Hp 1018 printer

Hi all,
triyng to repair an HP Laserjet 1018 printer.
The issue is a constant jam on output, the paper exit the fuser and stops just 3 mm before the sheet is released by the fuser.

Hello @dorarlab,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the paper jam issues you're experiencing with your HP LaserJet 1018 Printer. Now I understand that this issue is occuring when the paper is in the output area of your printer about 3mm before the sheet leaves the fuser area. With that being said, I'm going to have you run through some standard troubleshooting below to resolve this paper feed issue.
To start, can I please have you click here and run through the paper jam troubleshooting steps provided. Please pay close attention to Step six: Clean the cartridge area.
Once troubleshooting has been completed, please test printing again to verify if the issue has been resolved.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I wish you luck!

Hp 1018 printing problem

Hi,
I have a Hp lj 1018 printer with Foomatic/foo2zjs drivers (cups version:1.3.6).
The print-test-page is printed correctly but when I try to print pdf from preview appears an error message, when I try to print from acrobat I have no error message but nothing is printed in both cases.
error log:
Adding start banner page "none".
Adding job file of type application/octet-stream.
Adding end banner page "none".
Queued on "HPLaserJet1018" by "User".
Started backend /usr/libexec/cups/backend/usb (PID 75249)
Completed successfully.
access log:
"POST /printers/HPLaserJet1018 HTTP/1.1" 200 9116989 Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported
what can I do?
Thanks!

yes CUPS version is 1.3.6,but on same mac with Epson C86, that thanks to god has its own driver (for OsX), I have no problem printing from GUI.
Well, the driver for the Epson C86 is supplied by EPSON. It is a self contained driver that also handles the communication with the printer.
I compile them so there cloud be a problem in the installation of foomatic and foo2zjs.
Unfortunately, the best I can offer is some suggestions for trying to locate the problem. You have a unique installation (custom installation of CUPS and foo2zjs drivers) that I cannot replicate for any diagnostic testing. It may also have to do with the version and way you installed Ghostscript.
For troubleshooting, I would first recommend that you turn on debugging for CUPS. You should get a better idea where the problem is when it fails. The fact that you are able to print for a while before you get an error tends to point to a communications issue with the printer.
You could also try creating a print queue to print to file. Print several of your problem documents to file. If there are no problems, then it is probably not your foo2zjs, foomatic-rip, Ghostscript, CUPS chain that is causing the problem.
You can then try printing your "print to file" documents using a raw printer queue or using the `lp -o raw ` command. This will help pinpoint any communications issues that you might have.

HP LaserJet 1018 printer and windows 7Ultimate 32bit

I have HP LaserJet 1018 printer and it hasn't any problem when I used windows 7 professional but problems started when I replaced it with windows 7 Ultimate 32bit , In the beganning the windows didn't detect its existance so I ran the Hppsdr tool but it didn't help so much it convinced me that the problem in the USB cable so I bought another one and another for the power and the I downloaded the driver and even a setup called hp laserjet solution but it also doen't help so much the chance that the problem related to the hardware is imposible because I visit the maintance shop and the Beleive or Not it worked so fast without any mistakes , Now the problem definetly related to the software especially that the windows detected the printer and when I start to give the print order it stuck in the queue for a long time even if it the test page by the way also I tried to use the cleaning utility but it doen't work also as it encountered an error I don't now . The printer seems so dead now .....Help me please.

Hi,
Looks like there is a driver conflict on the computer....
What i would suggest is to remove all of HP printer S/W and install it back...
Go to control panel>add or remove programs> uninstall any program related to the HP printer....
Restart the computer and reinstall the printer S/W
Hope this works.......

Problems installing HP LaserJet 1018 printer on new MacBook Pro

Hi all,
I just entered the wonderful world of Mac and I am really enjoying it. Too bad I waited so long. However, I have a problem installing my printer, an HP LaserJet 1018 printer, on my new MacBook Pro intel based computer. I checked at HP's website and it says that the printer is not supported for the Mac environment. Could there be other possibilities with drivers to download or should I buy a new printer?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Christian
MacBook Pro 15", Intel based Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Crelle,
When the manufacturer says they don't support something, it's generally best to stay away from it.
There's almost always 3 ways to do any 1 thing, but you may need you printer to do more than 1 thing and therefore you're going to have issues with all the other things.
Printing to a printer sounds like 1 thing, but it's not.
It's many things working together to get ink on paper.
My advise is get a supported printer and live without a headache.

