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.

  • Second monitor on iMac not working with Lion

    I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt 21.5" iMac. A secondary monitor is connected to the iMac with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable (a single cable, not an adaptor and cable).
    When I was running Snow Leopard, the monitor worked just fine. After upgrading to Lion, the second monitor just has a black screen, and quickly goes into power save mode.
    I have already tried resetting the NVRAM (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) and resetting the SMC (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
    Has anyone seen this problem? Any other suggestions for solutions?

    same here, just performed the upgrade to Lion and my secondary Samsung screen (direct HDMI cable) do not work anymore (I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5'').
    I have tried the tricks mentioned on the following discussion:
    No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade
    ie open terminal
    cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
    sudo mv DisplayProductID-0  DisplayProductID-0.old
    Reboot after entering the commands
    But it is not working, the developper clearly messed up the video output in Lion OS!!!
    Let me know if you have a solution, I am reduced  to single screen use in the meantime... and regret the upgrade...
    Thanks

  • IMac not working with wireless printer

    I have purchased an iMac running OS X mavericks 10.0.2 along with an HP 4260 printer.  I can now print from my iPhone 4S and iPad mini but not from the iMac unless I have the USB plugged in.  It just keeps telling me that it can't find my device. Help

  • Airdrop on iMac not working with iPhone 6 plus

    I have iMac from 2010 running Yosemite 10.10.1 (most recent update) and a brand new iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.2 (also latest version). I cannot get them to see each other to use Airdrop. In fact, when I open the Mac Finder window with Airdrop, I don't get a link called "Don't see what you're looking for?" which I understand is usually on that screen.
    I don't know if this is related or not, but I also cannot connect the two via Bluetooth.

    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model.

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

  • Hello,  I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.  Mail icon was accidently removed along with program.  Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

    Hello,  I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. 
    About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user.  Oops.
    1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X. 
    2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks  (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS.  I am unable to load Mail.  Gives Yellow error message.    
    "  You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
    3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
    Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
    Ideas?
    MattDeeds

    Matt,
    I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

  • Isub not working with new imac

    the help menu is telling me to make sure that the isub is plugged in, and then to make certain it is selected under sound preferences... the only problem is that the imac is not picking up that the usb is even plugged in- there is no isub option that comes up on the sound preferences.
    the isub works fine on my older mac, but just is not being read on the new one. any guesses other than my old isub is obsolete with my new imac?
    thanks
    -pd

    The iSub is sweet! It's the best sub I've ever had! There's no reason for it to NOT work with the new Macs. It's a bummer. I still have my iSub, maybe they'll start supporting it again someday.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Not working with Fedora 14

    Our ERP is compactible up to Fedora 14. But I newly purchased Printer(
    HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw) is not working with this OS.
    Give me a urgent solution

    Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
    I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
    Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
    Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
    Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
    Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
    I can send a private message with another step to try.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Is this a new printer?

  • HP Laserjet 4 plus not working with Powerbook G4 & 10.5.8

    I have been using a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 with a HP Laserjet 4 plus without any problems. Last week I updated my G4 to 10.5.8. To acheive this, I purchased a full retail 10.1 DVD from Ebay installed it then updated to 10.5.8 using Apples Update Software feature. I believe all the features of my computer work except printing. Previously I have been using an apple wireless network without any problems.
    Now when using 10.5.8 I have tried this:
    1) select system preferences
    2) then select print & fax
    3) then click on the plus sign to add a printer
    4) the window that shows up that says default, fax. ip, windows, bluetooth, apple talk, more printers across the top of it.
    5) In this window the are two Laserjet 4 plus machines listed. One is listed with Appletalk and one is listed with Bonjour Shared. I only own one machine. I have tried selecting both of them separately and each time the same problem continues to happen.
    Each time either of the Laserjet 4 plus printers are selected the "Print Using" pull down menu begins searching for new drivers. The gray circular animation just goes round and round and eventually does not do anything. Obviously something has not installed correctly. Or there is a conflict somewhere that I have not been able to figure out.
    I have downloaded and installed the HP Laserjet and Edgeline print-only.mpkg from HP's website. The problem still exists.
    A family member in my household is using an Intel MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with this same HP Laserjet 4 Plus on the same bonjour shared network without any problems. This being the case, I am confident the old HP 4 Plus printer will work with 10.5.8 using an apple wireless network.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    The HP 4 printer has a JetDirect card in the back of it. The JetDirect card has a 10BaseT ethernet which I connected with an ethernet cable to an airport express base station. The express unit communicates with the main airport unit in my home.
    Many years ago I worked for a company that rebuilt macintosh computers and hardware for resale. I rebuilt this HP printer from spare parts and added the JetDirect card at that time and have not had any major problems with the unit until now. It had no problems or printing errors when I was running 10.4.11.
    I neglected to mention that after the printer would not work with 10.5.8 I went back and tried to reinstall the optional printer driver package on the original 10.5.1 installation DVD. When this did not work either, I downloaded the HP print driver package available from their website. Could I have somehow screwed this up by installing the incorrect or uncompatible print drivers?
    Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

  • HP Laserjet P1102 does not work with Windows 10

    I have just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and whilst my Canon MG6150 works with Windows 10, the other printer HP Laserjet P1102 does not. Looking at the HP website it seems that the Windows 10 drivers for this printer are not yet available. Is there any way I can use the printer without the dedicated drivers? I have been told I should try to roll back but the printer is not recognised in device manager. Please help!

    Manual, Please let me know the outcome.
