Laserjet 1020 via Jetdirect 175x - help needed

Hi, I've have a small Mac network and I'm trying to setup my hp Laserjet 1020 via a USB hp Jetdirect 175x (I know this isn't a very Mac friendly printer).
I followed the advice given in another discussion here (thank you poekim) and with an older hp laserjet 1022 driver I got the printer working fine by connecting the USB directly to the Mac. So I know it can work.
I just can't get the printer to work correctly via ethernet / jetdirect. Using the Printer Setup Utility I select 'HP Jet Direct - Socket' under Protocol and enter the IP address (it confirms the address is a 'Valid and complete address'. However the driver does not appear in the HP list under 'Print Using' and when selecting 'Other' I can't find the 1020 driver in Library/Printer or admin/Library/Printer.
I can log on OK to the Jetdirect's Embedded Web Server via Safari.
I've installed, uninstalled & re-installed and the driver several times but can't seem to find it on the system.
I got my hp Officejet working fine via a Jetdirect.
I'm using a Mac Mini G4 with OS X Server 10.4.
Any help would be appreciated. My OS X knowledge is limited - but I'm always willing to learn !
Thanks in advance.

Drivers HP provides for its USB printers are limited to USB Only. You need a third-party CUPS driver to be able to print via IP printing. Your printer is one of the harder ones to set up. Read here:

You will need the foo2zjs driver plus Foomatic, plus ESP ghostscript:

Good luck.

  • Job prints but is then stuck in queue - LaserJet P1102 with JetDirect 175x print server

    Hello,
    I have an unusual error happening when i try to install my P1102 through a print server. Everything installs ok and allows me to print a test page, the next document i try to print prints ok but the job remains in the queue and stays there. After a couple of minutes saying Printing it then says Error, and any other attempts at printing get stuck behind this job. Then, if i dont delete the job in error from the queue it will print this document every 10 mins until deleted or i switch the printer off!
    The set up is a LaserJet P1102 attached to a JetDirect 175x print server, PC running Win7 x86
    Things i have tried:
    - Install on another pc. Tried both Win 7 x86 and x64
    - Changed print server for known working one
    - Connected via USB, printer works fine
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

  • Snmp config impossible on Jetdirect 175x (J6035B)

    Hej all,
     it's now quite a time I have troubles with my setup: Laserjet 3020 with Jetdirect 175x (J6035B).
    Initially I had troubles using the scanner via network. I permanently got the error 'Device in use by another user'. Finally I found a hint to reset the snmp entries in the network configuration of the Jetdirect:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=339831&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=339831&objectID=c00800606
    Trying to follow that instruction, I found those (no) settings already configured. I tried to reset the entries by disabling snmp (and applying) and enable it again. But when enabling snmp read-write access, the web tool tells me 'The Get Community Name does not match the Confirm Get Community Name.' But the fields are empty....
    What can I do?
    B.

    Aside from the blatantly obvious solution of connecting the HP Jetdirect print server directly to the Airport Extreme...
    What is it connected to?
    Do you by chance have another router and that device is connected to it? If so, configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) so that it is acting as a bridge (NOT sharing a single IP address).

  • Need Big Help on my HP Laserjet P1005 via airport express

    I've been using my HP Laserjet P1005 via airport express for about 3 months.
    However, this printer won't act wirelessly anymore.
    It does work fine with USB connected.
    I tried to reset everything, and it's still not working.
    I've read some posts on this forum and installed those three packages, but it seems not works for me.
    By the way, the P1005 driver version is 1.0.6.
    I really hope someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance.

    Yes. I have install the lastest version of HP driver 1.0.6, with Mac OS 10.5.

    But if you update to Show Leopard 10.6, You should use a prior driver HP 1.0.4, if not, the printer would not work. Here:

I plugged it into the new time capsule I just bought and added it on my Macbook as a network printer, but it wont print. Any tips or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance!

  • Laserjet 1020 printer doesn't work through airport express. PLEASE help me

    Hi everyone. I've just bought a laserjet 1020, and though I can perfectly "see" it through the airport admin utility, there is no way to have a page printed. Works perfectly when connect it to the laptop through usb though. I have already tried every iFelix solutions, changed drivers (HP 1022, etc.), bonjour for windows, manual configurations, etc. Is there something else out there that I didn't figure out? Please help me. I'm in one of those moments where there are no more ways left to check out in google. I will really appreciate any advice.
    Regards,
    Martin.

    There are issues with regard to HP and Apples.
    I take it that your Laserjet is plugged into the XP computer and that you are tryiny to print to it over a network.
    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences> click on "+" to "Add Printer", at the next page click on "More printers", this should then bring up a box with the name of your network in it. It will then show the name of your Apple and that of the PC into which the LAN cable from the router is plugged, click on this PC and the next box should throw up the name of the printer, click on this, then DON"T click on ADD but on the slot with "Generic" showing, you can then scroll down the list to Laserjet, click on that and find the "Gimp" version of the driver with your printer's model number, this is the one you should ADD.
    Now this may work first time, unlikely given Apple's track record of network printing foul ups; you may have it print only a 1/4 page. If this happens, try "ADDing" a driver from higher up the Laserjet range; this is what I had to do to get my Canon iP3000 to work (I use the iP8000 driver with reasonable success)
    There are also CUPS+GIMP drivers in the list; with the Canon these just printed a 1/4 page of solid black, nice for the ink manufacturers, but expensive for us!
    The Gimp drivers are a third party product, 2 years out of date, and for which Apple accept no responsibility.

