HP LaserJet 1018 Desktop Laser Printer, Monochrome

i usualy buy HP and trust them as a printer, but this one is realy stupid, for the first time in my life i'm facing such problems, it been 15 years dealing with computers and printer, i failed to install this printer driver, this printer should accept USB 2.0 but it doesnt i should have disable this feature from my motherboard to start printing :(, i searched everywhere for a solution but no response. i dont recommend this printer

This printer is awesome. I love the manual settings. There is a setting for printing on vellum, which turned out fantastic for the baby shower I'm hosting. When printing labels, I noticed you can specify which row to start on - handy for those labels you didn't use at the bottom of the sheet. This printer is very quick too. Also, the manual feed is awesome at handling awkard sizes, and what's more is that you can save your settings under a chosen name, so if you're going to print frequently on your odd sized paper, you don't have to type in the dimensions every time you print. The only thing that would have made it sweeter is the rebate they're now offering!

Attached directly to my desktop computer it printed fast and beautifully. Reading all the other glowing reviews I was anxious to buy it to replace my ancient but still on-the-job HP 4ML after nearly 10 years (!!!!) But since my home has a network with a print server, I was dismayed to find that my print server refused to recognize the new printer, and checking here on the website, I found that it does indeed say that this printer is not attachable to a print server on a network. Very odd, but worse is that it doesn't say this somewhere on the box, as I wouldn't have bothered to buy this model if I knew. Now I must go to the trouble of returning it. A shame, as I like it.

Printer is very low on features. If you plan to use it as network printer using USB print server or router with USB port - you may spend some time to make it print. It more likely will not print after power cycle if connected to non-Windows based PC. I have setup where it connected via USB to my router (DD_WRT v23 SP2). Any time after power loss I have to connect printer to my Windows based laptop directly, print test page, and only then I can plug it back to USB port on my router. One may experience same issues on linux based PC's Performance: Performance is really 5 star for entry lever laser printer. Print quality: Print quality is excellent when compared to other brands in the same category. However, I still will rate it 4+ star only. One may also like to use just a driver, not a huge application suite from HP. Summary: Excellent choice for home or small office use (windows based)

It's not made to be used with a MacBook. I didn't realize that when I got it for my daughter to take to school. (After some searching I read about an alternate way to install it, but the average person would have a hard time understanding it.) I am now using it with my home computer, and it's great! It was easy to install and is much faster than my old HP LaserJet 4L.
