There no driver for windows 7 till mid November.

I have  installed device driver for laserjet 1020 on windwos 7, here is the method for installing driver in windows 7 for laserjet 1020.

1. 1st of all download laserjet 1020 basic printer driver for windows vista. you can down it from this link

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor​y?product=439320&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

2. after downloading driver for vista extract it even exe file with winrar and then go to device manager and then HP laserjet 1020 which is shown as unkown device and right click on it and after that update driver

3.  and after that go to folder where extarct vista driver exe and select it .

note. i did not run exe file.

Thanks for reading. hope it will work for you

Hello I have a question I tried this and it gave me the error saying the Drivers were not there, when I in fact have them there and downloaded.

I tried doing exactly what you did in the video, but where you get the installing driver screen I get windows telling me that it is unable to install the drivers.

Figured out the problem the drivers you linked are 32 bit I have the 64 bit system.

i you are using x64 windows you should download driver of laserjet 1020 for vista 64bit.

i hope your problem will be solved

I have the latest driver (released 11/5/09), x64 bit windows 7, 6 gig ram, an HP pavillion desktop.

The driver is buggy as it crashes my print spooler whenever I print anything over a few paragraphs (in notepad).

Vista drivers (x64) and similar suggestions do NOT solve this  problem. Once again, I can see the printer + can kick off jobs yet large jobs just crash the print spooler.
