HP Laserjet 1018 Alert on Support Site
When searching for updated drivers for our office printers I noticed that there was a Alert out for 1018 printers. I searched and could no find anything, also called HP and they were not able to tell me anything beside the fact that it is no longer a sold printer.
If you check here : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&softwareitem=bi-58503-1&os=228...
on the right hand side it says alerts for this printer. Can anyone help me out? and tell me what the alert is for?
This question was solved.

The alert is just to let you know about the new forums, they are starting to appear on the website here and there for certain printer models.

You may try the following workaround and check if that may help:
Download and install the following package:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Open Print & Scan and click the Plus sign.
Select the listed Laserjet 1018.
Click the Use drop-down and click Select printer software.
Select the Laserjet 1022 from the list, add the printer and try printing using the configured printer.
If that does not help you may also try the 3rd party foo2zjs drivers and check if that works:

HP Laserjet 1018-script error message when I print from web sites
I have a HP Laserjet 1018. When I print from Microsoft products, it prints fine. However, when I try to print from a web site, it gives me an error message stating that there is a script error.
Its some PDF files, it prints using Adobe on a Windows OS just fine, but not in adobe on the Mac. It prints using preview but all the fine details of the picture does not print. One file that does not print is a drawing generated from AutoCAD.

Laserjet 1018 won't work on windows 7
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?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello,
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!

LaserJet 1018 shared on Printer server doesn't print
Hi, I'm a multi HP owner (notebook, desktop a Photosmart printer and the LaserJet 1018)... I recently bought a Iomega NAS with the printer server service and I tried to share both of my HP printers on it. The PhotoSmart 7260 works perfectly, but the LaserJet 1018 does not: it says that it have a job pending but the print doesn't start. I've passed the same nightmare when I've tried to share the printer on the Desktop PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit: job pending but no printing unless I restart the PC... on startup the print stated. I've found the way to share it with Ubuntu Server 9.10 by installing HP linux driver.Now, having this nice NAS I would like to use it as my printer server (energy saving reasons).
I've read a lot of people with the same problem but havn't find the solution. Somebody even says that the 1018 is a low budget printer and is not enabled for sharing, but it sounds bull**bleep** to me (it prints under linux). Somebody knows if and how to solve this problem? My clients are both Win7 x64 (I have to test my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop)... should I install 32bit version drivers? ore something like that? Or should I buy a new printer (!HP)???
Thanks
AlessandroIf the printer is not postscript, and you are using 'generic' then the printer is likely not understanding what is being sent to it, so it is dumping the job.
HP printers default to HPs own page desription language called PCL (Printer Control Language).
If you did not install all the 'additional printers' when you installed your OS, might want to do so.
If not, check HPs site for Mac drivers, or check out GIMP & GhostScript from SourceForge.net to see if they support that particular printer -
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.

HP Laserjet 1018 does not print (Vista)
Hi,
I've had the HP Laserjet 1018 for about 2 years and have been a very happy customer. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7 and have been using it without trouble for a few months. Just a few days ago I started having some spooler problems on Windows 7. Eventually the printer would not respond. I also have a laptop running Vista so decided to just use print using Vista instead.
The problem I'm having on Vista now is that when I send a print command, the printer does go into a warm-up state for about two to three seconds. I can hear moving parts inside and at the same time the 2 lights blink alternatively. But after this warm-up state the printer would just stop. At this pint the print queue on windows would be empty again, as if the print job has been complete.
I've used this printer with my Vista laptop for a long time without any problem. I hope this is a common problem and can be easily resolved. Thanks in advance for helping me out.
TheoI have a similar problem. Dell XPS 64 bit desk top using Laserjet 1018 with Vista. Upgrade to Win 7 four months ago without a problem. Six days ago the print spooler stopped and stops immediately every time I start it. Pages of error reports in event log, but can't find one with a cause (that I can understand anyway). Cannot print. Can't uninstall HP drivers to install any new drivers because the spooler is stopped. Ran Windows system file checker without a problem documented. Windows says the printer is working and trouble shooter did not help. Printers display on control panel with limited function upon right click. Can't choose print directly to printer. A number of similar posts on Microsoft site without viable solution.

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. -

Hello muffa,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are attempting to install the LaserJet 1018 onto your new Mac, probably 10.9. From the research I have done, this printer is not supported on any Mac.
There is not much in this document, but it does display which LaserJet printers are not supported: This Product Is Not Supported in Any Macintosh Environment.
I have even looked into what Apple drivers are available for this printer, it seems there is nothing either. Here is the list: OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download.

It should be simple. I cannot close the paper tray of my HP LaserJet 1018 printer. It is hinged and when I lift it, it moves about 30 degrees and stops. I am afraid that if I force it any farther something will break. How does it close? It was close when I bought it.
