my laserjet 1018 is printing at less than 0.1PPM when there are more than 50 docs in the queue... any suggestions on fixing it?

@sanjay9909 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are facing a slow printing issue.

Check the printer preferences

1. Search Windows for printers, and then click Printers & scanners in the list of results.

2. Click your printer, and then click Manage.

3. Click Printing Preferences.

4. Click the Paper/Quality tab.

5. In the Paper Type field, make sure Plain Paper is selected.

6. In the Print Quality field, make sure Draft or Normal is selected.

7. Click OK or Apply to confirm the changes.

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor 

Download HP Print and Scan Doctor and run the program. It will automatically diagnose and fix any printer connectivity issues.  

For more information, go to https://support.hp.com/us-en/topic/printscandoctor 

I would suggest you try the Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below: 

  

•    Go to Control Panel - Devices and printers - Click on "Add printer" and follow the on-screen instructions. 

•    When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated. 

•    Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.
