Hi @asprooten,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

The HP LaserJet 1020 is an older printer model and finding native drivers for macOS Sonoma (14.6.1) can be challenging, as HP may not provide official drivers for newer macOS versions. However, you can still try a few methods to get your printer working:

1. Use macOS Built-In Drivers

Connect Your Printer:

• Connect the HP LaserJet 1020 to your Mac via USB.

Add Printer:

• Go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners.
• Click the Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax button.
• Your printer should appear in the list. Select it and add it.

Choose a Driver:

• macOS may automatically select a generic driver. If prompted, select a generic printer driver or the closest match available.

2. Use Generic Printer Driver

If the built-in driver doesn’t work well, you can try a generic PostScript or PCL driver:

Open System Settings:

• Go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners.

Add Printer:

• Click Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax.
• Select “Generic PostScript Printer” or “Generic PCL Printer” from the list of available drivers.

3. Download from Third-Party Sources

Check Third-Party Websites:

• Sometimes third-party websites like OpenPrinting or Gutenprint may have drivers or solutions for older printers.

Download and Install:

• Search for HP LaserJet 1020 or similar models and download any available drivers or utilities.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
