The printer spits out the quick start guide—when it IS connected to my Wi-Fi—I don't use the printer that often, and this happens every blessed time. I am FED UP with this nonsense. HP is subpar in every way—sorry to say, but it is true.

Hello @astrojon258, Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

I understand your concern. Having your HP Officejet Pro 9129e print a Wi-Fi setup guide every time you want to use it is frustrating, especially when you print only occasionally. Let's narrow down why this keeps happening rather than have you repeat the entire setup process.
 

Could you please check two things?
 

1. Does the printer print the Wi-Fi setup guide automatically as soon as it connects to your network, or does it happen only when you send a print job from your computer?
2. When the guide prints, does the printer's touchscreen show any message about connecting to Wi-Fi, completing setup, or registering the printer?
3. If the guide prints automatically even when no print job has been sent, that will help us distinguish a recurring wireless setup issue from a queued or unintended print request.

You can also check the user guide for more information - User Guide
 

Please share what you observe, and we'll focus on the cause of the repeated guide printing rather than asking you to start over unnecessarily.

Have a great day!
