The simplest thing to do would be adding the line /sbin/modprobe printer to
the end of /etc/rc.local Or, if you you want the more difficult but, imho,
better solution, recompile your kernel and make sure usb printer support is
compiled in.
As for your path, you should be able to add a line to your ~/.bash_profile
like the following:
export PATH=$PATH:/somewhere/else:/another/place
which will add /somewhere/else and /another/place to your path. If you want
to set your entire path, removing what was there before, just do the
following:
export PATH=/somewhere/else:/another/place
