Yeah, I know. I have tried getting that to work more than once without luck :(

I also emailed HP and got a reply saying that they didn't support that printer in Linux :(

I have fedora core 3 and I cannot get the damn hp 1020 printer to work either. I tried instructions at http://support.ideainformatica.com/hplj1020/
and downloaded the driver but after printing (blurry on US Letter) once the printer started blinking and fedora claimed that the USB port was busy.
Even after rebooting I haven't been able to install this printer.
I am willing to upgrate to fedora core 4 just so that I can use this printer however I am not sure if it is supported in fedora core 4 either.
i even tried the hp software that is sourceforge and that did not work either.
if someone knows a solution to this, please let us know.
Despite all that I love about linux, I hate the tremendous time waste that goes into taking care of these trivial issues.

I got it working recently on my Kubuntu install :)

I just followed this guide:

It's for Ubuntu, but I think there is a resonable chance you should be able to get it to work on fedora too :)