  • Cannot load printer driver -- direct USB to HP Laserjet 1020. OSX finds the printer, but "Print Using" will not accept the driver. I downloaded from HP, installed the DMG and PKG. Things looks OK, but Print Using: won't accept the driver. Please help !

    Sorry for the long title -- I am new to this forum.
    This should be SIMPLE -- just trying to get old Mac G4 desktop to print on directly attached (USB) HP Laserjet 1020.
    Several online sources say the HP drivers for Laserjet 1022 work fine ...
    I deleted all printers, installed the HP drivers (all prompts indicate it is installed fine), re-connected the printer by USB. OSX recognizes the printer and auto-populates its name in the Name: box, puts "desktop" in the Location: field ... and the Print Using: field is gray, saying "Please select a driver or printer model"
    I click the arrow to expand options, choose Other ... and get a selection box for identifying the driver. I open the folder with the PKG file and click it ... and then find myself back at the printer setup with the the Print Using: field still gray, and still saying "Please select a driver or printer model."
    I have tried this process a half-dozen times with re-starts in between --- cannot get past this sticking point -- aargh !
    Any advice would be welcome. Thank you !

    Hi, no apologies needed, the new forums are the worst iteration so far!
    Anyway, getting old here, but I think I have an hp 1022 at work that works fine in 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5.
    Try this & let us know the outcome...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.

  • Mac Drivers Needed for LaserJet 1020 - Product# Q5911A

     I cannot find a driver that will work with either Lion or Mountain Lion operating systems for this printer.
    Does anyone know of an HP Driver that will work with the LaseJEt 1020 and either of these operating systems?

    Hi,
    The specific model is not compatible with Mac OS X and therefore the issues:
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-LaserJet-1020-Printer-series/439423/model/439428/document/c01...
    Try the following workaround and check if that may work:
    Download and install the following package:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Ensure the printer is powered on and connected to your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Click the plus sign and select the listed 1020 printer.
    Clcik the Use drop down and click on Select Printer Software, locate the HP Laserjet 1022 and add the printer.
    Now try printing using the created print queue.
    Hope that work,

  • My iMac Not Working With My HP Laserjet 1020 Printer

    Hello Everyone,
    Ok here is the problem my HP LaserJet 1020 has been working fine up until i upgraded to Snow Leopard i am currently running (10.6.2) and i have had heaps of issues with Snow Leopard i just don't know whats wrong with it i thought it was supposed to be Finely Tuned. Anyway back on topic so i put in my HP LaserJet 1020 Disc install some stuff and then i go to Add a new printer via System Preferences and it either Freeze when i click Ok or i have to Quit the process and Add a new printer again, guys i just cant seem to get my HP LaserJet 1020 and i really need it working i run a website and i need to pint things of for documentation this is really doubting that i buy a Mac and a printer dose not even work on it i mean in the Snow Leopard manual it says Printer Driver Updates i thought it meant it would be much easier and simpler but no its all back to the hard ways.
    Anyways guys if there is anyone that can help me get my HP LaserJet 1020 to work it would be much appreciated because i havent had much errors or issues with Mac in the past until now this sudden upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Current Operating System:
    Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2
    iMac 4 Inch/ 500GB HDD/ 4GB RAM /2.93 GHz
    Thanks Your Help Would Be Very Much Appreciated

    Hi maxskingsley,
    If you are still unable to print from your iMac, the first thing to check wouId be that the printer and the iMac are on the same network.
    Now if both devices are on the same network, next I would suggest an uninstall, and reinstall of the software for the printer. To start, I have included the document 'Uninstalling the Printer Software' http://bit.ly/1amRotF. Please click on your operating system, and follow through the steps.
    When the software is uninstalled, you will need to reset the printing system of your Mac. I have included the document 'OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system' http://bit.ly/1bS2qrh. At this point you do not have to re-add the printer. After resetting the print system on the Mac, the next step will be to complete a verify and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions' http://bit.ly/1bjFnnP. For step 3, the disk that you do want to select is the hard drive. One the repair of the disk permissions is complete, please restart your Mac.
    At this point you will need to reinstall the software for your printer. I have included a link to download the 'HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks' http://bit.ly/1lC0Orf. After the download has completed, please open the software, and follow through the on screen instruction for installing the printer.
    The last step will be to make sure that you have all the latest updates from Apple. Please click on the Apple icon, and then Software Update. Please install all available updates.
    Now please try to print from the iMac. Are you able to print successfully?
    Regards.
    I work on behalf of HP

  • How can I determine how many pages my Laserjet 1020 printer has printed in its lifetime?

    I am trying to be proactive in determining whether I need to plan to replace my Laserjet 1020 printer.  I know that I have seen printouts from resellers/refurbishers which show the number of pages that a printer has printed in its lifetime.  I am just trying to figure out how to get this information from my printer so that I can see how much life it has left.  Can anyone tell me how to generate this report?
    Thanks!!
    This question was solved.

    Hi davesuff, 
    You should be able to view the pages printed by going into the driver. Let me know if this works?
    1. Printing Preferences
    2. Basics tab

  • 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.

    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!

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.
