Hi Team ,
I am having a bulk order production of printing using imx8 board , the number are 1000-3000 units a year . so kindly help us in printing usb for hp1108.
I am trying to print using imx8 board using usb with hpp1108 printer:- Following are the details of yocto

   1. Your Linux Distribution and version.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz
or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc)
or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases
(both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
PYEXT SCANCONF QUEUES PERMISSION

Status Types:
    OK
    MISSING - Missing Dependency or Permission or Plug-in
    INCOMPAT - Incompatible dependency-version or Plugin-version

    4. A Detailed explanation of your problem
We have bitbake following commands .I am also sharing hplip_3.19.12.bb file for reference .We are still unable to print even though command is sent.
    • Add the following in .bb file
" hplip cups \ pkgconfig \ python3 \ python3-pip \ python3-distro \ python3-dbus \ cups-doc \ cups-lib \ cups-libimage \ cups-filters \ hplip-ppd \ hplip-cups \ hplip-backend \ hplip-filter \ vsftpd \ "
    • We have added meta- custom layer .
bitbake-layers add-layer ../sources/meta-custom
Bitbake was successful.

Following command are working

# lpinfo -v
  network beh
file cups-brf:/
network lpd
direct hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108?serial=000000000QND6D60PR1a
network socket

network ipp
network https
network ipps
network http
direct usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P1108?serial=000000000QND6D60PR1a
direct hpfax
check the available printer drivers # lpinfo -m
     -List all drivers add the printer name # lpadmin -p HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108
#add the printer name .ppd
lpadmin -p HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108 -E -v usb://HP/LaserJet_Professional_P1108?serial=000000000QND6D60PR1a -m drv:///hp/hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_professional_p1108.ppd
Now add the printer as the default printer # lpoptions -d HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108
Check the default printer
# lpstat -d
system default destination: HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108
        Following command are not working
       Now print a file/pdf
# lp -d HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1108 test.pdf
