The HP LaserJet 1018 was manufactured in 2006 and sold for approximately $129.00 USD. I think you got your money's worth. Time to recycle the printer and buy a new one. I sincerely doubt neither HP nor Apple are going to expend any effort on supporting a printer that is nearly 20 years old.


The HP LaserJet M209d (USB only) is close in both size, specs, & price. It is more than twice the speed of the 1018. The HP LaserJet 4001dn adds Ethernet and more speed. The HP LaserJet M234dw adds WiFi, Ethernet, & Scanning.

Yes, that is a good question. HP would probably be the key. Unless another user here can suggest a solution, you may (at least temporarily) have to use the 1018 printer with a Windows computer, or an older Mac, and print from transferred PDF files. Another (experimental) way could possibly be to use a Raspberry Pi running Linux as a print server for the USB-connected 1018, for AirPrint-like printing from a modern Mac.

There were similar difficulties with a previous printer driver package and installer four years ago when macOS 11 Big Sur was new. Various workarounds (including extracting drivers) were suggested. After a while, an updated HP printer software package was made available for download from Apple. The 1022 driver could then be used even for a 1018. I do not know what the reason for the present situation is. Could it possibly have something to do with the printer manufacturer and certificates?
