[SOLVED] Installing HP LaserJet 1018

I've done everything but I can't installed 1018 LaserJet on my system..
I even install python2 and changed the syntax of hp-setup script from
/usr/bin/env python
to
/usr/bin/enc python2
... It still doesn't works.. gives me following error
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

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..

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"

[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):

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.

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:

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?

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.

Hp laserjet 1018 on windows 7 64 bit computer

have hp laserjet 1018 long time working ok. suddenly without any messages the printer stopped printing from any software. The printer does print its test page. I suspect driver corruption. Cannot find a solution without having to pay a lot. Can you help? My printer product # is CB419AR. I am new at this, but may have used this Forum one time many years ago successfully. I tried to download the driver but not sure that i did it correctly
other question; what are TAGS

Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see by your post that the printer isn't printing from the software programs but will print the test page.
I can help you with this issue.
You can put anything you like in the tags. They are basically used to find your issue quicker when doing a search for a specific issue.
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?
If the issue persists then uninstall and reinstall the newest drivers online.
Uninstall the old software first. Disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
I would suggest downloading the Full Feature Software if it is available for your operating system.
HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.

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.......

HP LaserJet 1018 no longer prints after security update

After installing the following updates on my HP Pavilion dv71023cl running Windows Vista:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB2817183)
Installation date: ‎4/‎12/‎2013 4:06 PM
Installation status: Successful
and a new driver for the 1018 from HP:
Hewlett-Packard - Printers - HP LaserJet 1018
Installation date: ‎4/‎21/‎2013 2:01 PM
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Optional
Hewlett-Packard Printers software update released in September, 2012
More information:
http://sysdev.microsoft.com/support/default.aspx
Help and Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub
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.
View Solution.

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.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1814094
If that does not work I would try the PL6 drivers :

Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!
