I wound up, after some fumbling, to set up everything using some basic info
from HP documentation that came with the printer. I used Firefox to go to
the network address of my printer and it magically showed me the proper
setup screen where I was able to choose the settings I wanted.

I have tested all the desired MFP modes and can print from my PC as well as
from my iPhone and iPad, and my wife can, too.

The only scanner program that works for me is XSane, which also worked for
my old printer.

So far I cannot get scanning or copying to use the ADF in two-sided mode.

But I can use CLI 'lpr' now successfuly on pdf files, including two-sided
printing.

BTW, one big downside of the printer is Tray 1 doubles as the access to
changing the toner cartridges--and it is on the rear of the printer!  I'm
going to live with it, but, among other things, I would have at least named
it Tray 2!

I can live with it now, but I wish I had bought another brand.
