Installing HP LaserJet 1018 HOW LONG on line?

Have an HP LaserJet 1018 and a new computer that has Windows 7 on it. The old ones had MicrosoftXP. I love my printer but it wouldn't load. Tried the web site to install the driver, but it has been installing for 2 hrs. now. Should I stop and try again?

  • HPLIP: "Syntax error: invalid syntax" installing HP LaserJet 1018

    I'm trying to install my HP LaserJet 1018 on my new laptop with fresh arch installation. I have installed Cups and hplip, and now run hp-setup to install the proprietary plugin from HP that will load the firmware to the printer. However, I get an error running hp-setup and so the plugin cannot be installed.
    * my printer is plugged in and turned on. In the system log, I can see something is recognized
    * I run "hp-setup -i" as root
    * Specify that the printer is installed on USB, then proceed to download the plugin. This succeeds
    * Then it tries to install the plugin, and that is where it fails, with this message:
    | INSTALLING PLUG-IN |
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.

    (I don't really know how to do proper formatting on this forum, but the ^ indicating where the error is is on the comma , after ImportError)
    Does anyone know what is going wrong? It seems to me that there is an error in the plugin_install.py-file which then makes the installer believe that the pygobject and dbus-python are not installed, but they both are. Also, "hp-check -t" shows that all dependencies are there. Can anyone help me?

  • 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.

    It appears I can no longer print from Internet Explorer 9.
    Clicking on gear icon and selecting the Print item, shows the Microsoft XPS Document Writer is highlighted instead of the HP Laserjet 1018 as I expect. When I select the HP Laserjet 1018, the Print Button becomes grayed-out.
    Attemping to print from Adobe Reader X also hangs the application.
    However, printing is working when using Open Office.
    I cannot recall if I attempted to print between the time these 2 updates were installed, so cannot determine which is the cause of the problem.
    This question was solved.

    Sounds like you've run into some printer issues since your most recent update. First I wold recommend removing the software and then going to the HP website and re installing the software from the direct driver downloads. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Download this file, and if optional use the Full-feature software.

    If that does not work I would try the PL6 drivers :

    Install that and let me know the result!

    use foo2zjs in aur. Sometimes the formware doesnt get uploaded to the printer correctly (via an udev rule) so use this "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0"

    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.

  • How long can it take for BT to repair a BT line?

    I am concerned that I am going for some sort of record!
    I have been having problems with my telephone line, there is no dial-tone and the DSL is all over the place.  After checking that it was not an equipment failure on my side I logged a fault on the 9th February.  Literally within hours (I was impressed) I had not one but two BT vans outside to trace the fault.  They very efficiently diagnosed the problem to be a connection fault with the wire that was replaced about a year ago (the grass has only just grown back in my front garden).  That was it.  A week later I still had the fault, the fault web site says the ticket was closed and so I called in to 151 and was told “an engineer would be with me by 5pm that day”, they were not.  So the next day I called again and was told “an engineer would be with me by 5pm that day”; fearing a bad case of deja vu at this point I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very understanding.  However, basically I was told that the line is waiting for contractors to dig up the wire again and would have to wait until “next month”.  How long should this take?
    I am at the point where I am waiting for some undefined point in time for someone to dig a hole so that someone else can come along and fix the wire.  I have been a BT customer basically since I left home, quite some years ago, this line alone I have had ADSL on since early 2001.  At this point I am considering dropping everything I have with BT and switching to another provider entirely.  I try to do my bit for the environment and work from home when I can, currently I either hit the environment and drive into work or it cost me on my cell phone.  The only reason I have not already as I know that they would end up providing the connection over the same wire – perhaps their customer service will be better…  If there was virgin cable in my street I would have switched already!

    Hi AGeezer,
    If the road has to be dug up then there needs to be permission granted from owner/council and of course the road must be closed etc so sometimes it can take a while to get all this arranged.
    I'll be happy to keep you up to speed and let you know what's happening as the updates come through.
    Could you drop me in an email please with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
    Just send to the email address in my profile and mark FAO Craig please.
    Thx

  • Can no longer print with Laserjet 1018 under Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Hello all,
    I used to be able to use the HP Laserjet 1020 driver from Apple's HP Print Drivers 3.0 kit to print documents on my Laserjet 1018. It worked like a charm. Now that I have done a clean install of Yosemite, updated to 10.10.1, and installed the HP Print Drivers 3.0 package, the documents get sent to the print queue but no documents are printed...
    What are my options, short of buying a new printer or downgrading to Mavericks?
    I really resent regressions.... especially those you only find out about after the fact.

    I just realized I had been trying to use the HP LS 1200 driver for my 1018, while I should have been using the 1022 driver, which is the one that works with the 1018 (since there is no specific driver for 1018).
    So now that I have already upgraded to 10.10.1, I'm not sure if the update fixed anything for me or if I was just using the wrong driver from the start.
    Anyway, the HP LaserJet 1022 driver works on the 1018 on Yosemite 10.10.1. Confirmed.

  • LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works.  Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction.  Any suggestions?  I'm desperate.......

  • The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
    There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
    It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
    In any event, thank you for your help.

    Hello priyasim,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you are receiving a message "Inappropriate invocation, unable to start application". I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
    I would recommend following this Microsoft document on You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension. If you are still unable to install the Laserjet 1020, then you would have to perform a clean install of Windows.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
