Download Driver Hp Laserjet 1020

[Rosalia Kemme]

Iused to be able to use my Lasjet 1020 with my Mac until I recently uninstalled it by accident. I have since tried to re-install using the approach suggested here - -Printing/Drivers-for-HP-LaserJet-1020-OX-Mavericks/m-p/3669404... - but it is not working.

While I seem to be able to add the printer using the HP Laserjet 1022 1.6.1 driver, when I try to print through Word, a red exclamation mark comes up and the error I am getting is 'Check the printer for errors'. The error on Printers and Scanners simply says: Error.

I'd be really grateful if someone was able to identify the solution. I just don't see why the 1020 driver was discontinued - it was such a popular printer and even if you can get to use the 1022 driver, the Mac driver doesn't allow two page printing.

I finally discovered the problem last night when I realised it might not have been a software issue. Although it didn't look like it, it turns out there was one piece of paper in the middle of the stack that had been sucked up and was a bit crumpled. Turns out it was a paper jam. Moral of the tale - always check for paper jams!

Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I read your post and see that the Laserjet 1022 drivers aren't working this time for the Laserjet 1020 model. I would like to help you out today.

Unfortunately, after managing to follow your instructions, I am still getting the error where the printer icon jumps up and down in the dock with an exclamation mark on it and it says Error under its status in Printers and Scanners.

It seems that another Mac which also used to work now is getting the same problem and there is a flashing light on the printer. Could this be a hardware issue? I have never had a problem with the printer until now.

I can't follow your instruction because I don't understand if you have to first choose and upload different driver eg. laserjet 1022 either prior to or within your process / actions or if the your process finds the correct driver

There are no Mac drivers for the Laserjet 1020 model from HP's Website. But other users used the Laserjet 1022 drivers. No Guarantees, that it will work for everyone. You can download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.

I recently upgraded from Yosemite to Sierra, which fixed some issues but rendered my HP LaserJet 1020 as nothing more than a large paperweight. After trying multiple fixes that I found out on the internet, I discovered this post. I downloaded the driver Gemini02 suggested above for the HP LaserJet 1022 (file name is hpprinterdriver3.1.dmg) and installed it. Here again is the link: Printer Specifications for HP LaserJet 1020 Printer Series.

In System Preferences/Printers & Scanners, I right-clicked on my 1020 printer and selected, "Reset Printing System". Then I clicked the plus symbol (+) at the bottom of the left column and clicked on my HP LaserJet 1020 printer. This fills the first two fields out. On the third field, "Use: Choose a Driver", I clicked it and selected, "Select Software". I then found my new 1022 driver in the list, clicked, "OK" and it worked like a charm. I didn't even have to restart.

I have a hp laserjet 1020 that I am vpn and remote desktop to a computer at work. I am suupose to be able to print from remote desktop to my local printer (the hp laserjet 1020) using the microsoft terminal Easy Print. The printer is showing up in the printer list, but when I try to print I get an error of Printer not ready. The printer is working fine on the local machine, just not through the remote desktop. I have install the printer drivers on the machine that I am remoting into , just to make sure. Is there anything else I can try. I am not finding any firewalls on either end blocking it?

Thanks for the post. I'm not sure of your full configuration, but I did find this great older article from MS support that I've pasted below. Hopefully, this will help with your VPN/Printer issue.......Good Luck!

After many months of frustration and 7 1/2 hours with Microsoft advanced prof support I've finally pinned down this printer and a slew of others. This problem as far as I have come across deals exclusively with HP printers. In simple terms: the drivers are flawed. This 1022 is a prime example. It prints locally and via TCP/IP just fine. I have about 7 other printers and dummy printers in my printer folder. Enter a remote desktop session and ALL of them populate except the 1022. This shows that the hooks and RDT finders are locating your printers and installing them properly as remote printers. All except the 1022.

