Laserjet 1018
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Suddenly, my Laserjet 1018 will not print.  When I click Print a window opens and asks  what name I want to use to "Save Output Page".  I enter the name of the file and click "Save" and nothing happens.  I am able to print a "Test Page" however.

How do I resolve this issue?

Sounds like your printer driver is corrupted. If restarting your system does not solve the problem and you can find no setting in the driver that may have gotten switched to print to file, then you may need to uninstall the driver and reinstall.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.
