No, this printer does not have automatic duplex. You have to turn the sheets manually ("manual double-sided printing"). With HP printers, the "d" in the name (e.g. 178dw) stands for the duplex function - this is missing here.
The HP Color Laser MFP 178nwg is generally compatible with Linux, as there are official drivers from HP. However, there are reports that the driver can cause problems under certain Linux distributions or versions, especially when printing. TWAIN/WIA is supported for the scanner, which works on Linux with the appropriate tools. It is recommended to download the latest drivers directly from the HP website and check compatibility with your specific Linux distribution.
On the description it says 'Products as new, which may have slight defects in packaging or appearance. The products have been checked by Galaxus' from personal experience they usually only have some defects in the packaging, but I cannot guarantee this. For the price difference, consider buying it at full price.
The printer cartridges 117A are compatible with this device. The HP 117A toner cartridge (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) is specifically supported for the HP Colour Laser MFP 178nw.
The HP 178nw Colour Laser Printer is compatible with macOS Ventura 13.4. However, I have not found any official confirmation specific to this version of macOS. In general, HP printers are supported by macOS without the need for specific drivers, but it is always advisable to check the official HP website for any updates or specific instructions.
This means that the waste toner container, which is full and needs to be replaced (located on the far left of the machine), collects the excess toner left over from printing.

PS: the google search in Dec 24 helped me with the same message... just a tip.

Hello,
If you haven't already done so, we recommend that you contact the brand's support team to check whether the problem is really with the drum: https://support.hp.com/ch-fr...
According to my research, (almost) nobody specifies the maximum amount that can be scanned, as it depends on how large the files are and how much RAM is available. The printer itself has 128MB RAM, depending on the computer used. This printer does not have an ADF, so each page would have to be placed on the scanner manually.
Yes, definitely, but the question is how long. This is the worst printer I've ever bought. Nothing worked after the last software update. No longer recognised third-party toners.
I threw it away 😁
