HP Color Laser MFP 178nw — Compact A4 Colour Laser Print, Copy & Scan
Print · Copy · ScanWi-Fi + EthernetFlatbed scannerHP 117A toner
The HP Color Laser MFP 178nw (4ZB96A) is a compact A4 colour laser multifunction printer that prints, copies and scans, connected over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB, for small offices and home offices that print mostly black documents with occasional colour pages.
Speed is the honest trade-off: up to 18 pages per minute in black but only 4 pages per minute in colour, and two-sided printing is manual. In return you get laser-sharp text, toner that does not dry out, and a small footprint.
Before you order: Colour pages print at 4 ppm and duplex is manual. HP dynamic security: the printer is intended to work only with cartridges that carry a new or reused HP chip, and firmware updates may block cartridges that worked before — most compatible toners without an HP chip will not work.
What's in the Box
- HP Color Laser MFP 178nw
- 4 starter toner cartridges (black approx. 700 pages, cyan/magenta/yellow approx. 500 pages each, per HP)
- Imaging drum and toner collection unit (installed)
- Power cord
- USB cable
- Setup guide and documentation
What It Means in Practice
- Best for mostly-black printing with some colour: 18 ppm mono is fine for a small team, but a 20-page colour report takes about five minutes.
- Manual duplex: the printer prints one side, then prompts you to reload the stack for the other.
- Flatbed only — multi-page originals are scanned one page at a time.
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet let 2–5 people share it; the HP app handles mobile print and scan.
- HP 117A has no high-yield version — black lasts about 1,000 pages, each colour about 700.
What Will Not Work
- No automatic duplex printing.
- No document feeder and no fax.
- No A3: max media 216 × 356 mm.
- Toner without an HP chip will likely be rejected (HP dynamic security).

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The 178nw makes sense when colour is occasional and space is tight — it is one of the smallest colour laser MFPs HP makes. If you print colour all day, a faster colour laser will pay back. Order spares from our original HP toner range.
✓ Buy it if you want a small colour laser that prints, copies and scans for light office use.
✕ Skip it if you print a lot of colour, need automatic duplex or more than 500 pages a month.
→ Also consider the HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw if you need fax and a 40-sheet ADF.
