Question

Windows XP pro and HP laserjet 1020

I've been trying to figure out how to successfully print from a powerbook to a laserjet 1020 that is being shared on XP. Has anyone successfully configured a mac to work with it? If so, can you help walk me through the steps?

Thanks.

You'll have to install drivers for the laserjet 1022, as HP offers no specific drivers for the 1020.

Thanks, I did download the driver because I read that it would work. The problem I ran into was that the driver didn't show up as a selectable choice under HP printers when I picked the printer. Should I select other and then browse to the driver location? If so, where is it?

Thanks.

Thanks I did find this site also, I tried the unix print services on XP but couldn't figure out what to do on the mac side. I couldn't get it to work.

I may just return the printer and get something else.

Donald, did the Laserjet 1022 works with the Laserjet 1020?
I´m having the same problem with my PB and a PC with XP sharing a Laserjet 1020.

I have a similar problem. I have a 1022,it is attached via USB to my (ugh) Windows XP computer. The Windows box is connected to my router, and I can access and print to the Laserjet via Windows Printing. BUT .... even though I have installed the driver on both the Windows box and the Mac (the HP Laserjet 1022 does not appear on the pulldown menu along with the many otehr HP products) I cannot get it to register as a 1022 when I print from my Mac. I can print ... I lied and told the computers that it was an HP Laserjet 4 ... but my guess is I am losing some functionality. Any ideas? how does one get the 1022 into the dropdown menu?

Thanks!

Thanks for everyone's input.

I tried the 1022 driver but couldn't figure out how to apply it to a printer being shared using xp.

I ended up returning the printer and getting a hp 1320. Great printer. Works with OS X out of the box.

Yes. Although I ended up connecting it to my airport express via usb. Turned it on and the mac saw it instantly.
