hp laserjet 1018 driver is not found for High Sierra
hp printer driver version 2.0.4 can't be found after I updated the OS to high Sierra and updated the driver portion.
The HP LaserJet 1018 is currently not supported by HP on any version of OS X or macOS. Only Linux and Windows driver support is shown. This is also confirmed by reviewing the contents of the HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X that was released on 2017-10-24.
The only way that you can use this printer with High Sierra is to host it on a Linux or Windows machine as a network device. If you Google Apple share a Windows or Linux printer, there is information on how to achieve this goal for Mac, Linux, and Windows sharing.
There is Foomatic driver support for the HP LaserJet 1018 on Linux. You will have to obtain their driver code, compile it, and load their firmware into the printer. There is no GutenPrint support for this printer. HP also supports this printer on Linux with their HP Linux and Imaging software.
