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.......

    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.

  • 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.

    Have you plugged the printer into your router and does it have a proper IP address?  If so:
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.

  • Installing x64 and x86 drivers for a HP Laserjet p1505n printer on Windows Server 2008

    How do you install both x64 and x86 drivers for a p1505n on a 2008 server? I have now managed to install 64 bit drivers but can't install x86 drivers in the normal way using Additional Drivers from the Sharing tab. I am also trying to do similar for a laserjet 1022n printer.

    On the 2008 Server x64 I installed the FULL driver package 163mb.
    I installed the HP P1505n on Server 2008 and made sure that was working.
    Then I went back in and did the Additional Driver thing and when it asked for the driver for x86 I went to the
    C:\hp_P1000_P1500_Full_Solution folder and scrolled to the bottom and there was the x86 XP driver.
    I hope this helps someone.

  • Networking color laserjet 3800 printer with Windows 7 OS

    I have a color laserjet 3800 that is networked in an office of 5 computers using Windows XP pro OS.  I just purchased a HP pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64 bit OS computer.  The networking and printer networking set up was a breeze until it came to connecting the 3800.  I have downloaded the PCL 5, 6 and universal drivers.  When I go to add printer as a network printer and choose the 3800 it gives an error of not being able to find a driver.  I tried to manually find the driver but it does not find a match in PCL 5, 6 or universal driver.  The link below clearly shows the 3800 to be compatible with windows 7, but I cannot get it work.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=HP%20Col...
    The network absolutely sees the printer and lets it be chosen but does not let it get installed on the windows 7 machine.
    Thank you for any assistance.

  • LaserJet Pro P1606dn and Windows 8 problems

    I recently upgraded an office of 7 computers to Windows 8. The office has a networked LaserJet P1606dn printer. I had pre-installed the driver, downloaded from the HP website, onto the new computers. I had Group Policy Preferences push out the new printer to the computers. When I went to print a test page from one of the computers, it began printing an endless amount of the same test page! So I disabled the group policy and, using Print Manager, I manually uninstalled and re-installed the printer and print driver. I tried another test page and it printed only one page but it displays an error on the computer saying that the page failed to print. I've tried switching the driver to the one from Windows Update but it gives the same results. I've tested this on all 7 of the computers with the same results. Any ideas?

