    WPS is the only option for connecting to wifi. I could not find scan network or anything like that on this printer.

    Thanks for the review . Your right on. This printer is a little tricky setting up with no physical booklet and I'm pretty savy at these things. I just wanted something to print from my phone or laptop wireless.

    I totally agree about the documentation -- it's a major flaw. HP could and should take a leaf from the Apple playbook and assemble a package that anyone can unbox, fiddle with for a moment then start using confidently. I got this printer hooked up via wi-fi - on the fourth or fifth try, and I'm still wondering how I did it. I did accidentally find out how to set duplex printing as a default (look in the prefs) and I probably would have found the toner cartridge, but thanks for showing me. But I know that figuring out the submenus under those little buttons is going to take an age. Cheaping on documentation is a poor economy for the company and an insult to the purchaser that HP should be above. In addition, leaving the user to figure out the features of the device and its attendant software probably deprives many of functionality that they would use if they realized it was there, which of course will reduce their positive word-of-mouth.

      I HAD TO CALL HP. LO AND BEHOLD I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PRINTER NEEDS TO BE SET UP THROUGH A COMPUTER. IT'S A BREEZE WHEN DONE THAT WAY. BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HP PRINTER AGAIN. AFTER WEEKS OF TRYING TO GET IT ONLINE AND TO PRINT FROM THE FRONT PANEL, IT JUST WASN'T HAPPENING. THEN I REMEMBERED; I REMEMBERED AHA! YOU NEED TO USE A COMPUTER. I'M 67 SO MY MEMORY ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE.

    Hi, I am looking for a new laser printer for home use. I don't want a colour printer. Just a laser printer that can also do some scanning that doesn't jam so easily. Also economical to use and doesn't take up a lot of space. Current printer that I have at the moment is Brother HL-2010. My printing habits are like feast and famine. I don't print for a long time and then print a lot. The HP Laserjet Pro M148fdw seems like a good option. What would you recommend?

    Wish I'd seen your review before I bought mine. So difficult to get it set up and now I can't find any instructions about how to do anything with it. The screen is useless and the menus that pop up don't help me understand anything about what's going on. I'm going to try and return it. Wondering if you could recommend a simple LaserJet that prints and copies double sided. Also scans. Could be black/white or colour. Wireless. Simple instructions included. Is that too much to ask??? Really appreciate your wisdom on this.
