Check the yellow toner cartridge, printing a configuration page.

Configuration page
The Configuration page lists the current settings and properties of the printer. You can print a
Configuration page from the printer or HP Toolbox. To print the Configuration page from the printer,
complete the following steps.
1 Press the (LEFT ARROW) or the (RIGHT ARROW) buttons to select the Reports menu.
2 Press the button (SELECT).
3 Press the (LEFT ARROW) or the (RIGHT ARROW) buttons to select Config report.
4 Press the button (SELECT) to print the Configuration page.

Yellow print OK?
No? try print with another yellow toner cartridge (Q6002A).

You can find the user's guide here which lists all the parts and supplies. Here's the cartridge information from the manual:

• HP Color LaserJet black print cartridge Standard black cartridge CE260A
• HP Color LaserJet black print cartridge High-capacity black cartridge for CLJ4525 models only CE260X
• HP Color LaserJet cyan print cartridge Cyan cartridge CE261A
• HP Color LaserJet yellow print cartridge Yellow cartridge CE262A
• HP Color LaserJet magenta print cartridge Magenta cartridge CE263A

You can use the HP numbers to look for original or after-market replacements.

Unfortunately laser printers don't work this way. The laserjet 1022 was designed for black and white prints only. In order to do color printing with a laser printer you will need to purchase one that is designed to print in color. The laser printers work a bit differently than the inkjets - the laser printers have 4 toner cartridges, one each for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, that work together to print a full color page. With the old inkjets you could just replace a black cartridge with a color one.

So, short answer: Sorry but no you can't make a laserjet 1022 print in color. :)

I would recommend looking at an entry level color laser printer from hp, such as the CP2025 (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF25a/18972-18972-3328060-15077-236268-3673580.html) if you are looking into purchasing a color laserjet.

Hope this helps

If you need more help come back.Post / thumbs / testimonial are welcome!

Follow each of these steps until the problem is resolved:

Print a printer self-test by holding the power button down with a pencil and opening and closing the top cover four times.
Check the nozzle self-test pattern in the self-test print out. If one or more of the solid rectangular areas are missing, an electrical contact problem may be present.
Remove and then reinsert the print cartridge(s) into the printer.
Print the document.
If the problem persists, follow the steps listed above for cleaning the print cartridges and print cartridge cradle.
Try printing again. If the problem continues, replace the print cartridges.

It's possible that the toner in the cartridge is not evenly distributed. You can redistribute toner if you gently shake the cartridge from side to side, then reinstall it to see if this affects performance. Please also see this article.
You might wish to use the guided troubleshooting option available from HP support here. Or have a look at the troubleshooting section in the user manual here. Then clean the engine & calibrate the printer, as described pg. 88.
If that's no help, please see this forum post and the linked attachments within.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

sounds lke your yellow nozzle not working properly...had same issue on lexmark printer, ended up geting this epson...learnt from my mistakes...perhaps it ran dry? or you left the yellow cartridge out longer than the rest....only you might know what happened

I recently spent six hours troubleshooting the exact same problem (swapping all kinds of parts and motors) except with mine only the yellow would print and one time the print came out correctly. If you know how to take the machine apart, this has to do with the carousel drive motor positioning solenoid. The solenoid has a pad that is a silencer for the solenoid are the starts to deteriorate and "sticks". You could fix this (with electrical tape over the pad) or replace the solenoid. Either way, you need to get to the part.
