Free Download HP Laserjet 1020 Driver Windows for windows 7, windows 8 Win 8.1, Windows 10, Vista (32bit & 64-bit), XP and Mac OS X Series Driver Installer HP 1020 Driver All-in-One Printer for the latest updates software download for Operating System. My Macbook isn't recognizing my HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series printer. It used to, but I guess a recent update to OS X 10.8.5 has messed up the driver.(?) The printer shows up in my finder, but shows up as idle, even when the printer is on. I can print a test page from my computer and trouble shooting says that means there's a problem with the.
Hmm there is one small but annoying problem.The 1020 needs to have its firmware uploaded after it is powered up otherwise it won't print. I was able to make an Automator app that executed this script but it's still a pain. Plus, for some reason after I upload the firmware I then have to unplug and replug the USB connection before it will print.
Afterward, it's all good.I'm clueless around the command line so hopefully someone will come up with a better way to do this, especially now that it seems that the old driver is a no go. Try thisHey, everyone.I made some instructions that are as simple as I can possibly imagine. It is exactly what I did and I am able to print to my 1020. No guarantees that this will work for you and if you know absolutely nothing about the command line it may be better to steer clear. That being said, it's so cookie-cutter that you should be able to do it regardless.Standard disclaimer: this may not work for you and could potentially screw up your Snow Leopard install (although that's probably pretty unlikely).Download the two files here:. One is a text file with the instructions and the other is a.zip file - expand it and you will find the Automator app I describe in the text file.
FYI this app does not do the install for you (although I wish it did) - it's only to help with a small bit once you've got everything done.Please post back with your system config and whether or not it worked. I am going to be around today - I'll try to get back to any quick questions. But I am going to be out of the country for two weeks starting tomorrow so at that point you're on your own.Good luck! Just need a driver updateThanks to those of you that posted all these work arounds, but the point of a Mac is that you don't have to do this type of stuff to make it work.
If we wanted to go through this type of hassle we would be running Linux.10.5 worked with the HP 1020 by just installing the 1022 driver, as posted earlier. My assumption, (always dangerous) is that we just need an updated driver that will work with SL.
Has anyone had any luck with or heard about new SL drivers coming out of HP. Maybe if they update the 1022 driver for SL we can then use that update again.Pretty important since this is the laser printer that is networked to by everyone in my house.
If I don't have an update in the next week, I'll have a rebellion on my hands and will end up having to buy a new laser for the house. Makes the $49 dollar family upgrade look as expensive as the windows 7 upgrade.Thanks all.

Couple of quick notes - glad some more people are getting their 1020s up and running. Second - to those complaining about the driver, I agree that this sucks but remember the 1020 was never sold as Mac-compatible.
It was only a fluke that the 1022 drivers worked and HP even updated the driver to longer work with the 1020. Fortunately the old driver was not that hard to get. My only question is whether there is any reason other than some BS market segmentation for why the 1020 wasn't Mac-compatible from the start.
I never had a problem with the 1022 driver.
