O.K., I've installed libusb-dev, but also libcupsimage2-dev which is
also required
As well I've installed sane-devel and libnetsnmp-devel, which aren't
necessary unless you want to print from a scan and have your printer
available over a network. In the installer's language, they are
options. In Debian-speak, they would be classified as recommends.

...and from there, the install runs without a hitch, including
disabling and enabling any conflicting or required packages along the
way:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUILD AND INSTALL
-----------------
Running './configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --enable-foomatic-ppd-install --enable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --disable-cups-drv-install --disable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build'
Please wait, this may take several minutes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...after which it runs 'make-clean', then 'make'.
and providing the option to unplug and replug the usb printer
connection or providing the option for a restart, to register the
printer. Until it hands over to hp-setup, where I get everything going right -
the printer is recognised automagically, the driver is right there in
the repository (hp-deskjet_2000_j210_series-hpijs.ppd.gz), but when I
hit 'Add Printer' in the final stage, I get a pop-up:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Printer queue setup failed. Could not connect to CUPS Server
Is user added to "lpadmin" group(s)"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
..and when I hit 'enter' from there, I get returned to the Desktop
'user' prompt. An abort. That looks like a permissions issue.
Further, when I attempt, as root, to call up hp-setup to configure it
that way, I get:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which appears to be another issue again.
So, what is happening here?
I tried to resolve the permissions issue, but I'm just getting into CLI
and couldn't make heads or tails of anything. I tried all sorts of
command combinations for a period of about a week, but the computer
basically said 'Go away, you're too stupid and I don't want to deal
with you'. As lpadmin doesn't seem to be a package, as such, I'm unable
to use a gui file manager like Thunar and change permissions through
'properties' which is how I've been doing it up till now.
I wouldn't have a clue about the other situation.
Where to from here?
Regards and thanks,
Weaver.
