I don't know enough about Linux yet but my with my old IT Support hat on, I assume you've a happily working print driver. Testing using yesterday's AppImage all is fine here including test of Draft Rectangle and dimension.

Yep, that was it that particular machine has no printers installed.
Thanks!

Thanks @drmacro, just don't know where define a system printer, I marked my printer as default in Ubuntu configuration but didn't work, however I realised I could preview and print opening the same project file in my old Freecad 0.19

If you have a system printer defined it should just work. 0.19 or otherwise.
You are referring to the File>Print or File>Print preview menus in FreeCAD, right?

Yes, File>Print or File>Print preview menus doesn't work,
I was looking for printer options in Edit -> Preferences but could't see any printer reference. When you say define a system printer I am not sure if it is done in FreeCAD options or at OS level.

Nothing to do in FreeCAD. It simply looks at what is defined in the system printer settings.
In Ubuntu, you go to the application selector and type printers, and select the Add printers tool and set up a printer and set it as default. This is all system level, not in FreeCAD.
