How to install HP PSC 1410 printer on Precise Puppy Linux 5.7.1

After some hair pulling, I managed to get this printer installed. Below are the steps that I have taken:

1. Turn on and connect the printer to the puppy machine
2. Install hplip using puppy package manager. Run command "ppm" on terminal, and search for hplip.
3. Make sure all dependencies are installed
4. Launch cups by going to http://localhost:631
5. Go to "Administration -> Printer -> Add printer" OR "Administration -> Printer -> Find new printer"
6. Choose the printer with connection like "usb://HP/PSC%201400%20series?serial=CN5CDC60T004BM" with hplip in the name
7. For Driver, choose "HP PSC 1400 Series, hpcups 3.12.9 (color, 2-sided printing)"
8. Set default settings for the newly added printer by going to "Printer -> HP PSC 1410 -> Administration -> set default option". Print settings in application does not work.
9. You are done..... Congratulation :)

The definition of ls column headers in long listing mode

Thanks to http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/41832-ls-l-column-headings.html, I have managed to find out what is the meaning of all the column header in ls -l command. Below are the details:

# ls -l
total 52
drwxrwxrwx   2 root root    41 Jan 14  2013 archive
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  3072 Aug  3  2013 bin
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   578 Jan 14  2013 README-archive.txt 

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     3 Feb 17  2013 run -> tmp

1st column is file type(d for DIR, - for Files, l for links) and access details for UGO (User Group Others aka file permission).

2nd column is Number of links (2,1), the number of names there are for the file. Generally an ordinary file will only have one link, but a directory will have more, because you can refer to it as ``dirname'', ``dirname/.'' where the dot means ``current directory'', and if it has a subdirectory named ``subdir'', ``dirname/subdir/..'' (the ``..'' means ``parent directory'').

3rd Column is File/directory owner (root)

4th Column is File/directory group (root)

5th Column is Size of the file and Dir (41, 3072)

6th Column is Date the file / DIR created. ( Jan 14  2013)

7th Column is File Directory name (archive, bin)
