HP LASERJET 1020 PLUS PRINTER PRINTING PROBLEM

HI.
I AM RAJA PAUL FROM INDIA, I HAVE A HP LASERJET 1020 PLUS PRINTER , NOW A DAYS   I AM FACE ING A PROBLEM , WHEN I AM GOING TO PRINT FROM THIS PRINTER , EVERY TIME PRITING LETEER SHOW  Distorted characters. WHAT I DO?   

Hi @rajahp ,
I see by your post that the printer is printing distorted characters. Thanks for providing the screen shot. I can help you.
It looks like a issue with the toner or possible a hardware issue with the printer or fuser.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, toner on the drum or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
I have provided a document for cleaning inside the printer and running a cleaning page, resetting the printer and checking the driver settings. Resolving Print Quality Issues.
Try printing a document again.
Let me know the results.
What kind of paper are you using?
Try another type of paper to see if you have the same results.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What is the toner level?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • LaserJet 1020 won't print first document after powering up

    My LaserJet 1020 won't print the first document it receives after powering-up. Print manager shows that the document is being sent, the printer makes noise like it's getting ready to print, but the document is never printed and I don't receive an error messages. If I send the document again the document prints as does every document there after.
    I'm using Windows Vista Professional and the printer is connected via USB 2.0.

    Hi jnickelsen,
    I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
    What drivers are you using?
    Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
    If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hp laserjet 1020 plus driver for windows 98

    i want to download hp lasejet1020 plus driver for windows 98 ,on hp site win98 operating system are not available on list.
    Please send me driver on my email,because still i am using win98 for some necessary work which are not supported on upper verson.

    I did some research and found at one point Win 98, Win ME, and Win 2000 all used the same driver for this printer (atleast from what i could ascertain). Given that information, I would assume that the current available Win 2000 driver MAY work for Win 98 (can't be certain as I do not have a Laserjet 1020 plus to test this). Here is a link to that software if you wish to try it:

  • Hp laserjet 1020 does not print

    Operating System Windows 7 PRO 64 bit
    Does the HP laserjet 1020 work on the above software?
    Tried to uninstall the printer drivers but failed. Message-setup encountered an abnormal program execution. setup will shut down. This was using the hp uninstallprogram. Tried the HP diaqnositc. Said all printer functions ok but could not pront a test page.
    Installed new drivers.started over but no test page printed.
    You can disconnect the printer and run a test print that goes to the print que and holds. Turn on printer and the que clears but no page prints.
    Frustrated and confused.

    This question was solved.

    Can you go to the Devices and Printers folder and on the top task bar, click on remove printer? If not, then...
    You can also go into your C:// drive, then Program files, then HP folder, and delete the HP LaserJet 1020 Driver from there. Not the ideal way to do it but you can do it this way.
    Once you have done this, go back into your Devices and Printers folder, makes sure any printer (doesn't matter what one as long as it isn't the 1020 if that is still showing) has a green check on it, then up in the task bar, click on Print server properities. Open this and click on the driver tab, if the 1020 isn't showing in there then it shouldn't be in your driver store anymore. If it is showing in the list, try to remove it by clicking the remove button. When the pop up appears, try remove driver only. Then repeat the process and try remove driver and driver package. Sometimes the second option doesn't work until you do the first option, sometimes it doesn't work at all. If it doens't work, then you need to go into your C:// drive and remove the folder following the steps above. Make sense?
    Make sure you have deleted your download folder and recycle bin and you should be okay to re-boot and re-install.

  • Laserjet 1020 Won't Print Multiple Copies

    I have a Laserjet 1020.  OS is Windows 7, 64x.  If I give a command to print any document multiple times, it will only print it once.  So, if the document is 1 page and I need 5 copies, it will print that one page one time.  If the document is 4 pages and I need 5 copies, it will print the four pages of the document, but only once.  So, the issue is with multiple *copies*, not multiple *pages*.  I have tried the simple stuff (turning the computer on and off; checking for updates; removing the printer and completely reinstalling it; etc.).  Nothing works.  I did see elsewhere somebody say that if you go to start; devices/printers; right click printer; and hit DEVICE SETTINGS tab, then you can change this "MOPIER" mode thing.  But that is the problem... THERE IS NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB.  No, I am not crazy.  It isn't there.   So, the problem with that fix, which appeared to work for others in the HP Forum, won't work for me because there is NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB.  So... How do I fix this?  Why don't I have a device settings tab?  Help!  :-)

  • Laserjet 1020 does not print / print spooler shuts down.

