Yesterday I installed Big Sur on My MacBook Pro 2017. At work is an old HP Laserjet 1020 printer. I installed the printer driver package from the Apple website on Catalina to work. You won't be able to install it on this version. Not support.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
Hi, there's a lot of useful information above which has helped a lot of users. I'll repeat what worked for me. Here's the message from Jan Hedlund that helped me solve the problem and my reply. I hope this also works for you.

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.
Hi,
Yes I did and it's not working :(
life saver! works perfectly fine now, HP Laserjet pro M1136MFP
Thanks a lot) I just add some advices for all
For download HP Driver 5.1 use this link https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05900790 and ftp client FileZilla
Then do all steps in previous post ArthurCatkins
Sadly, this does not work for me in Catalina. Hmmm... Does anyone have a website where we can download drivers that actually work? Also, why does it work for some and not for others. Buying a new MBP and upgrading to Catalina has killed my ability to use my handy dandy HP 1020 - a workhorse for the ages. I need to use this printer so badly. If anyone out there can help, I'd be so grateful. This single issue is causing me not to upgrade in the future to any Mac products. It's such a simple issue. Apple should support this printer! Here the message I get.
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 *** el mismo problema *** 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 (*** 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.
