Which is the HPLIP which you have actually installed? Is it the 3.15.2 which is part of Ubuntu 15.04 or did you install an HPLIP directly from HP's site (3.15.4)? I ask because you get
Make and Model: HP LaserJet 1018, hpcups 3.15.4, requires proprietary plugin but the automatically added info in this bug report reads: Package: hplip 3.15.2-0ubuntu4.1 Note that your Ubuntu package of HPLIP (3.15.2-0ubuntu4.1) has bug 1422004 fixed. The version from HP does not necessarily contain this fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460080 Title: HP laserjet 1018 no longer works Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: Incomplete Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My first experience of Ubuntu was Utopic Unicorn, about 2 months ago. I installed HPLIP, so as to use my HP Laserjet 1018 printer, and it all worked fine. On upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, my printer stopped working. I have tried everything I can think of: upgrading HPLIP, removing HPLIP and installing an alternative driver (foomatic), deleting and adding the printer, nothing works. I have also downloaded and installed all updates to Ubuntu. I have noticed, checking through previous bug reports, that this appears to be a recurring problem: people's HP printers work OK until, on upgrading Ubuntu, they suddenly stopped working. Can it be that beta versions are not being properly tested? Having spent most of yesterday on this problem, and having being seriously ticked off by my boss, about it, I am unwilling to spend further time on it. I was going to include some screens shots to support my case, but I can't see how to do this. Here are some more details: As of now: listed printers are: Canon ip1900 series HP Laserjet 1018 (default) / Enabled --> OK / Shared --> OK Description: Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1018 Location: tristram-Aspire-5570Z Device URI: usb://HP/LaserJet%201018?serial=LF04EKT Make and Model: HP LaserJet 1018 Foomatic/foo2zjs-z1 (recommended) Printer state: Idle - Sending data to printer. Trying to print a test page produces a little box that says: "Submitted - Test page submitted as job (whatever)" Noticing that, above, the driver appears to be set to Foomatic, I tried changing it. Now it reads: Make and Model: HP LaserJet 1018, hpcups 3.15.4, requires proprietary plugin I pressed the "Print Test Page" button, and got: "Submitted - Test page submitted as job 64". As usual, nothing happens. All this time, the printer is turned on, and connected to my laptop via USB cable, needless to say. On viewing Document print status I have: Job: 64 /User: tristram /Document: Test Page / Printer: Hewlett-Packard-HP-LaserJet-1018 / Size: 1k /Time submitted: 11 minutes ago / Status (printer appears with a red sign) : Stopped - Printer error On viewing job attributes, I have (for instance, a screen shot would be really useful here): job-more-info: http://localhost:631/jobs/64 (...) job-printer-state-message: Filter failed job-printer-state-reasons: ['hplip.plugin-error'] (...) job-state-reasons: job-completed-with-errors (...) There's more info in this report, but I don't know what you need... I hope this is enough for you people to work on. Meanwhile, I'm seriously thinking of downgrading my Ubuntu version to what it was before, and HPLIP also, except that I don't know for sure what the working version was....
