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.

According to my research, Samsung had sold the printer division to HP at the time. They therefore also took over the models. How much HP optimised the design is unfortunately not known. I have linked 3 very interesting models from HP as alternatives below: - https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/hp-color-lj-pro-mfp-3302fdw-laser-farbe-drucker-43914437 - https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-3302sdwg-laser-farbe-drucker-43347422 - https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-4302fdw-laser-farbe-drucker-30001016

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. Can be ordered here: HP 5KZ38A PS: the google search in Dec 24 helped me with the same message... just a tip.

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.
