HPLIP 3.9.10 supports Photosmart B109a-m.
You can install the latest version (3.10.2) of HPLIP from http://hplipopensource.com/

I'm not on my on PC, so I can't show you the hp-check output. It shows me, that b109a-m is unknown. On the HPLIP homepage is shown, that b109a, b109c, b109e, b109d, b109q, b109n and b109q=r are supported. In the list isn't the b109a-m included. Is there any logic mistake at me?

I found the hp-photosmart_b109a_series.ppd file. Could I change the Product name on line 10 from b109a to b109a-m, so I could it use with my type of printer, especially the scanner?

I think it is bug in HPLIP. We will fix it in upcoming release.
To fix this:
Open /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat as root(sudo)
replace photosmart_b109a_series with photosmart_b109a-m
scanning should work now using xsane.

For printing you can use hp-photosmart_b109a_series.ppd file.

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).
