I inherited an older (2012) black and white compact HP laser. Has wifi.

Was a bit of a pita getting wifi setup. Had to use HP software first. Unlike my Canon which just showed up on the network.

Works great otherwise, surprisingly. Even back then I wouldn't have bought it.

I'm not too surprised at having to use HP software to set it up. The one I was assigned to set up wanted an HP app that requires an account. I'm pretty sure it would also need to be continuously connected to the Internet in order to print. That is utterly ridiculous!
