How to get the plug-in for the Laserjet 1018 under Linux?

wget
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-2.8.6-plugin.run

and then run (as root):
sh ./hplip-2.8.6-plugin.run

Alternately, download and install the latest 3.9.2 version of HPLIP (the
version you are using is 5-6 revisions back).

We will look into why this error is occurring.
