Installing Hp Laserjet 1018 on Ubuntu 13.10

Hplip can't see my printer, but lsusb can what can I do to get it to be found manually?  I can not discover what to enter in the manual discovery options and what format to enter them in.
output from my terminal console is as follows:

  • 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.

  • 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 |

    (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?

    Delete the /usr/bin/python file which is just a link to /usr/bin/python3
    Change to /usr/bin folder
    Create a new link, this time pointing to python 2.7
    The commands
    rm -rf /usr/bin/python
    cd /usr/bin
    ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 python

    I tried to install the foo2zjs driver, but it failed to compile saying that dc is missing, install dc.. Can you tell me which dc is it referring to?
    I'm really tired to boot Windows everytime I want to print anything..
    Last edited by tarun.hellknight (2011-02-19 04:58:25)

    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.

  • 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
    Alessandro

    If 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

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] cups and laserjet 1018

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to use cups to set up a Laserjet 1018 with no success. The problem I'm having is that, even though according to the CUPS web interface my job is completed, my printer doesn't print anything. That's what I tried so far (based on the archlinux entry on CUPS and forums):
    - I installed the drivers hplip and foo2zjs.
    - cups is in my daemons array.
    - I tried to stop and start usblp module.
    - the device node permissions are correct.
    That's the output of my /var/log/cups/error_log (I'm using "LogLevel debug" in my cupsd.conf):

  • Printing problems with hp laserjet 1018

  • 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.
    Theo

    I 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.
