For some marketing reason the HP does not provide any support for this printer. It is possible to make it work using the foomatic but it is a pain and suffer. Thanks to this guy a way to make it run using the native HP drivers was found. Unfortunately a lot of people report about the problems finding the right 1022 printer driver as for some reason after doing all possible updates the only driver for 1022 in the system is the one from Guteprint. Same thing happened to me. A workaround is to download the driver update bundle directly from the Apple's support website. Finally the procedure of installing the support for the printer is as following:
1. Download the HP Printer Drivers v.2.4.1 for Mac OS X v10.6
2. Connect the printer and turn it on.
3. Add a new printer selecting the HP LaserJet 1022 driver (version 1.3.0.261)
Then the printer should start working well.
