For macOS Tahoe, a separate HP driver for this model is often no longer necessary; AirPrint or Apple's printer support usually works most reliably. HP no longer lists full Mac drivers for many consumer printers and instead refers to HP Smart or the printing functions integrated into macOS.
For your device, this practically means:
- Delete and re-add the printer in macOS under Printers & Scanners.
- If possible, select AirPrint under "Use" instead of looking for an HP driver.
- For scanning and device setup, use the HP Print and Support App or HP Smart; a separate "classic" Mac driver is often not available.
Important regarding Tahoe 26.5.1:
- In the available sources, I cannot find an official HP Mac driver that explicitly supports this model for macOS Tahoe 26.5.1.
- There are reports that the device generally works on Mac, but often only with AirPrint or built-in macOS support and not with its own full HP driver.
If the printer is not automatically detected:
- Connect the printer via Wi-Fi, LAN, or USB and then add it again.
- If macOS only offers a generic driver, use AirPrint.
- For network installation, it can help to add the printer by IP and then use AirPrint or the appropriate software selection.
In short: You are probably not looking for a missing Mac driver, but should set up the printer via AirPrint or the macOS standard drivers. If you wish, I can write down the steps for macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 very specifically and in order.

Yes, it is compatible with Android via smartphone. You can print from an Android phone, especially with the HP Smart app or via Android mobile printing supported by the device.

I’ve no idea whether a set was/is included, but you’ll need an ‘HP 117A Toner Set’ – and as it’s a laser printer, these aren’t cartridges.

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.

yes, smaller is included, but lasts a long time

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:

Sorry, unintentional duplication.

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 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.

Do you have a question about this?

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.

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.
Thank you for the detailed review. So that your review gets more attention, you can also place such feedback in the review section in the future.
Well, mine it brand new.
I can not answer your question since my Toners ares full and new .
Better to buy an original Toners

For me it is 4cm. As long as they are A4 sheets you can put them in with feeling up to the stop. You'll probably be annoyed every time, but it works!
1. the 4 colours are printed on the printer display. When toner is low, the display changes every ~5 seconds from "Ready: Copy 100% 001" to "Very low toner" and one or more arrows are displayed next to the respective colour.
2. the standard HP Smart Print app also shows at the top which toner is low in colour. There is also a note.
