Hi,

you probably could be out of luck here, according to

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/unsupported.html

your device is unsupported.

Well, but there is good news, too:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020

says, that it works "mostly" ;-))

Did you follow along those guidelines?
