This issue has been around quite awhile. You can't print PDF's to a LJ 1020. You'll hose your print spooler (the Windows program that is responsible for printing). It's a documented problem. It's so well known that Microsoft has a fix for it. Microsoft isn't the one who should be releasing the fix though. HP knew it was a problem so they should have fixed their driver program. Everyone prints PDFs. It's like a big part of what people print.
Does HP feel so secure in their printer monopoly that they can not issue a needed fix? When you are purchasing a printer, look at all the options. Just because HP is the cheapest option does not mean it's the best. You have to look at customer service and print quality. Look at price per page and how much toner is going to cost.
Just don't print pdfs to a lj1020. If you have one, put a no PDF sign on it to remind yourself never to print pdfs to it.
