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 got cups working. Finding the drivers is the hardest part!

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.

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"
