Hello,

We want to have USB printer support in our application.
We are using HP LaserJet P1106 USB printer.
We would like to know How to install HPLIP on Collibri iMX7 board.
We have installed CUPS on board but there is one issue (Shown in attached image).

We are using Embedded linux open embedded layer.

Please help!

Hi @eklavya19

Could you provide the version of the hardware (including carrier board) and software ( uname -a ) of your module?

Could you share the dmesg log in a text file and the output of lsusb when the printer is connected?

Best regards,
Jaski

Dear @eklavya19 ,

Thank you for contacting Toradex Community!

Could you please verify if your CONFIG_USB_PRINTER in your .config file is enabled?
If not, could you please ENABLE this setting and re-compile your colibri_imx7_defconfig by using make colibri_imx7_defconfig. Here is the link for Kernel re-compilation reference.

As you are using CUPS, you might also want to install the CUPS package using opkg update && opkg install cups

Thanks and Regards,
Janani.
