Khawaja Sahib i have read it, Install and configure CUPS successfully.
I have add a printer (HP Laserjet 1020) through the web interface (http://172.16.5.1:631). Share it through samba.
also add that printer at Client side. Printer status is ready, when i sent a print to that printer it shows in the printer Queue, but doesn't print it ...

Dear hrchaudhry,
Salam,

Reinstall printer driver. If it will not work then try to re-install perl package from package mananger.

Best Regards.
