If you’re looking for a printer with all the latest technologies, check out the HP Officejet 6500 Wireless. Keep in mind that HP makes two 6500 models–one is wireless and one is not. This is the wireless model. With copy, scan, print and fax functions this all-in-one is a real workhorse.
Fast speed (up to 31 ppm) and extremely easy to use. The setup function is all done via software–you don’t even need to touch the 6500′s keypad controls. It links directly to your System Preferences control panel making the wireless and fax settings easy. It uses 4 separate color inks, so you can control your print costs when only a single color needs to be replaced.
Main drawback is HP’s decision to only include a 2-line text display. For a printer in this price range, HP should have included a 2.5″ color LCD screen. If you’re looking for a multifunction machine that does it all, seriously consider the HP 6500 Wireless.
