hplip-2.7.9 install

Attached is an update of the installation notes of hplip on Linux From 
Scratch/Beyond Linux From Scratch, this time for the 2.7.9 release. The 
notes presently in the Hplip documentation need to be replaced by this. 
Judging from some of the Help-cries I have read, this may be of some use.

Keep up the good work!

Installation of hplip-2.7.9 on Linux From Scratch and Beyond

This document describes the installation of hplip-1.7.1 on a Linux
from Scratch (LFS)/Beyond Linux from Scratch (BLFS) setup. We have
OfficeJet usb printers in mind. Printing and scanning was found to
work well on the HP-OfficeJet 5510 all-in-one.

Some system components of the LFS/BLFS build on which this experience
is based are: gcc-4.0.3; glibc-2.3.6; udev-088; Linux-2.6.16.5;
python-2.4.3; libusb-0.1.12; usbutils-0.72; xfree86-4.5.0; gimp-2.2.10; 
cups-1.1.23; ESP_Ghostscript-8.15.1; sane-1.0.18; xsane-0.994; 
foomatic-3.1.0.

The procedure installs hplip /usr.

It is assumed that

        (i) all the system requirements for the building of hplip are
            met. In particular, CUPS should be working on its own;
