'avahi-browse -ar' is a more useful command; it gives more detail about
the services found.

The C410 is not an Everywhere device.

Remove the USB connection of the printer to the server. It is not
needed. Simply the network by disconnecting the server from it or
switching it off. Only the C410 should be on the network now.

Obtain the URI of the C410 with

 lpinfo -v

Check the socket connection by executing

 /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp

Obtain the PPD with

 lpinfo -m | grep 410

Set up queue:

 lpadmin -p 410 -v <URI> -E -m <PPD>
