Driver HP LaserJet 1020 MacOS Big Sur

Hello,

I solved this problem and now my HP 1020 works perfectly with Big Sur 11.0.1 on a new MacBook Pro with the M1 chipset. I did the following:

1. Download HP Uninstaller, HP drivers 5.1 dmg (600.3MB) and the latest version of Pacifist.
2. Use HP Uninstaller to remove all traces of HP printer drivers.
3. Use Pacifist to extract and install HP 5.1 drivers.dmg.
4. Attach HP 1020 printer via USB cable and Turn ON.
5. Open printers and scanners.
6. Add printer.
7. Select HP LaserJet 1020.
8. Select software.
9. Enter search term HP LaserJet 1022.
10. Double-click on HP LaserJet 1022 1.6.1 driver and select Add.

The printer now operates perfectly as before!

Hello again,

If you have not done so already, take another look at Apple's download page https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888?locale=en_US . It has a new title, HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS, and a new date (Dec 11, 2020). I guess that this is the update that DmitrievSlavkin was referring to. You may want to check whether it would change anything for your printer.

Kind regards,

Jan

Solved!!

Thanks so much for your message, Jan. I returned to the page and found there's a new driver for the HP LaserJet 1022. The one I found before was the v5.1., which didn't work. Anyway I decided to try again and downloaded it. It turned out to be a new driver with the number 1.6.1. and, after the usual installation process, voilà! It worked and the 1022 was in the list! So, at least for me, the problem has been solved and my old 1020 is working perfectly. Went to this page: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888?locale=en_US As stated above it actually says the drive is v5.1; however, it downloaded the 1.1.6. So, my recommendation is to go the link and try your luck again.

On Big Sur (M1 or Intel), you can extract the files you need from the HP Printer Drivers 5.1 package from Apple to install the driver for the HP Laserjet 1018-1020-1022 without the need to run the installer.

Download it here:

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888?locale=en_US

Open the DMG file and mount it, then go to Terminal and use this command to extract the PKG files:

pkgutil --expand PATH-TO-PKG-FILE PATH-TO-EXPAND-TO

Once you've expanded the first PKG file, you'll get another folder with the same file (HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg), run the same command on this file, and it'll give you all the files you need. You can copy these into your /Library/Printers/ folder.

I have uploaded the HP Printer Drivers for the Laserjet 1018-1020-1022 here, which is a much smaller download and cuts out all the stuff you don't need. When dragging these to the /Library/Printers/ folder and trying to add the printer in System Preferences, you may get a message that the printer drivers need repairing in order to make the printer work. Press OK and there you go, you're ready to print!

The HP driver 5.1 doesn't work especially if you have done a Big Sur fresh installation with disk format.

I installed without problem my 1020 printer with this file:

https://gofile.io/d/CpJFAE

After installed, it work also on M1 Macs: connect the printer, go in system preferences add the printer and select your model, you're ready to go.

On the apple site there a folder of HP printer software drivers 5.1 package as pointed out by DHeraud above. Download the file. Restart computer. Connect printer and start it. In the printer scanner, choose add printer. In the select software setting choose HP LaserJet 1022 software. It is compatible with 1020. It worked for me. Hope it solves your problem as well.

Download Gutenprint Mac from SourceForge and install in addition to your HP driver.

Remove all previous printers. Then add printer and select Gutenprint in the drop down box.

Its worked for my USB only Canon IP4950....

After an erase install of Big Sur, the drivers for my printer were missing. I downloaded new ones from the printer website, but they would not install. Eventually I used Pacifist to pit the package contents into their default locations. Now both my printer and scanner work normally.

After a Big Sur clean installation download this https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/ASU/HewlettPac...

right click and start installation, go ahead from the alert (it's an officially driver) and finish the process.

Add the printer (1022) and it'll work like a charm.

Instead of 1020 select 1022 that will also work

Maybe. But in fact, the problem has been resolved. You need to delete the old printer in the settings and add a new one, just select the driver for HP LaserJet1022 and the printer prints.

Many thanks to everyone who has sent messages of help.

When you Add a Printer, pick the HP 1020 then do select the driver and use HP 1022

Usa este driver. Selecciona 1022

I can only suggest that you log in to www.hamrick.com with your Mac and OS and with the scanner/printer connected. Hamrich software will tell you and offer you te driver for your HP including a free trial.

Oops, seems like I'm not allowed to post that link. Oh well.

You need to copy the following folders to /Library/Printers/hp/:

cups (**the only file you need in /cups is "Laserjet.driver", everything else can be deleted/left out)

filter

laserjet

PDEs

Utilities

You need the following file in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/:

"HP LaserJet 1022.gz"
