Re: Laserjet 1018 Driver Download
Madelyn Grindel
My last laptop was also Windows 10 (also Home, 64-bit) and the printer worked fine, and drivers were available. I still have that laptop, and it can print still using the installed drivers (version 2012.918.1.57980). So there shouldn't be any problem with the OS.
However, I can't find a standard driver download from HP. The instructions I find now are to use the in built-in Windows solution, though drivers for a 1018 aren't available there under the manufacturer 'HP', 'Hewlett Packard' or 'Hewlett-Packard'.
I have run HP Easy Start, which recognises the printer correctly, and directs me to HP Smart. HP Smart, however, cannot find my printer. HP Smart comes up with the error 'printer not connected by USB', yet devices and printers shows it as 'unspecified'.
HP Print and Scan Doctor also recognises my printer, and tells me that I need the installer for the full software solutions, and directs me to a web page that tells me to use the built-in Windows solution (which lacks anything for a 1018).
Its work, because dont have much diference. To windows 10, dont exist driver in HP site. It is recommended to plug usb and wait windows update install driver, but some times the windows 10 cant do it.
To install the HP 1018 printer with High Sierra I downloaded the file "HewletPackardPrinterDrivers5.1.dmg" from the Apple website (here: =en_US), I installed the software that was inside and then I installed the "HP LaserJet 1018" printer (which appeared among the printers connected via USB) using the "HP Laserjet 1022, 1.6.1" printer driver (shown among the drivers available after installation of the aforementioned software).

I have Ubuntu 15.04 and an HP LaserJet 1018 connected by USB. Ubuntu has found drivers and shows that everything is OK. When I send test page to printer it shows that it was handled first and than operation completed but nothing actually happens.
I had a laserjet 1018 from my PC days and wanted to have it work directly with my MacBook Pro. Up until now I used the Laserjet 1018 with VMware fusion to print from a virtual PC running windows XP Pro.
Thanks, worked perfectly. Was convinced I was never going to get use of the 1018 again once I finally removed the Windows PC from my set-up. Had the Mac for three years and spent a lot of time (unsuccessfully) trying to find drivers to use the 1018 with OSX. This workaround was a much appreciated find! Thanks immensely.
p910nd Print Server p910nd is a small printer daemon intended for diskless platforms that does not spool to disk but passes the job directly to the printer. Normally a lpr daemon on a spooling host connects to it with a TCP connection on port 910n...
Great wiki! Followed it to the letter and got my Laserjet 1018 to print successfully from my Asus router w/ OpenWRT. (and the scripty goodness ensures the printer works as soon as it turns on. A master stroke!)
When you select Print on Both Sides (Manually) then send a document, the odd pages are printed in descending order, then a popup appears on the Windows machine telling you to reload the pages. After you confirm, the even pages are printed in ascending order. This option works fine on my old (no longer working) TP-Link print server and of course when the printer is directly hooked up to the Windows machine.
maybe as an alternative - you coul duse 'USB over IP' driver in the openwrt box and on your PC. that would effectvely create a (remote) USB connectin from your PC to the printer. then the printer could send your PC-based printer driver the signal to give you the pop-up message.
Printer settings can find both the HP Laserjet 1018 printer and the CUPS-BRF-Printer but when I try to add either I get the message "Failed to add new printer". Anyone got any ideas as at the moment I am having to boot Lubuntu to print anything.
have you installed hplip in the software center? also cups-pdf ? as a last resort try reinstalling print-manager app in software center . if all is installed , your printers should work. maybe other members can suggest further things for you to try . good luck.
Solus recognizes but does not add? Your are missing driver package. Uninstall/remove BOTH printers. Reboot. Go to repo and install the HP packages. Now add your printer. If it still says "failed" then reboot.
I cannot stress reboot enough?.
If it's still a fail then you still need a driver/plugin.
I chased the 1080 down at HP. They did not have a driver for linux. Instead they offer a hplips package download as a blanket driver...seemed strange to me unless it's only available bundled?
I bought a new laptop (HP Envy 13) with Windows 10. I have a USB printer (HP LaserJet 1018). When I plug it in, it appears as "unknown device" in Devices and Printers. The troubleshooter shows a message:
which hints at that the problem is not in the printer but in Windows 10 USB printing support, which apparently cannot work with USB 3.0 ports. The laptop has only USB 3.0 ports, so apparently it cannot print at all (I did not try other printers).
Looking for Windows 10 drivers on HP website. The printer is listed as supported and Windows 10 driver is in the list, but instead of a link to the driver their site says that I should use the built-in driver already included with the operating system. It has a link to "more information", which finally sends me back to the same page.
Connecting the printer to another computer with Windows 7 (works like a charm), marking it as shared and connecting to it from the Windows 10 laptop via IP. It does see it but asks to install a driver from file (shows a "choose file" dialog without attempting to use the alleged built-in driver), but as I said HP does not provide any driver file for this printer, suggesting to use Windows 10 built-in driver. In the list of known devices that the installer shows (after syncing with Windows Update) there is no 1018 printer.
I connected the printer to another (actually, newer) laptop with Windows 10. Even though that laptop apparently had the same USB 3.0 (or maybe 3.1) ports, after some maybe 10 minutes Windows suddenly said that the printer was ready, and I could print from that laptop.
So on that new laptop where the printer installed on its own, I searched in files *.inf under C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository (including subdirectories) for the string "1018", which is a part of the model name of my printer, HP LaserJet 1018:
Or maybe I copied that directory to some temporal directory on my old laptop, then used the Add New Printer wizard, chose "I have a disk", and pointed the wizard to the .INF file in the copied directory (probably it can be done with right-clicking on the .INF file and choosing Install).
I'm not sure of the exact routine, because the printer was not recognised (as a printer) immediately after installing the driver; also because at one point we tried, without success, to use the originally supplied HP CD/DVD.
I just got a PS310U unit in good working order. Firmware is updated to the version that prevents the server from losing network connectivity. I'm trying to link up my Laserjet 1018 with the device and I'm not getting anywhere. I have Win10 machines in my home network.
Nothing works. The server sees the printer but test page printing, text file printing...nothing works. the printer shows "locally connected" in the server, but when i send a test page from the main system, i get a "printer busy or error" message.
2. When setting up the printer through the print server, even though it was locally connected through the server, it never worked until I selected" enable bidirectional support" in the LOCAL printer instance.
These steps weren't at all obvious to me and it seems I can still print even though I'm selecting the locally installed driver. Somehow, it must be talking to the print server okay. Sharing these steps in case it helps someone else!