Log out of your RDT session: goto the local 1022 setup and change the printer driver to a PCL driver. I used a 1200 PCL driver. Now log back into your RDT server and hockus pocus! there is your printer. Totally un-usable because the driver will not run this printer. Caveat: each time I did this XP crashed (I couldn't get to the properties TAB anymore -- I had to un-install the 1022 and then re-install it with at least 1 reboot in the process)

Moving on we go to the HP OfficeJet/LajerJet2840. Same thing. It won't pass through as remote printer in RDT. Go local. Set the printer driver to AppleLaserWriter8500 and boom. (same logout, change, back in steps) and your LJ2840 shows up and works.

Another work around if you have a static enough environment is to install your local printer that will not show up under RDT on the server, and then point the port to your fixed IP on your router, and passthru port 9100 to your locally installed printer that is failing. You can now be on RDT and chooses the network printer that is printing to the TCP address of your home (or office) router.

We have run in to this issue when setting up our new terminalservices environment. It seems that any printer that is a host-based printer seems to have trouble printing with the Microsoft Easy Print driver. The issues we were seeing however, were that we couldn't print from DOS based applications remotely.

We have this issue when we install from network downloaded drivers. We found a PC that was working and found that it was installed from the CD that came with the 1020 printer. The Test Page has IMFNT5.DLL as it's main driver listed and is version 5.06.

For the LJ 2480 I set the driver to Applewriter 8500 and it worked. I spent all grades of time on this with Microsoft and they say it is a drier problem, and changing the driver and it magically works is proof. I set the 1020 to a PCl driver and it did show up on RDT but the print drier will not run with it -- it is not a host based driver.

If so, the bottom line is that they do not work under either version. My understanding is that host procesing means there are no languages in the printer: Do ability to understand PCL, Postscript, or even the ascii character set ( hence they don't work in real DOS environments). Their output is some form of raster graphics direct to the printers engine. It understand makes dots here and there,

Yet we have another PC running the same version that works perfectly. We are thinking about cloning the box. But I have to wonder if maybe it is an issue with a hotfix/update on the terminal server itself and the users profile happened to already exist before the update.

I also have a very old HP LaserJet 1020. I had it running via USB on my MacBook last year, but after upgrading to OSX 13.4 it seems the compatibility is gone. Note that the driver I formerly used was labeled for a 1022, not 1020, but it worked. Anyway the printer no longer shows up in my list of printers. I tried following Shlomi's post of 8/5/17 but like you, the list of printers was blank, and no way to select or define the HP.

I did read about AirPrint. I unhooked my HP 1020 and plugged it in with the USB to the port on my Apple Airport Extreme. After that, under system preferences and click +, the HP 1020 appears as a choice as a Bonjour printer. No other drivers needed ... works fine.

First, some "hi-tech" info about this printer, so you can understand how it works. The printer is connected to the USB and every single time it is turned on it waits for the firmware to be uploaded giving device IDs to the workstation. The workstation's kernel first recognizes the device by ID and activates program which uploads firmware to the device and the proper cups driver/ppd is responsible for the communication with the device. If the printer is unplugged or restarted the workstation has to recognize the device and send the firmware once again. From my observation I can tell if the firmware is uploaded and wrong driver gets the communication then the printer stops sending device IDs and is not recognized by the kernel no more.

So, first I tried to install the `hplip` package and I used `sudo hp-setup -i` and for first few minutes the printer worked and after few hours it stopped responding and `system-config-printer` reported that it is unplugged. So I went to to `journalctl` and I found some of these messeges:

"The solution for having LaserJet 1020 to work properly on Arch"

1. Forget about `hplip` package - it is useless, it will work until first printer restart, unplug & plug or desktop reboot. The hplip driver has some problems with the communication after sending the firmware to the device once again and in the system it will be reporting that printer is unplugged. In the end it will throw exceptions and wrong exit codes and you will have to deal with udev rules and other unwanted stuff. So uninstall it with `pacman -R hplip` and corresponding dependencies if you installed them as well.
