My notebook had windows10, i formatted it and reinstalled from a new windows image and installed recent updates also.
My Laserjet 1018 printer, that normally worked in old windows 10 installation, now doesn't be recognized by Windows.
At first connection of USB cable, was showed a tooltip notification that says: "HP Laserjet 1018 is now ready", but in control panel is doesn't appear.
I tryed built-in driver installation procedure, but the model is not on windows update drivers list.
I tryed also microsoft troubleshooting, HP print and scan doctor (that recognize, but doesn't install the printer), HP Smart from microsoft store, and 123.hp.com site. I also tryed to create an offline administrator account and install from it, but incontered same problems.
No one of these procedures is able to resolve, can someone help me?

@DarioCucchiar Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are unable to install the printer drivers for Windows 10 operating system.
You have to install the drivers using the built-in printer drivers.
Please refer to the following link to install the drivers using the built-in printer drivers.
