Windows 10 doesn't recognize my LaserJet 1018

[Frustrated104]

Hi All,

My new Dell laptop can’t find my printer (HP LaserJet 1018). I found the following webpage and tried step 4 #8 (manually add the driver), but LaserJet 1018 was not on any of the three lists ( HP, Hewlett-Packard, or Hewlett Packard ). The page says I should then go back, and add the printer using TCP/IP , but I don't know how to find the TCP/IP for LaserJet 1018, or whether that's even relevant to me--I'm not using a networked office printer; it's my home printer. Please help!! I really like this printer and would need the laptop to work with it!
