hp 1018 LaserJet is not supported
Last modified: 2008-01-29 14:11:53 UTC
hp LaserJet 1018[1] is supported trough opensource driver foo2zjs [1] Those driver are not in our distributtion. [1] - http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1018 [2] - http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
No ZJ-Stream driver can be free software because ZJ-Stream requires JBIG (for example foo2zjs has JBIG included in source code and rastertokmXXXXdl requires a JBIG library) but JBIG has patent issues, see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/patents.html *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 214599 ***
For more details regarding JBIG and in particular regarding HPLIP and ZJStream printers, see bug #342704.
Meanwhile I have a ZJStream printer HP LaserJet 1020 and with HPLIP 2.7.10 it works o.k. for me, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187049
