My printer not working with OS Windows 7 - HP LaserJet 1020 Printer

What OS do you have? Please add the update version for Windows 10. The drivers are still available from Canon here: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/i-series/i9900?tab=drivers_downloads for supported OS versions. It looks like the printer used Windows Update for to install most of the drivers under Windows 7. There is an optional update for the driver on the site but it doesn't work unless Windows Update installed the basic driver. The Canon didn't officially support the printer for any OS after Windows 7.

The Windows 7 driver worked under 8 (8.1) and some versions of Windows 10 for a while. (Under Windows 8, the ZoomBrowser software didn't work.) Then Microsoft became strict about not allowing unsigned drivers to install. The easiest solution is to find an old Windows 7 computer to connect to the printer. Alternatively, get an unused install license and build a virtual machine to connect to the printer. Note: recent cumulative updates for Windows 10 have caused issues with USB printers.

If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, try connecting the printer via the USB port with the machine off. The restart the computer; make sure that the Windows Update is set to find updates for other devices (not just Windows). If you are using the printer over a network, some found using the Canon ProMark 9000 series drivers worked.

I hope these ideas help. I wish that I had better news for you about Canon support.

(Building a virtual machine OS depends on your CPU allowing virtualization and free memory. You also need the Windows Pro or Enterprise versions of the OS for Hyper-V (Windows 10) or the Windows 8 VM equivalent. Third-party tools for creating a virtual machine may work on the home edition.)

HP's site shows driver downloads for OS 8, OS 9 and Windows XP 64-bit. Unless the Windows driver will work with Windows 7 (unlikely) or Windows 7 already supports it, you're going to have to replace your old Deskwriter. There isn't anything you can do otherwise.

This is the same kind of problem many people faced when XP was new. Since the operating system was so different, much older software and hardware was no longer compatible. Some hardware makers came out with updated drivers, but others didn't. Either their hardware wouldn't work at all with the new OS or they figured that it wasn't worth the time for a low-cost item (especially true for printers).

Incompatible types and version of printer drivers when installed in Windows 7 can cause issues which might hinder the installation process thereby causing the installed drivers to become corrupt. The users of Windows 7 are therefore advised to verify the version and type of printer drivers before the installation and install only those drivers that are fully compatible with the Windows OS on the system to avoid these kinds of issues.

Go on HP web site and look for the driver that will work with windows 7 or get a new printer that says it works with the new windows 7 or downgrade back to an OS you know that works with your printer.

Use the XP/2000 driver on Windows 7 32bit, it doesn't work with the 64bit OS. If you have the 64bit OS, you can try and install the driver in compatibility mode.
