have you tried "starting" the printer directly through the cups interface? point your web browser to http://localhost:631 which is the cups web interface.

You claim to be using an hp printer, and if so try the HPLIP Toolbox as a way to see what's going on. You can find it under Applications -> Debian -> Apps -> Tools -> HPLIP toolbox. A
