Is a void * equivalent to a char *?

Given the following code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char array[100] = "What is your favorite car?";
void *vp = &array;

printf("%s\n", vp);

return 0;
}

Is the printf() statement correct? Or is a cast to char * required for vp?

printf("%s\n", (char *) vp);

That is, assuming a void * is pointing to a string, what is the proper way
to print the string?
.
