Printing files to HP laserjet 1022

I have had problems with printing to a HP laserjet 1022 printer ever since I installed Snow Leopard. I did not have any problems with printing under Leopard.
1. Now whenever I try to print a word document or a PDF document, it would print only odd number pages and skip even number pages. Only very rarely does it prints all the pages without skipping.
2. When a document finishes printing, sometimes it is not cleared/dropped from the print queue, so that when I send a second document to the printer, it starts to print the 1st document again. I have to manually delete the 1st document to prevent it from printing again.
I have tried to download and install the latest printer driver for this printer from HP, but it does not seem to solve the problem.
Thanks.

There was just an update of HP printer drivers the other day.

Printing Problem with HP LaserJet 1022 and OS 10.4

I am having a problem printing one page of a document on my HP LaserJet 1022 with OS 10.4. All other documents seem to be printing fine, but when I try to print one particular page of a 90 page WORD doc, that page consistently comes out with a big black streak across it and it does something to the printer because all the lights start flashing.
I have powered off, unplugged, reset the printer subsystem, reinstalled the printer driver, and even tried to print on my laptop, and the same thing keeps happening. The document printed for me fine a few weeks ago.
Any suggestions on a work-around for this or a permanent solution? I really need to print this page on my printer ASAP. Thank you.

The page looks perfect in preview and as a PDF. I can't print from the PDF, however, because it shrinks the text and expands the margins ...
Something's fishy. Save as PDF should result a file that looks exactly, precisely, like what you'd get if you printed directly to your printer.
I suspect your Word document has been corrupted by a few bytes of random data that is causing your printer to go nuts. Try cutting that portion out of the document, and pasting it in a new blank document so you can incrementally isolate the damage.
This isn't going to be as easy as it sounds, because when the PostScript printer driver encounters the errant code in the Word document, it's essentially telling the printer "now, go to the top of this page, print a nasty black smudge, and then crash." You might have to cut a whole page before and after the suspected corruption. If you're lucky you might be able to cut the portion then paste it right back as "unformatted text". Try that.

We should all be so fortunate. Word does use the standard OS X Print dialog though.

Printing interrupted (with HP LaserJet 1022)

Hello,
I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Since doing so, my printer (a HP LaserJet 1022, bought with my Mac from Apple) has been working only intermittently.
If I print a document, from any application, of more than one page, it'll only print the odd pages and will stop some way through printing those odd pages and the lights on the top of the printer will start flashing red. (I have checked the settings and they're set to print all pages, not just the odd ones.) The only way to move on is to switch the printer off and on again.
This means that 1) I can only print one page at a time and 2) that every few pages or so, I have to switch the printer off and back on.
Does anyone know what's going wrong or what I can do to fix the problem? I thought the SL installer updated my printer driver.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Jonathan.

HP has simply abandoned the 1022 printer on Snow Leopard. For a time there was a HP software engineer posting here, gathering information from users, advising us that they were working on the 1022 driver. He even sent a beta driver to several people with specific problems. Then he suddenly disappeared and we haven't seen or heard from him since. My 1022 works fine with the Snow Leopard supplied driver, except for the manual duplex option which no longer exists. Others report that their 1022 only prints every other page or stops after a couple of pages. There is a very long thread here about the 1022 problems. The HP guy's name was Andrew but, as I said, he vanished. 1022 owners were starting to get testy and frustrated so maybe he just got tired of trying to help.
As for me, I will never buy an HP printer again because of this abandonment.

LaserJet 1022 MAC Snow Leopard 10.6.7

Since upgrading from G5 to Intel iMac I have problems printing on the LaserJet 1022. Other printers work OK.
* After printing, the print queue doesn't clear the printed document.
* Only 1 page prints out of a multi-page Word document.
* After printing a page, the printer lights flash in the sequence TOP & BOTTOM LIGHTS together, then CENTRE LIGHT, then TOP & BOTTOM LIGHTS together etc etc
The only solution seems to be to manually delete the document from the print queue, then turn OFF then ON the printer if its lights are flashing.
Is the software not working?
Has the LaserJet broken down? How?
Is the LaserJet not able to work with OS 10.6.7?
Anyone with thoughts?

