Then 'whola !' I discovered these drivers upon which I happily got rid of those old pieces of junk and feel quite certain that I will never have to revisit this nonsense ever again.

Out of sheer frustration, I came SOOOOO close today to scrapping my whole updated system in favor of reverting to my OSX 10.5.6 (of which I had absolutely no issues printing at all once I spent a few days finagling and coercing it to work from the previous update) system backup because this time around I just could not get them to work in OSX 10.5.7. In these tough economic times (in case anyone has forgotten), WHY in tarnation should I have to run out and buy a new printer when mine works perfectly fine if/when/ever the system drivers will operate correctly. Of course you can download drivers for windows, linux here. The above trick should also work for HP Laserjet 1020 plus model in Mac. On the HP printers list select HP Laserjet 1022 (not 1020) Once installed print a test page. I grew SOOOOO dag gone sick and tired of having to finagle and coerce the system drivers to work each and every time I updated to the newest version of OSX 10.5 (10.5.7 this time around). Turn on the HP laserjet 1020 printer and connect to your Mac PC through USB cable. I still own/use a very reliable Epson Printer I bought brand new in 1997.
