THis is horrible to set up and still having trouble. Would probably be great if the set up were easy.

Hi there.
I’m sorry to hear that your printer has been difficult to set up, and that you’re still experiencing trouble with it. I can understand why that would be a frustrating start to owning a printer, so I’ll offer some resources and information I hope will help.
First, you can access a setup tutorial as well as user manuals, troubleshooting guides, how-to documents and software updates for your printer on our support site. Do that by following this link: - support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-m478-m479-series/19202514/model/19202521
You can also visit a page on our support site that has diagnostic tools for various tasks and issues, including setup and connectivity. You can find the page here: - support.hp.com/us-en/topic/diagnostics
If any problem persists, I suggest that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number - Serial number - Your location - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
I purchased this printer for my office in June/July and was so happy with it that when my home printer had an unfixable paper jam, I didn't hesitate to purchase this again.
I've contacted support several times to address an issue with the Scan to Email. The printer will not accept pop3, imap or google email accounts. I logged several support tickets with no resolution. They just want to close the ticket without resolving the issue
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On a related note, I'd like to mention the fact that HP printers do also have the warranty from their purchase date, so if you find you need to use it, I hope you will. To verify the warranty, you can use the following link: support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty

Out of the box the printer is working very well. However, the roller feed for scanning or coping documents is consistently jamming. Disappointing since HP printers are usually rock solid. I'll see how customer support addresses this problem.

I like the printer. The only problem I have is the the setup instructor are terrible. I had to call my IP man to help Me install it I still have problems with trying to print and scan It keeps want revert back to printing on both sides of the paper and I have to stop and reset everything. Hopefully it will get better. For the money it costs it should have easy detailed instructions
