Hp Laserjet 1018 Vs 1020 Driver
Christal Rasband
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).

Yesterday I installed Big Sur on My MacBook Pro 2017. At work is an old HP Laserjet 1020 printer. I installed the printer driver package from the Apple website on Catalina to work. You won't be able to install it on this version. Not support.
it is simple just plug-in your printer through wire and then go to >printer and scanner in system preferences and click on add printer then select your usb printer> then just select your printer driver from Use menu and install and print
It may be an option in Recovery - check it out by restarting holding down cmd + R as soon as the boot up starts. Look at OS update and see if Catalina is offered. You can search for Catalina there too.
Just to be clear, a Wi-Fi-to-USB print server does not per se eliminate the need for a printer driver. What it does is to allow the printer to be placed more freely, at a distance from the router and computer, without the need for cables.
If one wishes to print without a driver, a printer supporting the driverless AirPrint technology would be needed, or one would have to use a special AirPrint print server. The latter would allow a "normal" printer to act as if it were an AirPrint printer. However, such AirPrint servers are expensive, and may be limited to printers with a certain interface. Also, even AirPrint servers may have some limitations regarding supported printer models.
If you have not done so already, take another look at Apple's download page =en_US . It has a new title, HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS, and a new date (Dec 11, 2020). I guess that this is the update that DmitrievSlavkin was referring to. You may want to check whether it would change anything for your printer.
Thanks so much for your message, Jan. I returned to the page and found there's a new driver for the HP LaserJet 1022. The one I found before was the v5.1., which didn't work. Anyway I decided to try again and downloaded it. It turned out to be a new driver with the number 1.6.1. and, after the usual installation process, voil! It worked and the 1022 was in the list! So, at least for me, the problem has been solved and my old 1020 is working perfectly. Went to this page: =en_US As stated above it actually says the drive is v5.1; however, it downloaded the 1.1.6. So, my recommendation is to go the link and try your luck again.
Hi, there's a lot of useful information above which has helped a lot of users. I'll repeat what worked for me. Here's the message from Jan Hedlund that helped me solve the problem and my reply. I hope this also works for you.
On Big Sur (M1 or Intel), you can extract the files you need from the HP Printer Drivers 5.1 package from Apple to install the driver for the HP Laserjet 1018-1020-1022 without the need to run the installer.
Once you've expanded the first PKG file, you'll get another folder with the same file (HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg), run the same command on this file, and it'll give you all the files you need. You can copy these into your /Library/Printers/ folder.
I have uploaded the HP Printer Drivers for the Laserjet 1018-1020-1022 here, which is a much smaller download and cuts out all the stuff you don't need. When dragging these to the /Library/Printers/ folder and trying to add the printer in System Preferences, you may get a message that the printer drivers need repairing in order to make the printer work. Press OK and there you go, you're ready to print!
It is not possible to rule out software conflicts when testing printer drivers, and data may be lost. So, first of all, make sure that you have at least three backup copies of important files (photos, etc.).
If necessary, an IBM information page ( -printers-hp) has further details about the HP LaserJet 1015 printer language/data stream. This printer appears to be somewhat different from the other LaserJet 1010 series models.
You could perhaps check whether a generic PCL driver can be used. I noticed that there is an HP LaserJet 1015 Gutenprint driver as well. This would be experimental. Other experiments may include using the LaserJet 1015 as a shared USB printer in connection with an old Linux (Ubuntu) PC as a CUPS print server. Alternatively, with a Raspberry Pi. There are Linux drivers for the LaserJet 1015 from HP ( -linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index).
Sadly, this does not work for me in Catalina. Hmmm... Does anyone have a website where we can download drivers that actually work? Also, why does it work for some and not for others. Buying a new MBP and upgrading to Catalina has killed my ability to use my handy dandy HP 1020 - a workhorse for the ages. I need to use this printer so badly. If anyone out there can help, I'd be so grateful. This single issue is causing me not to upgrade in the future to any Mac products. It's such a simple issue. Apple should support this printer! Here the message I get.
Thanks for the tip but when I do that I only get the possibility of choosing one printer in the Laserjet series: that's the Series HP Laserjet PCL 4/5. Tried that but it didn't work. Does anyone know a reliable site I can download the 1022 driver?
I've got an HP Laserjet 1018 that works just fine on Windows Vista 64-bit. I just built a new PC and put Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit onto it. The drivers on the HP support site don't work. When I try printing something, it gets sent to the printer and just disappears. I pause printing to see that the document actually does get sent to the printer and it shows up. As soon as I un-pause the printer, the document disappears, but nothing prints. Normally, when something is sent to the printer, the yellow "information" LED lights up momentarily and the document then prints. The LED does not light up at all. I have tried new cables, uninstalling and re-installing, etc. Nothing works. Just to be sure that it isn't a general printing problem, I hooked up a Laserjet 1020 onto the new machine and it works just fine. However, that's my work printer and I can't leave it on the new computer which is a personal computer for my home. This worked to identify that my copy of Windows 7 can indeed print, but this cannot be a long-term solution. Help?
Thanks for the post. On this one, I have a couple of ideas. I've pasted the links below. One is for the Win7/64 driver page and the print diagnostic utility. I would certainly recommend the utility to help narrow down the issue. The other is a queue related document which has some excellent information. Good Luck!
I tried to download the drivers and software from HP site. I have an HP 2009m desktop. the download goes through fine, but when asked for install, it tells me my laserjet1018 is not plugged in and is waiting for me to plug it in. I have tried different cords, different USP ports, turning it off and turning it back on, nothing is working any help given would be appreciated. SIDENOTE* I do have the printer installed on a toshiba laptop, but I do not know how to access the driver/software so I can copy it to a flash and put it on the desktop. any suggestions would be helpful
Thanks for the post. Hmmm, this one is being difficult eh? At first glance, I would agree with you, either the USB cable or the USB port on your desktop system, but since you tried both let's check the below link for some excellent t-shooting steps. Good Luck!
foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the HP LaserJet 1020 or HP LaserJet Pro M12a/M12w or HP LaserJet Pro 1102 or HP LaserJet Pro 1018.
I used these following steps. Installed hplip 3.23.3.run. When I tried printer set up it asked additional drivers. I opened hp.com web page. I clicked on hplip-3.23.3-plugin.run, it opened the page. I saved it using ctrl+ s in a directory. It saved as hplip-3.23.3-plugin.run. I ran hp-setup and set the path to this directory. Printer started working for me. Please try this.
