Printing with AX to Hp laserjet 1018

I have just bought this printer never having problems with the other printers i have had connected to my AX i didnt think that there could be probs. But now I cant get it to work. Works fine with plug and play. And and I can see the printer with bonjour and add it. But it doesn't work. Help please...

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought would happen.
Do you have a wired or wireless router?  It will not have to be connected to the Internet to work.  It will issue the printer an IP address and your Mac will be happy.

  • Print server recommenda​tions for Laserjet 1018

    I tried using Apple's Airport Xpress with my laserjet 1018 as a print server, and it worked ok on my laptop (wireless) but quite poorly on my desktop (wired). My laptop is Vista; desktop is XP. Apple said that the problem was with the OS or the printer.  Man if I had a dime for all the tech support calls that have claimed that their product wasn't the problem....
    Rather than making numerous trips to best buy or purchases on amazon, is there a compatibility list for the 1018 and print servers? I know this seems to be tricky, as I've seen numerous complaints about the lack of compatibility between printers and print servers.  At this point I'm willing to use either wired or wireless print servers--I just want something that works.
    EDIT: Even if someone doesn't have a list, if there are print servers that are known to work with lots of printers, at least that would give me better odds of finding one that worked with my 1018.
    I suppose the price ceiling I'm looking at is 75 bucks or so, as that would be the difference betwen (a) buying a new HP 1505n  and (b) ebaying off my 1018. So if its much more than 75, I think I'd be better off just getting the 1505n.

  • Cannot print with hp 2600n through network

    I installed Leopard on my two month old Imac(latest model) with no real glitches and thought all was fine until I tried printing with my HP color laserjet 2600n through my network.
    I get my network showing up as guest sharing(not logging me in under my name) and even though I could print fine with Tiger, I cannot print with Leopard. The request shows up in the print queue but does not print.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I was never prompted before for a password everytime I printed and was always logged in to my network and not a guest sharing before. I know I'm missing something here but everything else transferred over fine from Tiger but the printer is a mystery.
    Thank you for any help,

    Try resetting the base station that your printer USB is plugged into.

  • 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.

  • Printer spool issue with HP LaserJet 1018

    I seem to be having a recurring problem with the HP LaserJet 1018 that I am hoping someone has also had and can help me resolve.  When I go to print I get a message that I need to set up a printer (it does not recognize the printer is there).  When I click on set up a new printer, I receive a message that the local print spooler service is not running.  Nothing I do seems to solve the problem. 
    This happened to me with my previous 1018 printer.  The exact same thing.  I had a second 1018 available to me that I connected and it worked just fine for about two months and now is doing the same thing as the first.  
    I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.  I previously had a Dell with Windows XP that the first printer worked on for a long time (maybe 2+ years).  I got this new computer within the past six months and both these printers stopped working while on this computer.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated. 

    Welcome to the HP Forums  fastndfury,
    I see by your post that you are only getting the error on the Windows 8 computer, "The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and then try scanning again." I can help you with this issue.
    I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if it will help resolve this issue.

  • Is Printer HP Laserjet 1018 compatible with Airport Express and windows

    I am using HP Laserjet 1018 which is connected directly to the PC.
    As it is a USB printer but not a wifi one, can I connect it to Airport Express and will it be recognised ?
    Thank you for your answers.

    Hello TigerParis75,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    AirPort Utility 6.x: Use a USB printer on your Wi-Fi network

    Just make sure you have all the updated version of the drivers.

  • Problems printing with HP laserjet 1018

    I'm using the hplip package. CUPS sees the printer, but I can't print diddley. I followed the wiki word for word and have googled extensively but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried printing as root, and as my user, and I am in the lp group but to no avail.
    All that happens when I try to print is it says the jobs are all pending. Occasionally I get the error
    "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed"
    I also tried the foo2zjs with similar results. But with the foo2zjs driver it simply says all my jobs are complete, rather than pending.
    I've also tried the hp-toolbox program that comes with hplip, it can get the printer to move!, but it still won't print anything.
    Thanks for the help.

    Read wiki, please. It would be helpful http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cups
    Maybe this is solution
    A HPLIP printer sends "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" error
    Make sure dbus is installed and running, e.g. check DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf or run ls /var/run/daemons.
    hp-toolbox sends an error, "Unable to communicate with device"
    If running hp-toolbox as a regular user results in:
    # hp-toolbox
    # error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12): hp:/usb/<your printer id>
    or, "Unable to communicate with device"", then you may have to add yourself to the lp group by running the following command:
    # gpasswd -a <username> lp
    CUPS returns '"foomatic-rip" not available/stopped with status 3' with a HP printer
    If you receive any of the following error messages in /var/log/cups/error_log while using a HP printer, with jobs appearing to be processed while they all end up not being completed with their status set to 'stopped':
    Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "<printer_name>" not available: No such file or director
    or:
    PID 5771 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 3!
    make sure you have hplip installed, in addition to the packages mentioned above, net-snmp is also needed. See: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65615
    # pacman -S hplip

  • 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.
    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!
