Most helpful customer reviews 213 of 218 people found the following review helpful. Low cost per page, wireless with touchscreen and apps By Andrea L. Polk Received as part of the Amazon Vine reviewer program, the HP Officejet Pro 8500A is a wireless, all-in-one (printer, fax, scanner, copier, web) office tool. It uses the current touchscreen technology to offer the user a way to fax, scan, copy and print without the use of a computer directly attached to it. SET-UP: Once I unboxed this beast (it's quite a bit heavier and larger than my previous printer: HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer), it took a few minutes to check the box contents and untape parts that were immobilized as part of packaging. A very basic (10) step sheet with pictures and minimal directions directs you how to install the two print heads, four ink cartridges, the HP automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer) and load the paper. It also shows you for PC or Mac computers how to hook up the printer via a usb cord, ethernet (internet cord) or via a wireless home network (found in the Getting Started Guide) Once you power up the printer it takes approximately 20 minutes to go through a series of checks prior to asking you if you want to 'update'. As I'd already established a wireless connection with the printer by following the prompts on the touchscreen and entering my home network's security code, I had it do an update which took about 5 minutes. All in all, the 25-30 minutes the all-in-one spent getting ready for use was no big deal. It took me about 45 minutes to get it set-up prior to that time, and I'm fairly savy about such things. The directions that come with it rely heavily on drawings and had to be referred to frequently - at least for me. So a little over an hour into set-up I installed the software on my primary computer. This took about 10 minutes. Later I also went to the HP site and got the very basic drivers (a 64MB download) for the printer to install on 2 laptops (Vista 64-bit and Windows 7), 1 netbook (Windows XP) and 2 desktops (Vista 64-bit and Windows XP) All the computers installed the drivers quickly and easily, and once installed printed wirelessly off the 8500A. I was amazed with that one... no hic-ups with drivers?! I also went to iTunes and got a free app: HP iPrint Photo. Once loaded on your iTouch or iPhone you can use it to send photos or documents to print to this printer, or any HP printer (I'm assuming other non-HP printers won't work with this app) connected to your network. It worked with both the 8500A and the 6300 (hardwired to my router). Between the unboxing, untaping, installing of ink and printer heads, the all-in-one's auto set-up and software installation, getting this one up and running took about 1.5 hours. That's much longer than most printers I've wrestled with in the past, but I did take my time and gently worked each step The only device I did not get linked to the 8500A was my phone: Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS with Free Voice Navigation, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (White). I tried multiple times to get it to recognize the printer, but thus far, nothing. I'll continue to work on it. FEATURES per the box: +Printing speeds equivalent to laser printers (35ppm black and 34ppm color - max). +Water resistant-inks. +Wireless networking. +35 page automatic document feeder (ADF) +Automatic two-sided printing; saving time and paper +4800 x 4800 dpi, 48-bit color scanning +App printing via touchscreen - print directly from the web without a computer +Printing from anywhere via mobile devices using HP ePrint (the printer has its own email addresss) +Front panel usb port and memory card slots for digital cameras +Fax to network folder, to PC and PC Fax Send ++ Eco-friendly solution, offering 50% lower cost per page than other similar all-in-one printers. "What does all this mean?" Ideally, if you buy this one you'll get a wireless printer,.
