Drivers for HP Laserjet 1022n printer

Thats a nice idea but you would still need print drivers for the Windows 7 machine even though it a shared printer on a XP machine.

My advice is when installing the printer, click the Windows Update button and let Windows re-populate the list of printers. You would be surprised at how many extra printers will be listed afterward. I personally know HP printers as far back as 1995 can be installed to work on 64-bit Windows 7.

Thanks LeVulgarisateur, often when people find something that works they forget to re-post and tell everyone. This one works great! Cheers

I tried several of the suggestions, including that of LeVulgarisateur, alas the installation ;process stalls b/c the printer is not recognized. Haved tried different usb ports without success.
suggestions?

If you have a printer connected over a network (wireless or TCP/IP), then please try the following:

Drivers for HP Laserjet 1022n printer

This solution relies upon the PCL and/or PS functionality of the device. The good news is that it uses only drivers bundled with Windows (or on Windows Update), and does not include many of the "helper" programs that HP includes.

The bad news is I've not tested it for direct USB connection (try it and report?), and if you like the "helper" programs, you won't get them.

Hope this helps, and please let us know the printer model and OS (32-bit? 64-bit?) you are using when you post again.

Tried your fix Henry, but it doesnt find the printer, ever! (your step #5).
So I tried to just enter IP adress, still wont find it, even though it is the correct address, and my other computers running XP and vista over the router have that IP adress for the printer. Tried to install with HPLJ6 and LJ4plus drivers, still doesnt recognize it.
I then installed drivers for vista64. This worked for USB connection to printer, but not via the network (yes, I used network drivers to try as well).
The cable itself is fine. The router is fine. No matter what I do, it doesnt recognize it as a network printer.
Happy to hear other suggestions.
thanks.

Is it possible that some of the settings in the advanced connectivity menus need to change?

Install HP LaserJet 1022n on Windows 7
(You DONT have to connect it to USB)

• Download LaserJet 1022n driver from HP

32 bit - lj1020-HB-pnp-win32-en
64 bit - lj1020-HB-pnp-win64-en

• Run your downloaded driver

HP driver install window opens asking you to connect the USB cable

• CANCEL installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: This extracts the needed driver to your Hard Drive. Your driver will be extracted to folder:
(64 bit) C:\Program Files\HP\HP LaserJet 1020 Driver
(32 bit) C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP LaserJet 1020 Driver

• Add your printer manually - START > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer
• Add a Local Printer > Create a new port > Standard TCP/IP Port > NEXT
• Enter the IP address > NEXT

If you dont know the IP, have you 1022n ON, hold the diamond shaped button down for 10 seconds. A configuration page will print with the IP on it .

• "Install a printer Driver" screen opens, click HAVE DISK
• Browse to the folder where your driver was extracted (shown above)
• Choose the "HPLJ1020" file > OPEN > OK > NEXT
• Select your printer name > NEXT > FINISH

Very helpful. That worked for the computer which is 'hardwired' to the router.
Didnt work for the other computer (windows 7, 64-bit) which is wireless.
Should I instead try to add as a network printer instead of a local printer?
Thanks again.

Try installing as a local printer first (printer does not need to be connected). This installs the drivers needed for the printer to be correctly installed later as a network printer.

got it. thanks again.
