[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1869794, member: 175845"] OK. See my edit post above that I just added before yours. But something doesn't make sense. And I must say, the hp site is almost impossible to get some accurate information from, especially if one is using an older mac os version they don't even list as I am doing!!! I would try downloading and using [I][B]Gutenprint software[/B][/I] as it apparently supports the hp 1020 when running Big Sur. [URL unfurl="true"]http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/[/URL] EDIT (2:57pm PST): [USER=63275] [QUOTE]vn268[/USER] User level:Level 1 (19 points) Answer:A: Gutenprint works for the LaserJet 1012 on Big Sur. I had the same problem after upgrading, and love the 1012 printer - have no interest in getting a new printer. Download from here: [URL]https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/[/URL] Install, and then delete your printer in the Printers and Scanners preferences and re-add it. Under "Use:" in the Add Printer dialog, click the drop down menu and instead of selecting the HP driver (chosen by default), pick the Gutenprint 1012 driver. Click accept to the warning that appears (noting that it is not a manufacturer provided driver). Print a test page to confirm and you'll find it works perfectly.