    Print spooler shuts down after installing lj1020_1022-HB-pnp-win64-en and restoreing to previous windows 7 restore point.
    I have deleted the printer several times.
    Running x64 windows 7.  This is a new problem after several months of running consistenly.
    BK

    I have the same problem but only with printing documents from secure sites (online brokerage)  like statements and Tax Documents.  The problem exists whether I print directly from the website, or download the document and try to print the file.  I suspect the issue is with the driver for the 1020 because I can print the same files on my HP PhotoSmart Plus with no problems.  I too am running Windows 7 64 bit edition.  The bad print job stops the Spooler.  You can Restart the Spooler (it appears), but the minute you try to print anything, the Spooler shuts down again.  Rebooting does not fix the problem.  The only solution is a System Restore.
    After the 1020 shuts down the spooler, even my PhotoSmart cannot print, but it at least produces error msgs to the
    effect that "No pages have been selected for printing".  Trying to print from the 1020 - absolutely nothing happens - no printer dialog, no error message - just nothing.

  • My HP Laserjet 1020 will not print from Internet Explorer 9

    I just get an error message saying that "an error occurred on the script on this page."  The printer works fine with other software.  Moreover, Internet Explorer will print perfectly on my old HP deskjet 940c.  I've downloaded the latest driver for the Laserjet 1020, but it doesn't help.  Any suggestions?

    My Hp 1020 Laserjet will not print  when using Explorer 9, it did when using Explorer 8.
    I get an error :
    Unexpected call to method or property access
    Code: 0
    Url: res://ieframe.dll/preview:js
    It will print when using Mozilla FireFox
    What can I do ?

  • Laserjet 1020. Cannot print with Internet Explorer 9

    I have downloaded the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer 9  and now find that I cannot print emails with my HP Laserjet 1020. Previously when using IE8 printing was OK. I use Windows Live Mail and Windows Vista as my OS. I also have an Epson printer that works OK with IE9 and Live Mail but the HP does not. I would like to keep IE9 if possible

    Hi ATOL,
    It sounds like you might be selecting properties instead of  "printer properties".
     Double check and make sure that  you're selecting "printer properties" from the list.

  • Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) prints blank pages after cleaning?

    I have a Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) that was working well.  I was getting toner streaks so I disassembled the covers and cleaned dust and toner out.  Cleaned plastic and plates with soapy sponge, cleaned rollers with alcohol, brushed and used air to clean dust.  I'm good with mechanical projects. After re-assembling, I print blank pages.  The menus, display, and computer interface seem fine.  Paper feeds correctly.  Self Test displays no errors, but I am unable to read printed test results or settings.  I went into Service Mode, and ran Self Test there.  I'm ready to disassemble it again, but do not know where to look for improper fit.  What would prevent any characters from being printed?  I'm using Windows XP drivers, and parallel port cable. 

    Hello kbright,
    Welcome to the HP Consumer printer Forums.
    The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.

  • HP 1020 plus laser printer support on mac os/x snow leopard.

    I have a HP 1020 plus printer and manufacturer refuses to provide drives for mac os/x. There is a free version of a driver by third party but it does not work well and there are some issues with cleanup of old files which are getting in the way of installing it on my mac.
    How do I get this to work?
    thanks

  • HP Laserjet 1020 Plus not friendly with MS Excel ???

    Hi, I am having OS Window 8. I am able to print thru HP 1020 PLUS MS Word docs but not able to print MS Excel sheets as Laserjet printer does not appear in printers list. While setting it as default printer devices, i am getting error message "operation could not be completed (error 0X00000709). Plz guide.........

    Hi Bhupender,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having issues setting the printer as the default printer and you can't print from Excel spreedsheets.
    I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
    I would set up a new Admin user account on the computer to see if this will allow you to set the printer as the default.
    Go to start->type change PC settings and press enter. In the opening page, on the left pane, navigate to Users and click it. On the right pane, scroll below, where there is an option Add new user. Click it. Select the appropriate account type and type the username. A new local user account will be created.
    Try printing from Excel again.
    If you are still having issues then I would do a full uninstall and download and install the Full Feature Software drivers.
    The driver might have become corrupted.
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    HP LaserJet 1020 Printer Drivers.
    Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
    Hope this helps resolve your issue.
    Have a great day.

    You may try the following workaround and check if tha may work:
    Download and install the following package:

    Ensure the printer is powered on and connected to your Mac.
    Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
    Click the plus sign and select the printer.
    Click the Use menu and then click on Select Software.
    Select the HP Laserjet 1022 from the list and click on Add.
    Now try printing using the added Print Queue.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 has stopped printing

    This printer is my default printer on a desktop PC running Windows 7. It has recently failed. When I try to print using Cntl-P or File > Print, the printer box shows a line of text indicating that there is a job waiting but only for a second - then it disappears and nothing prints. I installed the latest driver, I moved the UBC cable to a different port and rebooted. Nothing works. Please advise.
