I tried to add the printer:
HP Color LaserJet CP4020 Series Printer
but CentOS 7 must not know what driver to use.
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

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"
Thanks,
