Ubuntu 9.10 and HP Laserjet 1018 problem

I am having large number of small HP printer, which were having printing problem, even after upgrading Ubuntu to 9.10, problem was not resolved. After days googling I found following solution, which I like to share with you :

Some Facts :
1. Ubuntu 9.10 comes with the default hplip 3.9.8
2. Current version of hplip is 3.9.10 (as of now) which is not required (may be a improved version)
3. To run the printer HP LaserJet 1000, 1005, 1006, 1018, 1020, 1022, 1120, 1319, 1505 a plugin is required.

Procedure :

1. Download a plugin hplip-3.9.8-plugin.run from http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/ (don't be greedy to download higher version)
2. Confirm that the printer is attached through USB port and is “on”.
3. System → Administration → Printing → new
4. There will be a popup for plugin
5. Give path for hplip-3.9.8-plugin.run where the plugin has been downloaded.
6. Complete the setup procedure
7. Restart the system


Best of luck