My HP laserjet 1018 printer continue printing old document

My HP laserjet 1018 printer continue printing the a document i sent sometime back every time i restart my computer. And when i try to print a new document , a window messege appears "invalid printer setting"

Hi @Beaglemom49779,
I see by your post that you replaced the toner and are now getting all black pages. I can help you with this.
Did you have the same issue with the printer before replacing the toner?
It could be a hardware or fuser issue with the printer.
If the issue just started after replacing the toner then most likely it is the toner.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Number one cause of toner issues.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, black on the drum, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Please call our technical support if the there is a issue with the toner and inquire about a replacement, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.
Have a nice day!

HP Laser Printer 1018 prints in grey

My transcript documents in Word xp are printing in grey.
I bought another computer and i've followed all the steps in the printer troubleshooting options still prints in grey. These are all the things i've done to try to rectify the problem with no success.
1. Printer troubleshooting steps
2. Opened notepad typed a few lines and it printed in black.
3. Opened a page from another transcript that i did months ago, but prints in grey.
4. Printed something from the internet and it prints in black.
5. These are the things that are checked off in the word printing advanced button:
This is what is checked in the advance print settings:
PRINT:
Print in background
Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper size
Default tray "use printer settings"
WHEN PRINTING THIS DOCUMENT
There are two boxes, but neither of them are checked. They're blank and they are
Print postscript over text and Print only the data from a form
Should i maybe click one of those two? The "print in draft" is not checked. It's blank.
I just printed another test page and it's in black. I printed something off the internet and it's in black. I went back into notepad and it printed in black. I printed a page from another transcript and it printed grey. It seems it's only my word documents that are coming out in grey. So it has to be something that's set in word that's making it come out grey. Also, I hooked it up to my older pc and printed a page and it printed in black. This really has me stumped.
And if you're wondering why i just don't print my document on my old pc it's because I have something that's not right there as well. When i print a large document like a 200-page transcript it misses printing some pages, stops in the middle of printing for long periods of time. Sometimes it'll print 30 pages then stops and won't start again for 10-15 minutes.. etc. So I can't trust that pc to do my transcripts. Too risky. That's why i bought a newer one.
Please help someone - thank you in advance

@ mcl922- I would start by cleaning to contacts on the cartridges and the contacts in the printer chute to ensure that build up is not the source of the issue with the printer's output. Pages 22-23 of the product's user manual will show one how to clean the contacts. After that is complete, I would look at the troubleshooting steps offered in this document here. I hope that this helps.

HP LaserJet 1018 freezes when trying to print from Homegroup user

1. I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop cumputer to Windows 7 SP-1 Ultimate to make it compatible with my desktop.
2. I run a ethernet/wireless network and I have 3 printers attached to the network:
(a) an HP 1018 attached to my desktop and have no problems printing from it;
(b) A second HP 1018 attached to a printserver (Belkin Home Base Control Center (Software version 1.0.0. SKUPTP Driver 3.3.8.0). The Belkin Control Center is attached to my network wirelessly. I have no problem printinting through this printer from my desktop. Nor did I have problems printing through this printserver when my laptop was running Vista Ultimate SP3;
(c) a Photosmart all-in-one C7280 printer attached to my network wirelessly. I have no problem printing from this printer either from my desktop OR my laptop regardless of operating system.
3. When my laptop was running Windows Vista Ultimate and my desktop was on Windows 7, the laptop was able to print through my desktop to the USB HP LaserJet 1018 as well as the HP LaserJet attached to the Belkin Home Base Control Center. At no time has my laptop had problems printing to the HP Photosmart printer.
4.When I upgraded my laptop's OS to Windows 7 SP1 and joined both the desktop and the laptop through homegroup networking, however, I have experienced the following problems:
(a) When the laptop attempts to print through the USB-connected HP LAserJet attached to my desktop, the action is recognised by both computers i.e., one computer printer status indicates that the print job is spooling to the USB printer; the printer indicater on my desktop indicates that the printjob is printing. However, nothing gets printed and the job is suspended.
When I try to cancel the printjob, both print status indicators tells me that the file is being deleted. However, it remains in that state even after a restart of both my computers.
I am unable to cancel the job -and unable to print directly from my host desktop computer- until I physically delete the print device, turn off the printer and restart the computer.
(b) The Belkin Home Base Center on my laptop recognises that the second HP laserJet printer is attached to it and will indicate the fact and ask me if I want to load the print driver. When I indicate yes, the laptop attempts to load the driver, but hangs up while doing so. When I cancel the request and proceed to load the print driver on my laptop directly, the device appears as "Unspecified" rather than a printer on my device manager and I am unable to print from either my laptop or my desktop. Again, I need to delete the devices from both my desktop and laptop and restart just so that I can print from my desktop.
4. As indicated above, printing to and through my Photosmart C7280 wireless printer is fine whether I try from my desktop or laptop. Also, I am able to use my Cannon LiDe 500F scanner, that is also attached to the Belkin Home Base Center from both the desktop and laptop.
SUMMARY:
1. HP LaserJet 1018 printers can be shared between a desktop running Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate and a laptop running Vista SP3 Ultimate on a local network.
2. The Windows 7 desktop and the Vista laptop can both share an HP 1018 printer attached to a Belkin Home Base Center printserver
3. When the laptop is upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and joined to the desktop through Homegroup networking, the laptop can no longer print through the HP1018 printer attached to the desktop, and any attempts to do so will freeze the printer so that not even the desktop can use it unless the device is removed and restarted on the desktop.
4. Both the desktop and laptop computers can communicate with the Belkin Home Base Center printserver and activate a Cannon scanner also attached to this printserver. The desktop can also print through a second HP 1018 printer attached to this printserver. However, when the laptop attempts to print through the printserver, the print job freezes on both the desktop and laptop computers.
5. Regardless of operating system or method of being networked, both the desktop and the laptop are able to print through a Photosmart C7280 printer.
What appears to be the incompatibility between HP LaserJet 1018 printers and Homegroup networking, and how can it be resolved?

