Required help from Amazon.

Very sad and unhappy.
Amazon pl1 change or return defected printer
That it's includes 'duplex printing' but not mentioned it properly 'manual duplex printing'
They hide this line in the description section,
Which is not seen easily.
They're fooling people's.
So please beware from them.
Cheaters..!!!
Doesn't seem to support high wifi channels 12, 13 & 14.
The lack of a screen is off-putting because you get so little feedback, the lack of any documentation is worse.
I got the printer working immediately by pressing the WPS connect button on my wireless access point and then holding down the blue flashing light on the printer.
The buttons are
* Wireless button and light (Coloured blue. Press for WPS. If blinking, it isn't connected)
* Attention light
* Ready light
* Supplies light
* Resume button
* Cancel button
Anyway the printer was fine until it suddenly wasn't on the network any more.
Turns out my wireless access point had switched to a high channel and the printer wouldn't connect any more.
Once I figured it out I forced the wireless access point to use channel 2 and then the printer was working again.
It seems that wifi channels over 11 are illegal in the USA and kit designed to be used there won't connect over them.
Here are my notes while I worked this out...
* The printer has separate MAC addresses for wired and wireless adapters
* I couldn't get a USB connection to work on Win10
* Printer shows up under "Network" as both a "Printer" and an "Other Devices". If you click the "Other Devices" icon it opens the admin web page even if you don't know the address.
* You can set a password for accessing the built-in admin web page
* Although the admin website looks rubbish and simple, it does work. Click the green "Networking" tab for all the good stuff.
* I noticed that when you use a network cable, the blue networking light goes off and the printer won't print over wifi _BUT_ the wifi is still working. You can use a wired connection to configure and test wifi. When all is well just disconnect the cable and it flips over to wireless.
* The printer will enumerate wifi networks by SSID but it seems to baulk as soon a it finds a 12,13,14 channel SSID. Until I turned off my wireless access point only one network was listed. Afterwards the printer could see the usual twenty or so networks in my street. You could try moving the printer as close to your access point as possible. You can also just type in the SSID and wifi key.
Cons: driver installation on windows for wireless printing is an enormous joke. Do not accept this behavior from corporate entities. Product offers separate "Easy Start" from printer support drivers, but printer support drivers just redirect to "Easy Start". Easy Start is evil corporate software. Here is a list of associated garbage:
- Easy Start application is 9MB
- Easy Start enables telemetry by default unless a hidden menu is opened and boxes are unticked. After unticking boxes, you still must agree to their telemetry privacy policy to continue
- Easy Start fails to find wifi printer devices on separate wifi SSIDs (even if the device is on the same network)
- Easy Start offers "other important software" as part of its "full" driver installation, but doesn't specify what is different from "basic". Garbage description is provide. Full installation is guaranteed SPAM
- "Basic" driver is 57MB
- "Basic" driver won't wirelessly print unless the client machine's network firewall settings are enabled as promiscuous
- Easy Start opens a warranty/registration link (read: COLLECT YOUR DATA) in internet explorer automatically
- Skipping warrant/registration is not possible until after you've closed these windows and retried (surprise, a "skip" option is now available)
- Easy Start pressures you into registering (SPAM)
- After installing "basic" drivers, I'm informed that I can "wifi direct print". That shouldn't be necessary. I want to use normal network printing.
- After installing "basic" drivers, basic drivers make a third attempt at forcing you to register the product
- Closing "basic" drivers registration window warns you that your setup is interrupted but doesn't clarify that it's just registration being interrupted. Popup window takes priority and can't be minimised (SPAM)
Do not buy this garbage. Do not accept this behavior from your software.
I had a Dell colour laser for 13 years. As it started to pack up last year, I could see that the three initial colour cartridges were still on 80% after 13 years. That's what persuaded me that a black and white laser is all I need so I bought this HP.
Installation was quite simple but you still have to use a cable for initial setup. Good grief, I was doing that fifteen years ago. (You would think there is a clue in the description "wireless".) Surely they could have improved that by now?
Photos in black and white are quite poor, lines through them. Daughter uses this to draw pencil versions from.
The main problem is every single time, and I mean every time, we either turn off or let printer go into standby we lose the wifi connection.
We end up turning on/off, using app, trying setup again until it decides too connect again.
I also used window 10 app to fix in my wifi details and set a static IP from my router to try and get around it.
Tempted to return as its driving me mad.
Same for my windows 10 PC, windows 10 tablet, Android phone, Iphone. It loses the network, showing offline all the time.
It fits lots of paper in which is great and I also like that it does duplex printing, and very well.
The only issue had been the wireless setup. I'm okay with geeky stuff and this should have been a breeze, but I've given up. I am connected via USB and that works well.
There is an app you can use, but without the wireless connection it doesn't work. I might have another go sometime, but right now can't be bothered.
I'm glad I bought it though, it works very well and the print speed is amazing.
*** Not given 5 star as it is yet to be fully tested.
This printer is super compact, great quality output and incredibly quick to produce the first page of output
Really pleased with it and I know my per-page print costs will be a fraction of the old OfficeJet
Its well worth thr money, one of the cheapest lazer jet printer that will do double sided prints, so your not wasting money on paper.
Only problem I still have is setting it up on wifi. I can only put it down to the wifi not being strong enough to setup.
Time will tell how reliable it is.
With thanks Charles Sturge
I am using this MFP for more than a year and so far had no issues, be it printing or scanning or copier. P.S. I use only genuine HP toner in it, so it’s quite a deal.
HP 126nw, mark this nw in its name as it makes it super useful, giving it network capability in terms of LAN/Wi-Fi for both printing and scanning. This is really useful as you can keep it anywhere and print from virtually any location without any cable connected (other than power cable).
Setting it up, in general, is a breeze while the Wi-Fi scan is a bit complicated. I will list the steps to make it easy for you.
FYI, I got it from Cambium Retail seller.

