For any HP printer, half your setup work is done, once you download the right drivers. By right drivers, we mean the right software for the printer to run! These drivers are available in the 123 hp com site, or many other third-party sites. If so, why does it become the most difficult part of the entire setup process?
It is because of the two reasons:
1. The internet connection can be a pain in the neck.
2. Users often tend to download irrelevant drivers for their printers.
The relevance of the drivers is supposedly based on two things. The Operating System that you use your printer on, and the model of the printer that you use!
While we talk about printers, please make sure that you check out the compatibility of the HP LaserJet 1020 driver with your Operating Systems. A few printers from the house of HP are not compatible with lower levels of operating systems.
If you are sure that the printer you have bought takes the operating system in your computer, then downloading the drivers shouldn’t be an issue at all!
Before you start downloading the driver, please make sure that the internet connection is available. If you are using wireless internet please make sure that the printer and the computer are connected to the same wireless network!
The next thing to make sure when you start downloading the driver is the operating system in which you plan to use this printer in! There are different drivers available for the same printer, for different operating systems! If you are using a Windows 7 OS, then a Windows 8 driver wouldn’t do any good at all!
The last thing is the model number. In this case, it is HP LaserJet 1020. So, if you know the model number and the operating system version right, then you driver download would be that much easier!
What’s more important is that, there will be frequent updates to the drivers. To enjoy the full software capabilities of your printer, please make sure that the driver the printer uses are up to date. If your drivers become obsolete, then the printer might often throw at you, error messages and you will have to spend more time troubleshooting that printing!