Thanks for your reply to my problem. Although your general advice was theoretically correct, the problem appears to be that the latest version of HP’s driver is buggy, so I wasn't able to fix things in the way you suggested--indeed your best endeavours kept me in a loop that didn't work.
I have solved the problem by reinstalling an old HP driver “HP LaserJet 1022 Series OS X Universal Binary Full Solution” and that is HP Version 1.2.0.
As soon as I installed 1.2.0 the printer worked. As soon as I accessed HP Version 1.3.x the problem recurred.
This solution came from a posting on http://automatica.com.au/2011/04/fix-printing-to-the-hp-laserjet-1022-series-under-10-6-snow-leopard...
Automatica also gives a link to HP’s site to download the 1.2.0 drive, which is HP LaserJet 1022 Series OS X Universal Binary Full Solution HP LaserJet 1022 Printer – HP Customer C...

Networked HP Laserjet 1022 only prints one copy at a time!!

Hi, I am using a HP Laserjet 1022 printer connected to a Windows Network. Although the exact driver is not listed I get around using the closest driver in the list. Under Tiger everything was fine, after upgrading to Leopard I can only print one copy of a document at a time. When I put any number of copies in the box only one copy is printed.
Thank you in advance.

read this thread here and my solutions about the 1020.
The driver is also for 1022.
Works great with leopard and 1020, needs to work perfect with leopard and 1022.
Download and do as I describe.

Can't install drivers from HP for laserjet 1022 printer on my new computer with Windows 7.

I have a laserjet 1022. I can't install the HP drivers provided on the HP website onto my new computer. When it asks me to connect the printer, the printer is recognized, however the message continues to say waiting for the connection. I have tried all of the suggestions listed on the forum by both HP and other individuals, including down loading the drivers from other countries. Other attempts when downloading the drivers ends up with a message saying that the download could not be completed. I have tried other USB cables and that doesn't work. I love HP products but I really need help on this one. HELP!

Day Trader

Hello DayTrader,
When you connect the printer and if the message continues to say "Waiting for Connection", please try the below step..
Go to Device Manager, ( to do so , Right click on Computer icon, Select Manage, from the left pance m click on Device Manager , which would display the Device Manager on right pane.)
There should be Yellow bang entries ( Yellow ! mark ) with printer name on it.
Right Click on each of them and select Update Driver.
Select "Browse my Computer for driver software "
Click on Browse button to point to the CD ( if you are using the CD to run the installation ) else copy the path where the drivers have been extracted if you had downloaded it. Usually it will be in folder with name starting 7z... under TEMP folder .
Then Click Next button .

Can't print from HP Win 7 64bit notebook to laserjet 1022 via wireless router

I've been able to always print from an XP notebook, but now I can't print from an HP Win 7 64 bit notebook to a Laserjet 1022 installed on an XP desktop via wireless router. Looking for a driver that I can't find anywhere. Followed all the forum help instructions that looked like it would work to no avail. Doesn't seem to be a Win 7 64 bit driver for the 1022 model, (not 1022n).

Not printing: AEX + Win XP + HP LaserJET 1022

Hello all
I have received a great deal of information from browsing these forums before, but I'm a first-timer when it comes to questions.
I have two laptops connected to an Airport Express. The first is a Powerbook G4, the second is a Sony Vaio running Win XP Pro. I have a HP LaserJet 1022 connected via USB to the Airport Express. My problem, in short, is that I can't print to the HP 1022 from the Sony Vaio.
It may help if I tell you what does work (which is almost everything). Both computers talk to the AEX fine, and are connected to the internet through it fine. The Powerbook prints to the HP 1022 fine as well (both directly and when it is connected to the AEX). The Sony Vaio prints to the HP 1022 when it is directly connected, but not when it is connected to the AEX.
I have followed the instructions in the AEX handbook: creating a new port, adding a printer, etc. Creating the printer seems fine, but printing to it doesn't.
Is there anything that anyone can suggest pls?
Many thanks in advance,
AndrewL

