Bug Description
I originally installed 16.04 on my newly acquired Dell Studio 2 months ago. I then installed my HP Laserjet 1018 and it ran well. I upgraded to 18.04 and the printer continued to work well until this morning when it decided not to work. I have checked the cables which all work. I do have an HP 6300 connected and it works when the same cable is plugged into it. The 1018 printer is switched on. I did switch 1018 on and off and it resets. I even ran a test page on the printer but cannot print test page from laptop.
