Problem with HP laserJet 1020 and ibook G4

It won't print! Computer recognize the printer, but it won't print. Seems I'm not the only one experiancing this problem, what can I do?

I read somewhere that the easiest way for Mac users is to use the CD (avail.. from HP website under "support & drivers" - look under HP 1022 (not HP 1020, but you will see that the it will lead you to HP 1020/1022 series drivers)
I am also looking at buying the HP 1020 that so many had raved about, ... checked the HP site and found that it's on sale (??) within the USA and Canada ? Feedback from other 1020 buyers : the driver used to be available on their website, but they had since pulled that from their website.
Have not tried the CD myself, but hope this helps with giving you some lead !!

  • Problem with HP LaserJet 1020

    I had been using my HP LaserJet 1020 on my MacBook for 2 years with no problems, but my hard drive died this week and I had to get it replaced. Now my computer is running on 10.4.11, and no matter what I do, I cannot get the printer to install. I've looked at dozens of threads on various websites and nothing seems to work for this version of Tiger. Can anyone help, PLEASE? Thanks!

    Before you start blaming HP I think it wise to check to see if HP ever intended this machine to run on OS X. Had you bothered to check you would have seen it never was as HP does NOT supply an OS X driver for it therefore they aren't responsible for it working on OS X. This is like blaming Ford when an Explorer sinks in a lake....Ford never intended the Explorer to float and isn't responsible for someone getting into that situation.
    The OP should have known that when he started using the printer, if he ever got it to work on OS X he was very fortunate and should not expect support from HP. My suggestion is prior to buying a printer (or any other perifpheral)due your due dillegence and see if it was ever intended to work with your computer, whether it's OS X, Windows, Linux, Unix or whatever. If you still choose to purchase that perfiferal realize you are swimming on your own with no support from the manufacturer.

  • Problem with HP LaserJet 4L and Leopard

    4L will not print with Leopard except under following circumstances:
    If I unplug the 4L, then replug and reset via Print & Fax preference,
    then, it will print 1 page and stop. Will not print any more until I go through the unplug,replug,reset procedure. Then, I get 1 more page. Etc,etc. The unprinted pages appear in the printer queue. I have used this 4L happily going back through many Mac's to the old Duo. Any ideas?

    I am having a problem with my HP Laserjet 6L. I use PowerPrint's Serial to USB cable. The computer recognizes the driver, but prints garbage. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    With Tiger I used to have the problem where after each print job I would have to unplug the USB cable and plug it into the other USB port. This might be a work around for the other respondants.

  • 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 problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

    My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
    I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

    A post from another threat that might help.

    Solution!!!
    Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
    Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
    I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
    After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
    Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
    Worked like a champ.
    Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

  • Problems with HP Laserjet CM1017 and Windows 8.1

    I have a HP Laserjet CM1017 MFP printer and I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
    Now when I go to Control Panel/Devices and Printers/Adjust Print Options, I get an error message:
    "Function Discovery Print Provider DII has stopped working"
    I also get this message:
    "Function address 0x11272fc8 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005)  The application property sheet page(s) may not funtion properly."
    How do I fix these errors?

    @tenkeypro 
    First, I would suggest you uninstall the exsisting driver and reinstall following one of these documents to see if it will clear this error message:
    Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Universal Print Driver (no scan)
    Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update

  • Scanning problem with HP Laserjet 3050 and Windows 7 64-bit

    I understand that to use the HP 3050 with Windows 7 64-bit I must use the Windows Fax and Scan software.  However, if I try to scan using anything greater than a 200 dpi resolution, the document takes forever!  Any workarounds?
    Also, was doesn't pdf show up as a document type choice?

  • I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

    I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
    Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
    Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

    How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
    I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
    All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
    Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
    I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
    Thank you for your help.

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!

    The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
    I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
    And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more.