Hp laserjet printer pro m1217 print file was not accepted Mac

Hi
I connected my printer wirelessly via Bonjour. It is connected but for some reason doesn't print, giving me an error message: "print file was not accepted."
Any help is greatly appreciated.
David

Hi Djcain
I understand your HP Laserjet m1217 is setup wirelessly but wont print from the the mac and you are getting a error message "print file was not accepted".
If your are using 10.8 then make sure when you added the driver you added the printer name m1217 and not the airprint driver that is preinstalled on the mac.
Please provide the Mac operating system you are on for further assistance.

Cannot install driver for HP Laserjet 1022 Printer.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. When I attempt to install the driver for the HP Laserjet 1022 Printer, although the software recognized that the printer existed (ergo must be plugged into the computer), I keep getting the message that installation is being held up until I connect the printer to the computer. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi mtnkeena2,
Use a different USB cable to see if the computer can then see the printer.

Hp laserjet 1022 = this printer is not supported under windows 7 shares?

hp laserjet 1022 => this printer is not supported under windows 7 shares?

Yes I understand, but this printer is not installed on a network share. Always remain sown printing in the print queue. Consequently, I ask if you can type HP 1022 printer in Windows 7 share?

Hp laserjet 1022 windows 7 (64 bit) won't install printer, what can i do?

1. HP LaserJet 1022 Printer
2. Windows 7 64-bit
3. No Error Message
4. The only changes made to the system are security upgrades from Windows Updater. This is a new computer and the old one was running XP.
I have tried removing the printer, downloading newer software (lj1020-HB-pnp-WIN64-en) and trying to install it, adding the printer through windows and still the printer will not work. The cd version will run until it asks you to plug in the printer and then nothing happens. I even tried leaving it running overnight to see if it would find it and install, but nothing happened. This printer is a workhorse for me and I would like to keep it running, any suggestions on getting this printer recognized and running again?

HP LaserJet 1022 Printing Problems - Please Post Here

Sorry, I hate to create a new thread, but tracking so many different threads on this one issue is becoming problematic for me. So with that being said, if you are still having a problem with printing to a LaserJet 1022 after the full uninstall I detailed in the FAQ thread followed by installing version 2.2 of the HP driver package, then let me know here. And specifically I want to know is which device you have, how your device is connected, the print driver version, and what apps are giving you problems. In my own personal testing, here is what I have found:
USB direct connect - OK, I have yet to run into a problem here.
USB connected to an Airport Extreme N - OK, I have yet to run into a problem here.
USB connected to an Airport Express G - Paused problem. I got print job/page out and then the printer paused and would not resume. I don't have a functioning work around here yet, but I'm trying.
So if I were going to fill out my own form, it would look like this:
Printer: LaserJet 1022n
Connection: USB connected to an Airport Express G (Firmware version 6.3)
Driver Version: 1.1.0.182
Apps: All
Problem Description: Printer queue goes into a Paused mode and won't resume
And to get you started, I have left a blank template at the end of this post.
Also please make sure to include whether you have the 1022, 1022n, or 1022nw AND how it is connected to your Mac. If users of the 1020, what to chime in on this thread that is OK. Anyone else, please post in the FAQ thread or a different device specific thread. As the 1022 seems to be the most problematic at the moment, I'd like to track this down as quickly as possible.
Just trying to help.
Andrew

Hp laserjet 1022 printing problems

Hi,
I use at my office a HP laserjet 1022 printer. Is used in a wireless router.
I have a problem with printing:
When i print a document from Google Docs, after the document was printed, the printer comes offline and all 3 leds start to flash. This flashing repairs only if i restart the printer.
When i print from my mac, all works good, other sites also works. The problem is, i use google docs for my work, so i cant exclude this.
I use a MPB mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed.
Anybody can help me?
Many thanks,
Regards,
szabomatrix

Hello Szabomatrix,
Thanks for the post. I ran across this thread that may address this issue. Just curious, with your case, do you experience these symptoms when printing PDF's/Adobe? Good Luck!
