HP LaserJet 1020 Driver for M4
Hi! I have older printer HP LaserJet 1020 and I can't find drivers for Mac M4 15.4. Do You have any solution or remedy for this problem?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.4
Question marked as
HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update - Apple Support
Earlier reports indicate that an HP LaserJet 1022 driver from this package can be used with an HP LaserJet 1020 printer as well. However, it says Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer for the package in question. The problem seems to be that the installation is prevented with newer macOS versions, while the underlying driver as such appears to be OK. Various download modifications have been suggested for P1005, 1020, and other models (community search), but the success rate is somewhat unclear.
If a compatible HP driver for macOS 15 cannot be found, or if another software solution is not possible, you may have to look for a workaround.
Linux drivers are available.

If nothing else helps, you may want to investigate whether a small and relatively inexpensive Linux-based Raspberry Pi print server and CUPS could make a USB-connected HP LaserJet 1020 act as if it were an AirPrint printer, in order to allow network printing from a modern Mac or an iPhone/iPad. Look upon this as an experiment.
Details about how to set up such a Raspberry Pi print server can be found in the posts by Techguyuk in Can’t print with iPadOS17 - Apple Community.
Tesserax reported about using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ for an old HP LaserJet printer (in Can I connect my laser printer to my netw… - Apple Community).
