I have an iMac (21.5 inches, mid 2014) with MacOS Mojave.
I understand that you would like to install your HP Laserjet 1018 on Mac Sierra 10.12. I checked and found that there are no drivers available for Mac Sierra 10.12. However, I will give you a workaround using which the printer should be able to print. I suggest you follow the below steps to install the inbuilt printer drivers in Mac Sierra. If you follow the instructions on the page that Greg cites, you will find the proper driver and associated dependencies. The foo2zjs Mac OS X installer has documentation on how to implement the installation, get the extra files you need, and load the firmware to the printer. The Mac OS X driver package has worked well for many with the LJ 1018. HP LaserJet 1022, 1.2.0.224 drivers worked for me I tried using the LaserJet 1015 drivers (from the giant Apple list of printer drivers) with no luck, but then tried 'HP LaserJet 1022, 1.2.0.224' and it seems to work just fine. 2.4GHz White MacBook running OS X 10.6.4.
It's working now.
I copied this solution from Shlomi, an HP expert

The HP LaserJet 1018 is currently not supported by HP on any version of OS X or macOS. Only Linux and Windows driver support is shown. This is also confirmed by reviewing the contents of the HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X that was released on 2017-10-24.
The only way that you can use this printer with High Sierra is to host it on a Linux or Windows machine as a network device. If you Google Apple share a Windows or Linux printer, there is information on how to achieve this goal for Mac, Linux, and Windows sharing.
There is Foomatic driver support for the HP LaserJet 1018 on Linux. You will have to obtain their driver code, compile it, and load their firmware into the printer. There is no GutenPrint support for this printer. HP also supports this printer on Linux with their HP Linux and Imaging software.
