HP Laserjet 1018 printer

I have a brand new macbook and I bought my HP Laserjet 1018 printer last year but I cannot get it to work!

Any help would be appreciated!

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!

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.

IMac and HP LaserJet 1018

I'm switching to Mac in a few days, and I own a HP LaserJet 1018 printer, which apparently dosen't work with a Mac. (although Apple claimed that "everything works with a Mac") Does anyone here has that printer, and how does it work with a Mac? Please help...

Paul Keith-
Greetings. That is exactly how you will do it.
More information on setting up a small network can be found here.
You can download the drivers from HP. Make sure the printer is connected to the router and on before running the installer.

Paper tray hp laserjet 1018

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.

HP LaserJet 1018 and the MacBook

So, I bought a HP LaserJet 1018 printer this weekend because they were on sale. I have some friends who are using a very similar printer, if not the same one, on their iMac and iBook, so I figured it'd be a safe bet.
After buying it, then doing the research (I know, wrong order), I found out that, normally this wouldn't be a problem but in recent months, HP removed the driver you could use to let this printer communciate with the Mac.
The short story is not I have a printer I can't use with my MacBook. Since it's such a popular printer, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I could do before I pack it up and bring it back for a return. I've already followed the instructions on this website: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=40933&page=6 and I couldn't find the driver I'd allegedly installed anywhere when I tried to add the printer.
Any help would be greatly aprpeciated.

Thats a good thought on the 1012. Actually, I believe all of teh HP LJ 1010 series printers will use the same driver.
I'm having an HP related printing problem as well... quite different than this, but driver related all the same. THe other thing that makes me mad is that HP usually packages their drivers in an installer... you can't just get to the individual driver file. So if your trying to install anetworked printer and the printer isn't in Apple's Pick list, you can't install it. Pointing to the disk does no good because the disk just contains the compressed installer. (And most of the "home marketed" HP printers are only supported through USB or a direct connection these days, so you are SOL.)
I'm anxious to try that driver link posted above and see if it will help me... Though I'm away on business right now and will have to wait to get home to give it a go.

Hp laserjet 1018 with windows 7-32 driver problems

We've used this printer with our new computers for 2 yrs now. The last 4 months, we've had issues with it not printing all of the time, but. Could turn it off and back on and it would work. Now it's not printing at all. I have downloaded driver and utility, it works to print 2 things and then quits again. If I reinstall the driver again, same thing, prints 2, then quits. I have replaced the cable, tried everything. This is my main printer at my front desk (billing, patient receipts, etc), I need thirinter up and running ASAP! Having to reinstall the driver every 15 minutes is not going to work for me!

Hi,
Please delete the LaserJet 1018 printer driver from device & printers. Then click on 'print server properties' -> driver tab and delete 1018 driver (if listed).
then from server properties, go to 'port' tab-> delete printer IP port (in case of network printer)
download basic host based driver from following URL:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-58503-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
and complete the driver installation.

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!

Laserjet 1018 paper jam on way out.

Hello,
My printer prints some pages and then one (white page not printed) stucks on half way out. Paper jam message appears on pc.
I cleaned everything inside, then I changed the pickup roller with a new one but same thing happens.
If I send 4 pages to print are ok. If I Send 20 paper jam at 18 ..
The information for what to do if a paper jam happens does not help me for this problem.
Thank you.

Hi @Andrant ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when printing multiple pages, the paper will stop 1/2 way through and you get a paper jam message on the computer. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
It sounds more like a communication issue, which is causing the printer to stop printing in the middle of the jobs.
What file format are you printing? (PDF)
Try cutting the pages being printed down, the larger amount of pages could be stopping the Print Spooler on the computer.
Did you download and install the latest drivers for the printer, or are you using the Windows Classic drivers?
HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Drivers.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve this issue, by checking the driver installed and updating it. Wireless Printer Prints a Partial Page or Fails to Print All Pages in Windows 8.
Go to Step 3 for the update, then click the link for Workaround and under Step 4, go to steps 8.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
