Unable to find HP laser jet 1018 printer driver

I am trying to install my HP laserjet 1018 printer on my Windows 10, version 1809 I attempted the following method after connecting printer over USB,

Click add printer > the printer that I want isn't listed>Add a local printer or network printer with manual setting>IN Use an existing port USB001( virtual printer port for USB) was selected > clicked on windows update button > then in manufacture column selected
HP, but in printer column I am unable to find Laserjet 1018 printer driver on repeatedly updating driver by clicking windows update



* See
here no HP Laserjet 1018 driver is available

But on performing the same method on my old laptop with an older version of Win 10, I was able to install this driver.

 

Install HP LaserJet 4M Plus

Printer is connected to router with EtherNet cable, was able to print test page which gives IP Address of: 10.0.0.81, and did find drivers but attempting to install with any of the LaserJet 4 drivers listed below, gives the error message, "Printer Driver was not installed".

This printer has both Postscript and PCL personalities.

Thumbnail sketch of what I did:

Settings>Devices>Printers & Scanners>Add Printer and Scanner>[Clicked on the text, "the printer I want isn't listed"]>chose "Add a local printer" using existing port 10.0.0.81>did Windows Update and each of the following LaserJet drivers for this model of printer failed to install:

HP LaserJet 4 Plus
HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 300
HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 600
HP LaserJet 4/4M PS
HP LaserJet 4/4M PS (300 dpi)


the USB port mentioned in the 400 day old post on this topic was not a choice.
