Network Printer over samba not working on lubuntu 15.10

[Mrinmoy_Dey]

The printer always returns with 'filter failed' error. I have tried re-installing it several times. Even tried with different version of hplip (3.15.7, 3.15.11 & 3.16.2) but still problem persists.
Here is the error log from /var/log/CUPS/error_log

I am going nuts :/ Someone please suggest how to solve this.

Don't know if I can help or not, but maybe we can work through this. I have some experience with a couple of network printers that have always worked once they were set up and configured properly.
Is your printer connected directly to your network? Did you assign it a static IP address? Can you successfully ping the IP address of the HP1020?
Please provide the specifications for your computer -both hardware and operating system, your printer, and your network.

As it turns out, the problem was with hplip plugin itself. Whatever version I have tried seems to be broken/not working with HP LaserJet 1020.
Solved the problem by installing 'foomatic-db' package using synaptic package manager. Don't install 'foomatic-filters'. Earlier I was installing both - since the error was filter failed. Foomatic-filters conflicts with CUPS.
After installing 'foomatic-db', I re-installed my windows network printer via samba using the foomatic driver instead of hpcups and everything worked fine.
