    Just dusted off an HP1018 after years of hassling with open source drivers.

     

    I can't believe it but I finally go it to print hassle free by downloading the HP drivers 2.11 for SL/Lion/ML at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

    Add the 1018 in the Printer Setup and then select the HP LaserJet 1022 1.3.0.261 driver. 

     

    Hope this helps.
