Product: HP LaserJet 1020 Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

After some struggling I succeeded in getting my durable HP LaserJet 1020 to work within Windows 11 Pro 24H2!  I had tried earlier, following the instructions that came with the printer, but Win11 did not like the driver disk.
        Then the Windows OS was removed and reinstalled for other reasons. That may have cleaned any debris from the first try. The other evening, on a lark, I opened Windows 11 Settings \ Bluetooth & Devices \ Printers & Scanners \ Add a Printer or Scanner - and clicked the blue "Add Device" button. I do not recall whether I had a USB cable between the Win11 computer and the printer at the time - sorry. Windows offered a list of printer manufacturers, and when I selected HP it gave a long list of HP printers. The 1020 was on the list; I selected that. Windows then prompted me to insert the CD with the drivers. I had that disk, and inserted it. Yup, the original copyright 2005 physical disk. Windows processed that. For some reason the first attempt failed but simply telling it Try Again succeeded. Now the 1020 seems to work fine with this Windows 11 machine. Following other sequences of steps never worked. Good Luck!
