The HP 1010 is a very cheap Windows driven economy printer. Unlike other HP printers is has a lot of features taken out of the hardware and put into the proprietary Windows software driver to save money.

HP printer support is already good on AmigaOS if you use a HP printer which support HPPCL such as the Laserjet 1100 or above.  Avoid the 1000 series.

We use several HP Laserjet printers in our office every day all connected to Amiga computers and they work well. We use the HP Laserjet 5 driver.

The LJ1010 is not a good choice of printer at all.

A HP LJ1100 is a much better choice- it works with the Turboprint HP Laserjet 5 driver and third party toner is around 10 EUR.  You will need a parallel port for it though, we have got it to work on a Classic Amiga with Poseidon, Turboprint and USB to parallel converter.

Other thing is that 1010 can be used on Amiga.
I was not aware that there was any Amiga driver for it.
