Hi Fellow MACers, so here's the latest as of 10/31/2011. I just purchased a MacBookPro O/S Lion and tried to add it to a small business network running Windows XP and an HP 1200n BusinessJet. After 4 or 5 hours on the phone with MyApple Support and the HP Business Support, the most recent HP printer drivers update for LION will not work for any HP printer with a model number lower than 2500. HP will no longer support any of their printers with a model number smaller than 2500 for LION. So, if HP decided not to support my small business, then I have decided not to support HP. I just purchased a new Brother MFC-J6710DW and tossed my HP in the garbage. The Brother is wireless and operates on both Windows XP and Lion O/S with full support for both systems. HP has made some poor business decisions. Maybe Meg Whitman can help fix things there. Sadly, it"s too late for me. I'm a Brother customer now.
I had the same problem. I've thought the printer was dead.
What I've done is to throw in the rubbish and uninstall every things who was associated with HP: Users/(your name)/Library/Printers and Macintosh HD/Library/Printers. The only thing you must to keep is the PPDs file. After this, go to System Preference/Print & Scan. Click on the HP printer and click on "–" to leave it blank. Then, install the original driver for your printer, MAC OS X will recognize your printer (just go again in System Preference after the installation and you will see your printer). After this of course, you should never install again the Apple HP Printer Drivers. Hope this gonna help you.
My HP Laserjet 1022 does not work properly and has not been working properly since 10.6 now we are at 10.7 and I still don't have any working drivers for this otherwise fully functional and working machine.
Apple / HP, whoever is organizing this: Please give the coder guys in korea a call and let them write decent drivers for the HP LJ 1022.
Thanks!
P.S.: Or is this intended? You want me to buys a new printer? Ok then, well it's not gonna be an HP printer this time.
Ironically enough, the only way I am able to get my HP LJ 1018 to work is by using the drivers for the 1022. Go figure. Maybe's worth a shot trying the 1018 drivers… maybe the HP coder guys got 'em mixed up… LOL
Nice job HP! I know it's silly, but I was happy as clam that I finally didn't have any persistent permissions errors in Lion. After installing the latest HP drivers there's now a whole log window with permission errors that say they've been repaired, but even after a restart and repair again the same files keep showing up repeatedly. Well done HP, I commend you on your mediocrity!
The new HP Laserjet 1022 driver is awful. It is very slow when you want to print - it takes almost a minute or two to do copying before trying to print. This is really bad because if your print job is big, it takes forever. The first when it happened I thought MacBook hung - and later only I realize that this is causing the problem.
Total, utter, worthless garbage! This update has made my HP printer utterly useless for anything other than 8x11.5 paper and #10 envelopes. I print to odd sized envelopes regularly and especially at Christmas time, and this update either prints AFTER the envelope has left the printer blank or refuses to print, claiming a paper error due to wrong size! I'm going to have to junk this piece of HP trash and never, ever buy another.
Same issue. I've now installed it five times now. I suspect we all also have installed the "drivers" (i.e. big bloated crapware package - almost 500MB!) for a new HP All-In-One, or something similar. I haven't found a fix yet either, except for telling Software Update to ignore the update.
I really wish Apple would release an update that included these drivers, so that this issue would stop and I could uninstall all that HP junk!
I have tried to install this twice even and after a reboot, with a repair permissions for good measure, each try it never gets passed the final "Running Package Scripts" with about a minute to go. It sits there running 100% CPU with "kextd" as the culprit. Might just be my system but an FYI! I am running 10.6.2 on a MB Pro Core 2 Duo.
UPDATE: I left it alone and after 14 min it FINALLY finished. Not sure what was going on or why it takes 100% of the CPU for 14 min to install a print driver on my system but it's done and an FYI to anyone else that sees this issue.

The installation process is not very good, but it does work for me with Lion 10.7.2

I've tried repairing permission and restarting but that hasn't helped.
Stupid HP.

My Apple macs do not see this HP update, provided by Apple, unless I plug the HP printer into my Apple computer.
