Hi
I'm very new to Linux, please be gentle
Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon ver. 3.8.9
(the only system, installed about week ago on Intel© Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz × 2 computer )
After connecting my printer (HP LaserJet 1018) i can see Linux recognizing it.
Trying to [Print test page], then [Print Self-Test Page]. In both cases the system is telling me "Printing on HP printer", then "Printing completed".
Sadly, my printer is just sitting there, doing nothing.
Any help ?

And if you try to print a real document? Like a 1 page pdf?

Re: HP LaserJet not printing
Have a look at the HPLIP drivers downloaded from the software manager. They might be all you need. Works for my Laser Printer.
Fully mint Household

Re: HP LaserJet not printing
This should be a simple matter of installing the HP drivers from the Linux Mint repositories. Please see the page noted in my signature for a short tutorial.

Thank you so much Akristo, for your tutorial! After trying all sorts of things, my HP 1018n finally works with by Mint installation!
