Hi @V254,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but as of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, there is no official release of macOS labeled as "Tahoe 26.2." You might be referring to a future macOS version or a custom OS build that's not widely recognized. However, if you have issues installing the HP LaserJet 1020 printer on a currently recognized macOS, you might find the following general approach helpful:
 

Setting Up HP LaserJet 1020 on a Mac

Check for Compatibility and Driver Availability:
 

• Visit the HP Software and Driver Downloads webpage and search for your printer model and macOS version to check driver availability.

Use AirPrint or Basic Driver:
 

• If the specific driver is unavailable, you can try using macOS’s built-in printer drivers. Some HP printers are compatible with AirPrint, allowing you to print directly from your Mac without any additional software.

Connecting Your Printer:
 

• Use a USB cable to connect your HP LaserJet 1020 directly to the Mac.
• If the macOS recognizes the printer, it may automatically add it. Go to "System Preferences" > "Printers & Scanners" to see if your printer appears there.

Add the Printer Manually:
 

• If the printer doesn’t appear automatically, you can try adding it manually by clicking the "+" button in the "Printers & Scanners" preferences and choosing the printer from the list.

Printing and Scanning:
 

• For printing, once the printer is recognized, you can print directly from any application by selecting "Print" from the menu and choosing your printer.
  
  
  I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
