Laserjet 1018

When HP refreshed its personal laser line in 2005, the LaserJet 1018 became the new entry point — smaller, quieter, and quicker than the models it replaced. Students and home offices snapped it up by the millions.

Toner is the HP 12A cartridge (Q2612A); the high-yield HP 12X (Q2612X) cuts per-page costs. Our compatible toner and genuine OEM cartridges both serve the 1018.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Q2612A and Q2612X cartridges for the HP Laserjet 1018?

For the HP Laserjet 1018, Q2612A and Q2612X are the same cartridge family in two capacities: standard (HP 12A) and high-yield (HP 12X). Either one installs the same way; the choice is purely about how much you print.

How do I fix light vertical bands on prints from my HP Laserjet 1018?

For the HP Laserjet 1018, vertical light streaks usually live inside the Q2612A cartridge rather than the printer. Reseat the HP 12A cartridge after a gentle redistribution; bands that survive that step on the HP Laserjet 1018 mean it is time for a new Q2612A.

Will the HP Laserjet 1018 work with a newer computer?

The HP Laserjet 1018 can generally be coaxed onto a modern computer: try HP's support site for a driver, then fall back to the universal print driver. As long as the HP Laserjet 1018 connects over USB or the network, the software side is solvable.
