CUPS probably isn't running. 

Try doing "nmap localhost" (assuming you have nmap) and see if that port is open.

As root,

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

Then reboot.

You can also execute it after making it executable.

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

Yeah, I considered saying that, but I think a reboot makes people feel better, so they know it'll work "from now on"
