Sharing LaserJet 1018 from Vista host to XP users

I've been sharing my LaserJet 1018 on an XP desktop to several XP laptops for a long time, and it works flawlessly.
I've now bought a Vista 64 bit desktop, and wish to connect the 1018 to it and share it. (And get rid of the XP desktop). It all seems to work, but then problems arise:
Printing from a (corporate) XP Pro laptop, I get a message that my print spooler has stopped. I can't print to anything until I reboot the laptop.
From a (personal) XP Pro laptop, I can print sometimes but not others. I can run a test print, and mostly can print from Internet Explorer, but not from Excel. (!!!) When I can print, I don't get any feedback (such as, "you're out of paper").
From an XP Home laptop, I'm asked to reinstall the print drivers every time. And then I can't print - I forget the error.
I've connected each of the laptops to the printer directly (USB) and installed the drivers that way, and they all work flawlessly when directly connected. The Vista machine prints flawlessly, either directly to the printer or over the network to the old XP desktop. When the printer is connected to the old XP desktop everything works perfectly.
Also, another printer - an Epson Photo printer - connected to the Vista desktop and shared in exactly the same way works flawlessly.
I've downloaded the drivers appropriate to my operating systems from:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1814094&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&submit=Go%20%C2%BB
Initially I didn't, but now I've also installed the "other OS" drivers onto the server - no apparent difference.
This is on a wireless home network. The printer is mapped via IP address and that seems just fine - same as the Epson.
Any suggestions? This feels like a buggy Vista driver to me.
Thanks,
Tim

I am having very similar challenge with Vista 64 home premium and laserjet 1020. The Vista 64 spooler file seems to have become corrupted, since the printer worked for several months with vista before the error messages and continues to work fine with my old computer running xp pro. HP chat sessions (14 hours) have been entertaining but unhelpful, and phone support insists that the spooler error is with the printer, which is more than 6 months old. I have rebooted, reinitialized the printer from Vista and dos, reloaded and reinstalled printer drivers.  Did you get a fix for this?

  • Sharing Laserjet 1300 from Windows 7 64-bit to XP 32-bit

    I used to have a working setup like this:
    WinXP-computer#1 --- WLAN ---- WinXP-computer#2 ---USB--- LJ1300
    My setup has now changed to this:
    WinXP-computer#1 ---- WLAN ---- Win7(64bit)-computer ---USB--- LJ1300
    I got the LJ1300 working on my Win7 computer.
    I removed all the "old" LJ1300 printer devices from the WinXP-computer#1 and clicked "Add new" to reinstall it now that it's shared from a new computer.
    I find the printer in the browers when choosing "Add printer" from the control panel on the WinXP-computer#1, but it's never able to find a suitable driver, but it HAS the driver. I didn't wipe that computer, just removed the printer.
    I've downloaded the PCL5 driver and I've downloaded the universal driver. They both say "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver." when trying to use those as drivers when installing the printer.
    I've also tried to click "Additional Drivers" on my Win7 computer and checking the x86-option. It then asks me for a driver. I tried the same two drivers as above but it just says there's no driver matching the chosen architecture...
    AAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • [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):

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Sharing Photosmart 7760 from Win7 to Vista and XP

    My current setup is the Photosmart 7760 is attached via USB to my desktop running Win7 Pro x64. I have two laptops 1 running Vista Home 32bit and the other XP Home Media 32bit. I have been able to add the shared printer to the Vista laptop but continue to get a missing driver error when trying to add the printer to the XP laptop. I have tried to add the additional drivers under Win7 but I'm unable to locate the x86 drivers. I have tried installing the driver for XP and finding it that way but no luck. I'm sure it's something I have overlooked as I see others are sucessfully able to share to XP, but I'm at wits end. Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem, more or less.  New desktop with Windows 7 where my 7760 is installed, old laptop with Windows XP that I would like to have share access to the printer.  I finally figured out how to do it, though the solution is far from ideal.  It would be nice if HP simply made the drivers easily accessible...  
    I'm writing this out from memory, so some of the menu selections may be a bit off in wording.  The gist of them is right though, you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out what I mean.  Good luck!
    Step 1:  Set up the printer in Win 7, share it.  (Duh)  Let's suppose my win 7 machine is named Windows7 for simplicity's sake.
    Step 2: Download the Win XP printer software to your laptop.  Install it.
    Step 3:  Unplug the printer from your desktop and plug it into your laptop.  The laptop will set up the printer as a USB wired printer.
    Step 4: Plug the printer back into your desktop and confirm that it is working properly again.
    Step 4:  Attempt to install the printer over the network.  When you get to the bit where you've browsed to the printer, you should have a network path at the top of the screen.  It should be something like '\\Windows7\HP Photosmart 7700 Series Printer.'  Control-C to copy that path, then cancel that installation.
    Step 5:  Browse to the printer that you installed locally on your laptop, which should now be marked as offline.  Right click and select Printer Properties.
    Step 6:  Go to the Ports tab.  Click the button to add a new port.
    Step 7: Choose Local Port.  When the box comes up to enter the information, paste the path you copied earlier (control-V) into the window.  Hit OK until you are out of the printer properties.
    Step 8: Right click on the printer and select Use Printer Online.  
    Step 9: Print a test job.  It ought to work.
    Step 10:  Be glad you only have to do this once and that your two machines aren't both desktops...

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

    My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
    I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
    Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
    Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
    1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
    2. From a command prompt, issue this command:  ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

  • 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.
