Re: Hp Laserjet 1018 Driver Mac Os Catalina
Hien Mondesir
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.
thanx brother ur answer was really helpful only one thing i need to add for HP LaserJet 1018 owners that in the given drivers package there are no drivers for HP LJ1018 but 1022 exists u can use them insted of 1018
Thank You
I have upgraded the operating system to macOS Big Sur and the HP 1018 printer does not work anymore. I deleted the printer's driver to reinstall but now I cannot find the driver. Is there any solution to this problem?
You say you can not find the driver. Do you mean that it is not available on the HP web site? You have not provided the full printer name, so I am unable to determine if a current driver is available. The site does show a number of "1018" types printers, so I assume that one may exist for your printer. Please visit the HP site and look more closely. Enter the full specific name of your printer to access the correct driver. Then, when you download the correct driver, your printer should work again.
If necessary, you may want to try an HP LaserJet 1022 driver (version 1.6.1) from the (Post Date:Dec 11, 2020) HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS package at =en_US . Choose the 1022 in the Use: field when adding. Look upon this as an experiment. It may not work with your computer and macOS Big Sur. Make sure that you have backup copies of important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before carrying out any tests.
Cannot print. Apple could not get a current driver from their web site that works. They suggested I try the HP website but cannot locate the driver I require to connect my printer to the USB port on the iMac.
I have the HP 1018 Laserjet Printer and followed the instructions exactly as shown downloading the HP Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X from the link your provided but when I clicked on the Select Software and typed 1022 in the search field, the 1022 software was not listed. I am running OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite. Any ideas why it isn't listed?
During the 2000's and early '10's I worked in various IT departments. I still experience a small shiver down my spine and get a twitch in my eye when reminiscing about my days in corporate IT trying to give various network service support to my macOS clients in a Microsoft Windows-dominated world.
While most services on macOS had analogues for their Windows counterparts, printing on the big copier/printer/scanner machines proved much more tasking. Sure postscript might work depending on the copier (and that thanks was owed to CUPS from the open source world) but for our very few Mac users, printing onto machines designed to only work for Windows clients (our CFO found them to be much cheaper) was quite trying. But we managed it, and that's because regardless of what special features or doodads a printer may have, the underlying mechanism and functions are all the same. It's using this same principle that just might help you get your printer to work under macOS.
Today with AirPrint and more ubiquitous macOS support you can just about print to any printer you can buy on the market. However, there still exist some printers that support Windows only clients. I for example have an older HP 1018 printer of which there is no official macOS support. But fret not! You just might be able to find a printer driver that is "close enough" for your printer to make it recognized on macOS. Here's how I got my HP 1018 laserjet printer to work.
Luckily for us, HP tends to name it's various printers with similar feature sets with similar model numbers. So, for example, since I have an HP laserjet 1018 printer, I know that a similarly named HP laserjet like the HP laserjet 1010 or the HP laserjet 1022 may share some features with my 1018. So we try to find a best match by iteration until we get the features we absolutely want to work. Note that you may just only get printing working but extra features like duplexing or scanning might not function. But at least you can print. These instructions assume your printer is powered up and connected as expected by the manufacturer.
As with any hack, success with this "close enough" strategy will vary by printer and by manufacturer. I also have to live with ignoring some the of the options that come with the 1022 that don't exist on my 1018 in the print dialogs when I print something. No matter. Working printer. Or, you can just buy a Mac supported printer like the HP laserjet 1022. What about you? Have a hack or tweak you want to mention? Lets know in the comments!
Estoy tratando de instalar una impresora HP LajerJet 1018 en una IMac con sistema operativo macOS Sierra y no consigo los driver. Me comuniqu con el soporte de Apple y no los tienen justo para eso modelo. Tampoco aparece entre los disponibles en el sitio de HP. Alguien lo tiene? Si no lo tienen, es posible usar el driver de otro modelo de impresora HP que le funcione? Gracias!
Puedes probar la siguiente solucin alternativa y verificar si puede funcionar, de lo contrario necesitaras una impresora que sea compatible con el sistema de la computadora.
Descara e instala el siguiente paquete de controladores:
