HP1022 drivers for Mac OS 15.3.2

[Clif78]

I need printer drivers for my HP1022 laserjet for my macbook running 15.3.2 - however it says the drivers only support OS 15 or earlier. Is there any solution to this issue?

Hi @Clif78,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

You're right to be frustrated here—trying to use a reliable older printer like the HP LaserJet 1022 with a new MacOS (Sonoma 15.3.2), only to discover that official HP drivers stop at MacOS 15 (or earlier), is disappointing. But the good news is: you do have options, though they require a few workaround steps.

Option 1: Use AirPrint (if detected)

Sometimes, MacOS will recognise the printer as an AirPrint-compatible device over USB or network, even without HP’s driver.

Steps:

1. Connect the printer via USB.
2. Go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners.
3. Click + to add a new printer.
4. If your HP LaserJet 1022 appears and says “AirPrint” under “Use,” select that.
5. Click Add.

⚠️ If it only shows “Generic PCL Printer” or doesn’t appear at all.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
