CentOS - Dec 2005 - CentOS 4.2 clean install -- can't print to officejet k60

Hello all,

I have a new disk and installed CentOS there but I am unable to print.
I thought the printer was having troubles because from the
/var/log/cups/error_log everything
appears to be working.  The printer is not printing however.  I
attached the printer to a windoze 98 box and I could print fine.  I
had printing on my previous system(FC3) but this isn't working.
If I can't print then  I am dead in the water.  From what I've read
there are some contradictions
the docs say that hpijs works with USB (and I think that's what FC3
used) but other docs say to use hpojs, but I don't see that in CentOS.
 I'm using KDE and the printer was config'd after the install
completed.   I turned on all the cups debugging.  What other things
can I try? Are there some raw commands I can send to the printer via
echo or something like that?  Is there a safe way to install hpojs on
CentOS?

Thanks.

linuxprinting.org lists printers that work with Linux (USB or
otherwise) There are few printers out there that do not work with
Linux. Just because its works with Win box is not a guarantee that it
will work with Linux box also.
SO the first question is which printer is this?
