HP LaserJet 1018 Drivers

Hello,

Was it the 1.6.1 driver version?

There is also a newer download at HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X (the supported printers list at Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support).

A reply at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252038870?answerId=253978538022#253978538022 with some details about a 1022 installation may or may not be of help in this case.

Hi,

The HP LaserJet 1018 is a printer supported on Windows and Linux only. However, it has been reported to work with the LaserJet 1022 driver under some older Mac systems. Were you using a 1022 driver earlier? If so, the discussion about this driver (used with a 1020) at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252038870?answerId=253919168022#253919168022 could perhaps be of interest to you.

After updating to Big Sur, I got my HP Laserjet 1018 working following these instructions :

Go to the HP website, find the drivers for your model and download them. I had to use Pacifist to install mine.

You need HP’s version 5.1 driver package which is recommended for older HP printers now.
