I haven't been keeping track since, so I'm not sure what the current state of recipes in yocto is. We only need to be able to print pdfs. It's not fast, but it works.

What type of printer are you using? For HP printers, use the hplip drivers. There is a detect/add printer script which is handy for adding USB printers. For other brands, I'm not sure. I think there were some recipes for canon and epson printers. Below is a list of the packages in the image related to printing, the python packages are for the hplip add scripts, and the perl is (i think) for the foomatic filters.
