HP LaserJet 1020 doesn't work on SL, works on Leopard

Have you checked HPs site for drivers? Apparently its up the printer manufacturers to supply the drivers, not Apple.

According to HP, your printer was always a brick when the Mac is considered. Directly from their website, it is NOT a Macintosh compatible printer.

Even their driver downloads page is Windows and Linux only:

Are you sure you have a HP 1020 and not a HP 1022? I have the HP 1022, and after upgrading to Snow leopard, it was gone. Not following the recommended directions, I went to the HP website and downloaded the 1022 driver, added the printer, and it works now. The 1022 is on the list of printers that work with Snow Leopard.

Good luck!

In Leopard and previous it was possible to use the 1020 with the 1022 driver. The HP 1020 was never officially supported in OSX, but I've been using mine with my macs for two years and had no problems until I installed Snow Leopard, at which point it and the old 1022 driver both vanished.

I downloaded the new 1022 driver but haven't been able to get OSX to admit I've installed it.

I am having the same problem with my HP LaserJet P1005 and HP PSC 1210. Both worked fine with Leopard and have not worked at all since installing Snow Leopard. I downloaded the Mac drivers from the HP website for both and have tried to install them several times with limited success. The P1005 at least shows up in my printer list, but when I print something I get an error message saying "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly."

Any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated!

Snow Leopard has done a real number on everybody's printers--much worse than going from Tiger to Leopard. Kind of surprising since Snow was just to be a refinement of Leopard. It sounds like just about everybody's printer has turned into a brick. I can print with my 1022 and that's about it. For scanning and any other function I used to have on my other printers, I'm loading my HP Officejet and HP Photosmart software onto my iBook running Tiger, where everything still works.

This is ridiculous. I've been a loyal HP customer for some time, but I'm not at all sure I will continue to be. My 1022 is not officially supported, nor is my P1006, which is even a current HP model. I guess it's good that Snow Leopard was only $29, since a lot of us are likely going to be forced to buy new printers.

And one of the selling points was improved printer support. Had I known this was going to be an issue I would never have installed this on my server at home.

HP's posted new Snow Leopard printer drivers for the PSC 1210 here: http://tinyurl.com/ne9yss However, restoring the scanner functionality is still an issue, as the scanner isn't recognized. Vuescan works with the PSC 1210 under SL, but it's an expensive option ($39 for a one-year license, $79 for the pro license).

For the 1022 on our office AirPort network, I added a new printer, then used the included driver in the popup window.
HP site says not to use their drivers, but to use the ones that ship with SL

I did some searching and I have solved the issue with the following link

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic

if you install all three items your printer should work as it did using Foomatic, the install is easy and no need to compile anything using GCC / Xcode.

The print quality also looks improved in comparison to some of my older prints, however, I did recently install a new toner so I might just be imagining the improvement.

Which three files, I only see 2 for snow leopard. And your printer worked fine after?

It works!! Driver is foo2zj, my 1020 is finally working on snow leopard from the website that dioioib suggested above. Good luck

Spelling correction: foo2zjs

Hi, not clear on the driver instructions. Can not generate that driver file. Could you please give a little more hints and instructions on how to generate f002zjs? Thank you, much appreciated