Hello computerdude100, welcome to the forums
I read through your post about the issues you have been having since changing your router to the Linksys WRT1900AC. From how you are describing it, the printer itself seems okay without the new router, as your previous router setup worked fine and a the local connection to your computer works fine. The hardware is proving out to be okay.
I do recommend contacting Linksys to see if they can configure the settings for you as it is not communicating with the printer.

Printer spool issue with HP LaserJet 1018

I seem to be having a recurring problem with the HP LaserJet 1018 that I am hoping someone has also had and can help me resolve. When I go to print I get a message that I need to set up a printer (it does not recognize the printer is there). When I click on set up a new printer, I receive a message that the local print spooler service is not running. Nothing I do seems to solve the problem.
This happened to me with my previous 1018 printer. The exact same thing. I had a second 1018 available to me that I connected and it worked just fine for about two months and now is doing the same thing as the first.
I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system. I previously had a Dell with Windows XP that the first printer worked on for a long time (maybe 2+ years). I got this new computer within the past six months and both these printers stopped working while on this computer.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Welcome to the HP Forums fastndfury,
I see by your post that you are only getting the error on the Windows 8 computer, "The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and then try scanning again." I can help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if it will help resolve this issue.

Laserjet 1018 both side printing WinXp SP2 problem

Hello I hope this is the right section for posting this , if not I apologise in advance. I run WinXp SP2 with a Laserjet 1018 printer installed and I need to print a document with 2 pages per sheet and I used the Print on both sides option (to save paper). When the first half of the print job is done the warning led (with the exclamation mark) goes on and I don't get the continue option (mentioned in the manual). i have tried reinstalling the drivers but with no luck. I can do normal print jobs with no problem though.

Hi
You can try running the following utility at the link below. It sounds like a network issue since you are able to print fine when you give the users admin rights.

HP LaserJet 1018 will not work on my iMac G4

Hello,
First of all i would like to thank to anyone who replies to my thread. So here's my issue - i havve brand new HP LaserJer 1018 Printer. Unfortunately i can't find exact drivers for it therefore i'm instaling the printer using the default HP drivers which are in the printer browser list. My iMac recognizes the printer and when i choose driver (Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2) which is the only one available, everything seems to look ok. Anyway when i want to print a document the printer doesn't responde at all. But even with the printer not responding, the printing quewe starts to print and in 10 seconds it says that the printing is completed. Ofcourse no printing occures.
Please tell me how can i solve this problem, because i love my iMac and i don't want to be forced to use my printer on PC.
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help.
George

I had the same problem on my G5. Since when doesn't HP support mac?
The generic drivers suggested- as well as a few others don't work. The Printer window displays that the info is getting to the printer- but nothing prints.
