So, can anyone help me. I upgraded my two computers to OS 12.01. The difference is that one was a clean install. Problem is that I cannot for the life of me get my old HP Laserjet 1020 to work on the clean install machine. I tried copying the driver from the laptop with the same OS but no luck. I spent way too long searching how to hack this but I rarely use Terminal so wasn’t so successful. Does anyone have a suggestion??? I’ve gotten a work around to set the printer on the laptop to be shared on the network but I’d like to print directly from the Desktop.
I take it you tried the straightforward Add Printer steps in System Preferences?
well…of course. This isn’t my first computer!

Might Gutenprint help? I have no sense of what official drivers might be available, or why the various ones like Generic PostScript Printer wouldn’t work.
I’m still very much of the opinion that Monterey is a work in progress. Last night I was using Capture One 21 and tried to import some images from an SD card (using the built in card reader in the new M1 MBP). C1 displayed about a dozen images before freezing. I force quit C1 and opened the card in the Finder to find there were no images available (disturbing given these were photos of my son’s graduation). I tried importing into Photos without success, Pathfinder displayed no images and my favourite photo recovery tool crashed trying to launch.
After restarting the machine I was able to open the card in the Finder, all the images were there, and Capture One was able to import everything normally. I was going to blame C1 for the issue but I can’t get past the Finder/Pathfinder not being able to recognise images on the card.
I also see considerable lags between files copied across servers, disks, devices and iCloud - the machine never seems to be ‘in proper sync’ (if that makes sense). There’s clearly still some issues with Monterey (or APFS) - I just hope there’s some updates coming soon which may help sort them out.
I agree. Monterey is not fully baked yet. Quite a few issues.
Update. I got fed up with 30 minute logins. I read someone who suspected that Monterey problems with SSD drives might be caused by drives formatted HFS+ instead of APFS. Having insufficient faith in Time Machine, I bought a new 2TB SanDisk Extreme SSD, same make and model as my old one, formatted it APFS, and cloned my old home directory onto it. Happily, this fixed the problem completely, either because of the new drive or the new format.

For those members in Australia, has anyone else have problems with viewing the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) radar pages on both Safari and Firefox, on a mbp14? Safari initially displays only the observations if you had previously had any of the ‘Map features’ check boxes selected, I don’t get to see the radar images. If I clear all the check boxes before closing the site, and them selecting the site again the radar images display and the check boxes will now work as normal, until the next time I goes back to the site. Firefox won’t even access the BOM site at all irrespective of turning https on or off. Everything works fine on my iPad (15.2) and other macs not running Monterey.
There is also a problem NT News digital print editions page.
I agree with trilo and tommy it will take a while for things to settle down.
