Are you adding the printer from the CUPS webui?

You may not find any Linux drivers on the official driver page but ... try the HPLIP drivers http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/color_laserjet/hp_color_laserjet_cp4020_series.html

I initially tried to set up the printer from Applications/System Tools/Settings/Printers.  I then went and looked at CentOS 6.5 and it had a different tool, so went poking around in the menus and found Applications/Sundry/Print Settings and that let me get further with setting up the printer. After setting up the printer there was this message

Missing Driver

Printer requires ‘/usr/lib/cups/filer/hpps’ program but is not currently installed.

Thankfully just a few days ago the question came how to find a file in a package so I tried:

yum whatprovides hpps

but nothing so I tried

yum what provides */hpps

and it said it was in hplip so I installed that.

I click on OK on the error and attempted to print a Test Page.  But nothing came out.  Do I need to restart cups after adding hplip?

I found the Print Status and the job says “Stopped"

I look on CentOS 6.5 and the same HP printer drivers are not available.  How do I get the drivers or is the new list just available on 7?

Thanks,