10. Tiltable control panel for easy access.
11. The good thing with a laser printer is that you don’t have to worry about drying ink or print head. I had 2 heads replaced in the earlier inkjet printer. So even if off for a month, laser one works instantly with the same good quality.

CONS
••••••••
1. Scan quality is not crisp. On full zoom, I find it slightly blurry. But in regular day to day scanning tasks, you won’t even notice it. So not a big deal.
2. No backlit LCD and it’s a pain to operate it without backlight unless you tilt it.
3. No ADF for scanning, so you need feed in every single page to be scanned separately. (But you can’t get everything in this range)
4. Initial warm-up time (power on to ready) is quite large, ~40 sec.

CONFIGURING IT FOR WIRELESS SCANNING & PRINTING BOTH
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
▶ WITHOUT WPS
The initial setup of this MFP directly via 'first-time wireless connection' option, does not enable scan via Wi-Fi. Only printing works. I will take you through steps to enable wireless scanning which is really very handy. It took me a lot of time to figure it out.
If already configured on network and you set it up via 2nd option, then scanning will work.
1. Power on MFP. Do not connect it via LAN cable or USB cable for now.
2. Use driver cd or download installer from the HP website. Run it.
3. Choose USB based setup. Follow on-screen instructions and complete it.
4. Again run the installer and now choose the 3rd option, first-time wireless connection. Follow on-screen instructions and complete it.
5. Now when you run HP scan utility, it will be able to communicate to MFP via Wi-Fi.
6. If you skip step 3 above, it won’t work and give communication error.
▶ WITH WPS
1. Power on MFP. USB or LAN cable is not required.
2. Press the Wi-Fi button on MFP to start the WPS connection.
3. Push the WPS button on your router.
4. Let it connect to the router. Once successful, the IP address will be displayed on LCD.
5. Now start setup and select 2nd option 'connect through the network'. It will search for the printer on the network.
6. Once found, select it and proceed.

FINAL VERDICT
•••••••••••••••••••
I am using it for more than a year and it never disappointed me in terms of usage, be it printing/scanning/copy task.
▶ This device, M126nw is highly suitable for general home usage where you don’t print every day or light to medium office work where you print/scan daily. You can very well go for it.
▶ There used to be another model m126a without network capability. If you can find it, you can save some bucks. But a few bucks more get you a good deal of value proposition with m126nw.
2) It doesn't have led light in the display so its gonna be more difficult and annoying for you to operate this printer.
My Quick Find outs are --- pros:
1. Compatible Toners easily available at just under 500 INR on Amazon so no worry about printing cost.
2. WiFi setup and wireless printing is extremely easy (by phone or laptops)
3. Using it as network printer atm (by LAN port in my small office)
4. Print quality is awesome 5/5 for that
5. Photo Copy /Xerox are so fine, get confused which one is original if I copy (if copy b/w)
6. Scanning quality is nice too.
Cons:
Some things to consider before buying this printer:
1. Unable to copy/scan large size of papers (legal size)
2. No back-lit in digital display screen
Another big warning: No flatbed in scanner. If you have 100 pages to scan, you need to do it one by one. A cheap 3k rupees printer does this.
No return option in Amazon unless there is a technical defect. Make your choice clear before buying. I would have returned it if I was allowed.
Not an good experience on Linux machine. Setup was not easy. I will couldn't connect it wirelessly. Need to run a ethernet from router.
Only Good thing is, it's prints very fast. If you just do printing alone and nothing else, you can consider this.
