HP 8500 Wireless paperweight
Cons: Features, Does Not Meet Expectations, Set up
I purchased this printer and was on the phone with HP within an hour of installing it on my computer. It wouldn't print Excel documents in landscape format! So, HP tech support gave me a solution (print direct to printer) which seemed OK, until I went to print multiple copies of something a few days later (had to turn spooling back on). So, I got back on the phone with HP and they gave me a third option of printing with a different driver. This corrected the Excel and multiple copy issues,but then I couldn't print envelopes correctly with this machine (the print driver assumed that non standard sized paper was fed from the right side of the tray, this printer feeds from the center). HP initially offered to purchase the printer back from me then changed their minds saying that they had provided me with sufficient work-arounds (having to manually choose between one of three print drivers for EACH print job to achieve desired results)
I was told (direct quotes): "you can't assume that a printer is going to print everything" (I print MS office, and PDF files pretty much exclusively), "You are using the printer outside of specifications" (printing avery labels, photo sized pages and standard sized envelopes) and that "HP does not guarantee that it prints from specific software, even MS Office". I was told this by TWO high level case managers!
So, I have unplugged the printer and will go back out to purchase a non HP printer. Wish me luck!

Great Machine for Home Office
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
I have used this printer for 2 months. I use this printer every day in a small business. It is networked to a desktop with XP and a laptop with Vista. Setup was easy, just follow the step by step directions. Print quality is excellent and the speed is exceptional. Some reviews had complained about the quantity of ink that comes with the printer. I have printed several hundred pages and still have 50% black and 80% colors left.
The only issue I have had so far is that every now and then, (maybe every 2 weeks) the paper doesnt want to feed in to the printer. Not sure if it is the weight of the paper I am using or not. Wont know until I try a different box of paper.
Overall, I love this machine and all the features it has.

Jury is still out . . .
Cons: Set up, wireless connectivity
When connected within my in home network, I love the features and the ability to multi task. My HP came with a XP/Vista installation CD and my workstation is Windows 7, which meant I had to go to HP online to download installation/drivers information . . . not what I would consider a positive.
Additionally, I have an XP workstation connected to my network and I have already had connectivity issues . . . I've noticed that I am not alone and that is a cause for concern.

HP Pro 8500
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, hp support
Cons: Set up
Ok first the PROS:
This printer is everything we thought it would be and more!
The printer is really fast and the e-mail/wireless is great - that was the main reason we got this! So far so good, with the office max extended warranty we shouldn't have any problems for the next 3 years.

Cons: When I first rec'd it, opened it everything was fine up until step 7 - which was the step for the printer find it's self or config/self test....though it says it might take up to 20min....it never found itself...everything up to that point was fine and I spent like 6 hrs with Hp support, a couple of more hrs the next day finally finishing up...since then everything has been fine...My advise to you if this happens to you - REMOVE ALL CARTRIDGES, start the process over again and see if that works for you.

Does it all
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations
I shopped for all in one's for awhile and decided this had the best bang for the buck. It also had a great sale price! Overall, it performs well. It installed easily on all my PC's...except it burped on my Vista 64 bit system (which I fixed by referring to an updated driver on the HP web). I've owned HP printers before, and IMHO the print quality is far better than other brands. This printer also uses separate color cartridges, so I hope the expense I had with the older HP multi-color cartridges is over. It's fast, and has a duplexer built in. The only thing I'd improve is that it's a little noisier than I'd expect.

Excellent Product
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, print cartridges last longer
Purchased this product to replace an older all-in-one inkjet product (different brand). Works with my iMac just fine and the control panel on the Officejet Pro is awesome as well as the HP Utility on my iMac. Prints clear and super photo's as well as flawless documents. The ink cartridges to last longer than the ones in my older all-in-one inkjet printer.

Love my new HP
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, easy set up
My old printer/fax machine died. I spent hours researching new machines and decided to go with another HP. The wireless feature is great. No wires laying around. Easy to set up. Print quality is excellent. It looks sleek and business like. Energy saving machine goes into sleep mode when not being used, but doesn't take long to start up. Love it so far.

Perfect Printer
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, easy set up
I run a small business with contractors and clients who come in and out, but need to access a printer from their laptops. This printer is a perfect solution.
It took literally 8 minutes for me to set up -- true, i have had several HP printers and so know them well, but even the wireless was a piece of cake. I can't say enough nice things about it -- I love it!

Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: touchpad is a little too small & sensitive
I purchased this all in one for a small office. The wireless connections hooked up easily, the scanning and faxing is very easy. I recently scanned in and printed some of our product pictures and you would have thought I had them professionally done. Excellent Purchase!

Excellent All In One Wireless Inkjet
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: Set up
Ink is lasting longer in this machine than any we have had. Software is a little touchy and has some quirks (at least on my computer). The wireless works great as well as all the other features, including the scanner. Not perfect, but still an excellent machine for home or small office.
