Hello every one. I am new to linux, and just install debian 8.

I connected an old HP LaserJet 1020 priter and debian 8 automatically detected and install driver for it.

I tried to do PrinterTestPage and print from within libre office. Both printjobs went to print queue but none was sent to the printer. What could be the problem?

Please advice!

Go to CUPS (http://localhost:631)-->Printers-->[Your Printer]-->Maintenance-->Print Test Page and tell us what happens.

Also, do you have HPLIP installed?

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.org. Based on your description, it is likely the configured driver is not suitable for your printer, or some other problem exists within the filter chain. We can examine the CUPS error_log for further information if need be, but to start with examine the ppd file to show which driver (filter) is currently in use...
The output can be posted here if help required to make sense of it.

1) The openprinting.org site lists the foo2zjs driver as being suitable for this model

2) Alternatively, you can use the HPLIP driver

Install the hplip package from your distros repository and set up using its installer...