  • HP 950C network printer and windows 8.1

    I have an HP950C printer that is usb connected to my desktop which runs XP. This printer was used on my network by my old laptop which was also XP. I now have a new laptop with Win 8.1 and the printer will not work unless I hook it up via USB. The error message is that there is no driver installled. I downloaded a driver and nothing changed. My HP disk isn't recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1. Is there a problem with getting it to work on the network because I have two different operating systems?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi 080842,
    Since your printer is USB only, one of the computers on your network will have to be connected to it by USB and then share it over the network.  So the issue really is how to get Windows XP and 8.1 to share resources over a network.
    The drivers for the 950c are in Windows already so no disks are needed.
    These instructions are written for Windows 7 and XP, but they should work for Windows 8.1 and XP.
    You will not need the step 5 as the driver for this model is built into Windows.
    Step one: Windows 7 Homegroup must be setup
    Printer sharing must be setup in the Homegroup settings, if one of the computers in the network is using Windows 7.
    1. Click Start
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
    4. Click Network and Sharing Center.
    5. Click Choose homegroup and sharing options
    6. If the Homegroup is not setup, you need to set up your homegroup before continuing.
    Step two: Set the Workgroup on each computer
    Each computer on the network must be set to the same Workgroup.  The workgroup name needs to be changed from the default to a new name.
    Windows XP:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
    3. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP. 
    4. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
    5. In System Properties, click the Computer Name tab.
    6. Click the Change button.
    7. Enter the Workgroup name that is used by your entire network.  If you are changing the Workgroup name, use the same name used in Windows 7.
    8. Click OK.
    9. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
    Windows 7:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
    3. The Workgroup is listed in System Properties.
    4. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP. 
    5. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
    6. Change your Workgroup in Windows 7 by clicking Change settings.
    7. Click the Change button.
    8. Enter a new Workgroup name that will be used by your entire network.
    9. Click OK.
    10. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
    Step three: Setup a share account on each computer in the network
    Create a common share account on each of the computers, including the computer that is sharing the printer to the rest of the network.  This share account must have the same name and password on each computer.
    If you decide to use an existing account that appears on each computer all ready, this existing account must be password protected. If you do not want to password protect your default login, create a new share login as described in the following steps.
    Windows XP
    1. Click Start
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click User Accounts
    4. Click Create a new account.
    5. Enter the same user account name created as the share account on the Windows 7 computer.
    6. Click Next.
    7. Under “Pick an account type”, select ‘Computer Administrator’.
    Note: In Windows XP you must select Computer Administrator in order setup a printer.
    8. After you new account is created, select it under ‘pick an account to change’.
    9. Click Create a password
    10. Enter the same password used when creating the share account on the Windows 7 computer, following the directions on the screen.
    11. Click Create Password button.
    12. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
    13. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
    Windows 7
    1. Click Start
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
    4. Click User Accounts
    5. Click Manage another account
    6. Click Create a new account
    7. Select Standard User
    Note:  The account created should be created with the lowest security setting necessary.  Creating the share account as an administrator is discouraged.
    8. Enter a new user account name.  Use a name that is easy to remember as the account used for sharing resources across your network.  For example: ‘ShareAccount’
    9. After your new account is created, select it under “Choose the account you would like to change”.
    10. Click Create a Password
    11. Enter a new password, following the directions on the screen.
    12. Click Create Password button.
    13. Close any remaining opened windows, making a note of the new account name and password as you will need to create identical accounts and passwords on the other computers on your network.
    14. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
    15. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
    Step Four: Share the printer to the network
    The computer that has the printer attached and installed by USB must have the printer shared to the network.
    Windows XP
    1. Open the printers and faxes folder in Windows XP.
    Note: A hand symbol under the icon for the printer indicates it is all ready shared to the network.
    2. Right click on the printer to be shared to the network.
    3. Left click on Sharing.
    4. Click “If you understand the security risks but want to share printers without running the wizard, click here”.
    5. Select “Just enable printer sharing”.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Select “Share this printer”.
    8. If the Share name is acceptable, click OK.
    9. If you want to change the Share name, enter a new name. Click OK.
    Note: If the Share name entered is longer than 8 characters, you will get a warning that the printer will not be accessible from MS-Dos computers.
    Step five: Install the appropriate software for your printer
    Install the printer software on the other computers on the network that will need to access the shared printer.  Install the correct driver for the printer model for each computer on the network.
    1. Check for available drivers – visit the HP website and download available drivers.
    Note: Even if you have an install CD for your older HP product, there may be an updated driver for your printer.
    2. Launch the driver setup by double-clicking on the downloaded driver.
    3. If the driver install process requires you to attach the printer USB cable to continue, click cancel instead.  This will roll back the install, but it will leave the driver files installed. 
    4. Select the USB connection type. Look for the checkbox labeled “Connect later – Do not connect to the printer now.  I will connect it later”. 
    Note: You might have to select USB connection type before the checkbox is visible.
    5. Complete the install without attaching the USB cable.
    6. After the software is installed, delete any icons created on the desktop.  They will not be linked to the shared printer and will only result in errors if used.
    Step six: Install the shared printer.
    Note: Computers that are not sharing a resource to the network may not show up by name when viewing the entire network.
    Windows 7
    1. Click Start.
    2. Click on Computer.
    3. In the lower left pane, click on Network.
    4. Double click on the computer that is sharing the printer.
    5. Enter the name of your share account as the “User name”.
    6. Enter the same password created for the share account.
    7. Check the box labeled Remember my credentials.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Right click on the printer, left click Open.
    10. Windows will find the previously loaded driver for the printer and complete the install.

  • HP 5150 printer and Windows 8.1

    I have used this printer with Windows XP for many years. I have now changed to 8.1 and I cannot find how to display the ink levels. Have you any suggestions on how I achieve this? Thanks

    Hi,
    A full feature software is not available for Windows 8.1, checking the setimated ink levels cannot be done from the PC.
    Check the I've always used HP Solution Center and HP Toolbox. What do I use now? section below as a reference:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    You may print a self test report as following, the report should show the estimated ink levels or show the print quality is free of defects:
    Print a self-test report to make sure that the hardware functions correctly.
    Load plain paper in the paper tray.
    Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
    Press and hold the Power button.
    Press the Resume button () four times. The self-test report prints.

  • LJ 3500 color printer and Windows 7

    Greetings everyone,
    my 3500 color LJ is a great printer and I have enjoyed its use. The printer is physically attached to a computer running XP Pro SP3. I was using the printer from my desktop system through a network until I upgraded my desktop system to Windows 7.
    Right now I create a PDF for any printout I need in color and go to the other computer to print it. Some exercise is the only benefit to that.
    Are drivers for windows 7 going to become available? Can I use Vista drivers? Has anyone any work arounds I could try?

    Hi @JDG1607, 
    I see that you are having issues networking the printer to the one computer running Windows Premium.
    I can help you.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
    Try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer on the Windows Premium.
    Type the IPV4 address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    Did it load the page?
    Check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP. They have to match to be on the same network.
    Go to start, type run in the search box, type in cmd, then type ipconfig.
    Check the IPV4 address.
    Now check the IPV4 address for the printer.
    Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?
    Try and ping the printer.
    In the same window, type ping printers IP address (space between ping and IP address)
    What are the results?
    If everything checks out there, it could be your Antivirus stopping it from finding the printer.
    Temporarily disable it and try the installation again.
    You might need to power cycle everything.
    If you are still having issues, install the printer on this computer as a USB connection and then setup the network connection.
    Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network Connection.
    Go to Step two: Change from a USB connection to an Ethernet connection (optional).
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
