Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
To answer your question -- YES, it is compatible with Win10 -- but you must use the HP software and drivers, not the one supplied by Microsoft.
Here is the drivers and software page for your printer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-LaserJet-1020-Printer-series/439423/model/3329726
You need to download and install the Full Feature Software and Drivers for the printer.
Remove any drivers and software that Microsoft installed for the printer.
Then, disconnect the printer and install the software.
Do not reconnect the printer until the installer prompts for it.
After the install is done, reboot.
You should then be able to use your printer in Win10.
Good Luck

I cannot thank you enough for this solution! I was tearing my hair out trying to get my 1020 to work, and this did the trick. It's a generous act for someone to take the time to help those of us who are technologically-challenged, and I am grateful. Little things like this mean a lot. Now I can finish planning my courses for the upcoming semester without fretting about how to print my syllabi and other course materials at home!
