hplip 2.8.9
cups 1.1.21 (installed from solaris packages)

well, my question is:

how to make HP M1120n working with hplip 2.8.9 with supported OS (for example linux) .. i will then try to make it working with Solaris :)

what is the file hp_laserjet_m1120n_mfp.plugin needed for? ... what format does that file have?

2.8.9 has only a single plugin file that contains support for all the
printers that require (or optionally can use) a plugin (PPD, binary
driver extension, etc). If you were to download the plugin file (from
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-2.8.9-plugin.run)
and then run the plugin (sh ./hplip-2.8.9-plugin.run (as root)), that
should install it... You can also run hp-plugin (as root) if that will
work on your system.

i have run that hplip-2.8.9-plugin.run already and it created following:

ls -l /opt/hplip/share/hplip/prnt/plugins
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 53784 okt 22 21:44 lj-x86_32.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 okt 22 21:44 lj.so -> /opt/hplip/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/lj-x86_32.so

which program loads lj.so ? i have tried to "truss" (it's like linux strace) almost everything in my system, but i was not able to find a program which loads it.

It is loaded dynamically by hpijs.

i was investigating PPD files... and those that were created during compiling hplip from source have this line:

*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip-hplip"

and those, that were installed by hp-plugin have this line:

*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"

and i can see CUPS complaining about missing /opt/sfw/cups/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip

do i need to use special configure flags to make hplip compatible with hp-plugin?

thanks

create a link for foomatic-rip to point to foomatic-rip-hplip.
However, the plugin lj.so is a linux binary.

thanks

err=16 is coming from hpijs because the attached printer is unsupported.
In your case, hpijs fails to load lj.so.
