Driver HP LaserJet 1020 MacOS Big Sur

Thanks for the tip but when I do that I only get the possibility of choosing one printer in the Laserjet series: that's the Series HP Laserjet PCL 4/5. Tried that but it didn't work. Does anyone know a reliable site I can download the 1022 driver?

when you go to add a new printer, select software.

once you come up with the list

search for

HP 1022

It will come up with a few options and then select the top one.

It worked for me.

I am having more difficulties with this update but its more to do with wireless falling off. I have resolved this by erasing the location(2015) and creating a new one, i called it home.

All good for now.

wonder what else I will find, other than a rather long booting cycle now.

I have the same problem, but I'm confused as it appears that the original post is "Solved" but it doesn't actually seem to be. Is it possible that @DmitrievSlavkin accidentally marked the answer from @KsuSadko as solving the problem, but it actually doesn't?

In Big Sur, having deleted the old printer and having selected HP Laserjet 1022, the only printer software option that appears is HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5 (the same happens if I choose the 1020) and it doesn't work. I tried to download the printer driver for the 1022 from the HP website but when I try to install it I get a message saying 'This volume does not meet the requirements for this update'. The same happens if I choose the 1020. If anyone else has any more ideas about how to solve this please let me know.

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.

Buenas tardes,

Me encuentro con el mismo problema con mi impresora. No soy capaz de imprimir, se ha perdido el controlador y me dice que da fallo y solo aparece para Laserjet 4/5, me deja enviar la impresión, pero no la hace. Por favor, rogaría que me indicaran como solucionar esto, ya que la impresora es de suma necesidad para mí.

Gracias.

Un saludo.

Hola, siento que tengas el mismo problema. Vivo en España y, cómo has visto arriba, me pasa lo mismo. Incluso he conseguido el driver de la impresora (el 1022 para mi 1020) de otro ordenador y no ha funcionado y he intentado todo lo que dicen aquí pero sin éxito. Para imprimir tengo abrir un documento en un MacBook Pro viejo (con High Sierra) y enchufarlo a la impresora. Si no tienes la suerte de tener acceso a otro ordenador estas en una situación muy difícil. A ver si alguien logra solucionar el problema - por cierto, no he intentado la solución de ColinY (arriba) - pero parece es de pago. Un saludo.

Buenos tardes amigo y Apple user.

Many thanks. It's really kind of you to lay out the information is such a clear and useful way but, unfortunately, on a new 2020 Mac with Big Sur this is not working (it did work on High Sierra and Catalina). It's frustrating to think that this works for some people and not for others. I hope others have more luck than me.

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....

Removed all printers and I tried this (selecting HP 1020 from the list) but the latest version of Gutenprint (v5.3.3) doesn't seem to work with Big Sur. The document is sent to the printer but it does not react to the command.

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.

I have just had a look on the HP support website and have learned that the 1020 was first sold in 2005. So it could be 15 years old and by then HP have usually suspended support . Did you try their websites? Have you used it wireessly or on a USB cable connection?

Has this HP printer worked on oyur Mac? Which one is it - see it in "About this Mac" on top of the Apple menu top left of screen?

Do try the HP website and maybe they will let you download the drivers. If it doesnt work let us know more detail of your Mac.

Yes, I have used HP 1020 on my Macs for years, but once I upgraded to Catalina it stopped working. I checked their support page and they have indeed discontinued it, however, I still want to use it as it's the best made printer I've ever owned in my 50 years of life. I'm sure that there are many others out there that would agree with me. I loved it so much I went out and bought used ones years ago, so I have three of the same one making it more important that I get it running again. One is connected to my old iMac 2009 with Lion, another on Windows 10, and the one that won't print is my MBP with Catalina. These printers have saved me soooo much money over the years in not having to buy much printer ink or buy new printers when they break every 3-5 years.

You bring up an interesting point about wireless; no, I have not yet used a wireless connection to print from it, but I think that would be cool to set up once the driver works.

Hi again. I think you have answered the question even if you are sad anout it it’s days are over - I think.

I threw out two younger HZp printers this year but I knew Hp would not support them so as they were cheap . Terminee! I still have an old one and a new one. The old one works on several of my older Macs but not my Apple {[ 1977! No usb in those days.

id connect your Hp to your Mac and then go searching for usb drivers on zhP websites!

im not optimistic! Sadly!
