I'm not sure about RHEL but on my distro HP printers use a package called hplip.  You may want to see if you can install that.

This command will download Driver

Step 2 :- Unpack the downloaded Drivers.Execute Following Commands
tar zxvf foo2zjs.tar.gz
cd foo2zjs


Step 3:- Now Compile Drivers & Install Drivers (GCC Packages need here now)
[root@ask4itsolutions.com~]# make
