Why my HP LaserJet MPF1132 didn't print anything from my VirtualBox Ubuntu 16.04 if anything looks OK?

I installed Guest Additions and the Virtual Box extension Pack and now I can attach my printer to the VM through USB. I configure the printer using the GUI and send a "test page" but after around 2-5 minutes the status in the printer queue change to "Stopped", like the following image:
The cups daemon is running (I check with sudo /etc/init.d/cups status:
I review the error log (/var/log/cups/error_log) and nothing appears, it's empty:
The USB is printer is detected by the VM (I run lsusb to check the USB ports).
The only error messages that appear is:
error: HPLIP is not installed properly or is installed without graphical support. Please reinstall HPLIP
warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.
error: hp-systray requires Qt4 GUI and DBus support. Exiting.
warning: Unable to connect to dbus. Is hp-systray running?
When I execute hp-info -i this is the output:
I get this when I run the hp-info -i command. But I believe it is a HP GUI module missing and it is not very important to have it (If I'm wrong let me know).
- Virtual Box Version: 5.2.6
- Ubuntu Version: 16.04.02
- Printer Model: HP Laser Jet-Profesional M1132 MPF
My questions:
- Why does the printer is not printing the test page?
- Did I do a bad config of the printer?
- Anyone can print from a Ubuntu VM Virtual Box through USB?

It might be easier to expose the printer as a network printer in the host system and use that from the guest system.

I go to the support page of HP and download the HPLIP (the one that I mention before) from: https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
I run the script with bash bash hplip-3.17.11.run and follow the instructions of the automatic installation mode.
- Old Version I had: HPLIP 3.16.3
- New Version: HPLIP 3.17.11
After all it was the HPLIP that make my printer fails. This is the solution I find. Hope it works for anybody having this issue!
