Can someone tell me if the 8500 wireless has to be physically connected to a wireless router in order to receive wireless print projects?

EDIT: This applies to the A909G wireless version only. It contains its own WAP. No, you do not need a cable at all. It connects to the network via WiFi. You will need a wireless router, but no physical connection between router and printer or PC and printer required. The only physical connection required is the router to the computer that acts as the gateway. My laptop is on my wireless network as well as my desktop-gateway. Once I installed the software on my laptop, it prints from there just as well. One problem I had was the unit kept dropping the wifi connection. I played around and found that if I disable the PowerSave mode on the Printer, the connection stays up indefinitely EDIT: This applies to the A909G wireless version only. It contains its own WAP.

Can you tell me about Window's Vista working w/this? I read a comment & I just bought this from staples - ended up paying 249.97 for it (got the 50 instant rebate for turning in old Lexmar) -- Staples employee said this was the 'best' but after reading things here I am concerned. Have Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 7 & I need to know about working abilities before opening box or I'm returning it. I also see new sales ad of Staples & they are offering Kodak ESP on sale & that got great reviews, better than this HP .. so if anyone could offer some help I would so much appreciate it!

No. It has an integrated wireless antenna. Your router can be anywhere in the house.

Thanks for the information. But still I have a confusion. I can see the Maximum Allowable cash back for this model in T&Cs; of 2010 is $200. So if the purchase price is 180 and the regular price is 488 , will this offer still apply to this printer since the difference is more than 200(488-180 =308 ) ? Thanks

Got mine at Staples this afternoon. With trade in, got the wireless version for $219!Took about an hour and a half to set up. Would have been shorter but I had forgotten my WiFi Routers address. Can't wait to try it on 2 sided printing and for photos.

I ordered this printer from Amazon and received the wrong printer. I had problems with Amazon trying to get the proper return papers and eventually received them. When I sent it back for a refund I did not recieve the refund credit back to my credit card. I contacted Amazon (no phone number and I see why). They asked for the return shipping information. I sent it to them and still no credit. This has been going on almost 1 year now. Amazon hasn't answered my emails and like I said, no phone number. If you or anyone knows of a phone number I can call, please share it. I wouldn't recommend buying from amazon at all. I ordered this printer from Amazon and received the wrong printer.

My box did not have a rebate coupon. Adobe now uses upgrade editions, requiring you to have the older license. The upgrade edition seems to be priced at ten dollars less than the price for the full edition and I don't see the upgrade edition listed YET on Amazon for sale and download. Perhaps it is coming in future. I suggest you write or call Customer Service and inquire.

Personally, I think ALL inkjet printers "ink value" is a huge rip off. This printer seems to be average in ink usage compared to all the others I have ever had. I also have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 and both seem to use about the same amount of ink per cartridge. This 7610 is a decent value compared to other printers. No better or worse.

I'm not so sure this is OEM. It doesn't specifically say it is in the product description, while an 85A cartridge that costs about $20 more on Amazon *does* specifically say OEM. Don't you think this manufacturer would gladly state so?I just ordered one under the assumption it was OEM. We'll see what my experience is once it arrives. The photo of the HP box might be true, or might be an incredibly deceptive case of false advertising.

Ha... I couldn't get mine to work here in the US. HP customer support would not accept the Amazon invoice receipt because it does not have the serial # on the receipt. By the time I opened it to use it (I'm an IT manager) it was past the Amazon ruturn window. I called in a private printer service company on my own dime and he said it was not repairable. (Something about a built-in part and everything it printed was blurry and rubbed off on my hand.) After many battles with HP on facebook, I donated my BRAND NEW, NEVER USED HP2055 to a recycle center and considered the money and time I spent a lesson learned. I have many HPs, but I have yet to buy another one after this horrible customer service experience. I would steer clear of this printer.

I asked this early on and was told I could for about $100 but it that it would void the warranty.This was from a 1st level HP tech. Don't know how valid it is. I've adapted pretty well and for $5 you might try stardock.com/products/start8 for a more familiar interface if you don't use or like touch screen and use "Desk Top" option.

Some sellers may sell new ink that is past its recommended install by date. If this is the case they will ideally list that information in their seller specific condition notes. No matter what their note says, you are protected by Amazon's policies if the "new" ink does not work when it arrives.

There are demo toner cartridges in the printer when it arrives. This printer is awesome. Just be sure during set up that you don't select the option to only use HP toner cartridges. That way you can buy refurbished from one of the companies online for much less.

I Cancelled my order from Amazon on Feb 12 and ordered from HP. It shipped that night and will be in my hands Monday Feb 16th. I did this as HP has had the EX485 in stock and shipping for several days and I decided not to wait any longer for Amazon. The only downside is that HP charged me sales tax but has the same $50 off as Amazon.

Same here...."Early Feb....blah, blah, blah" from HP and nothing better from Amazon. IN happier news, price just dropped $20 from when I originally pre-ordered so I had them adjust the price. Will be watching the price like a hawk before it ships for any further drops.

940XL Black - C4906AA 940XL Cyan - C4907AA 940XL Magenta - C4908AN 940XL Yellow - C4909AN (These are the product numbers directly off the individual boxes.) They should generally be compatible with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 and 8500, but check your specific printer model to be sure. I always buy the high yield (XL) cartridges. They're a bit more expensive up front but last a long time, so I believe they're really more cost effective in the long run. Also, keep in mind HP OfficeJet cartridges have an expiration date. It should be printed on the box. I've never had a problem ordering through Amazon where I received "old" cartridges, or cartridges that would expire on the shelf before I could use them, but I always look at the expiration date when I buy new cartridges just to make sure. Don't stock up extra cartridges you won't be able to use before they expire. I hope this is helpful for you.

With my ip4200, which has the same cartridges, I found it was more economical to purchase a new printer at $65 than buy the 5 Canon replacement cartridges (lowest price about $75 delivered). The 4200 is no longer available so I will wait for the price of the ip4300 to dip below $75 and do the same thing. You pay the same for the ink and get a new printer for free.

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

Sorry, I threw the packaging away but it was in new HP packaging and I've been using it since I received it - no problems. I've never had a problem with the HP ink on Amazon.com and the prices are the best especially with Prime even better than Costco.

The product details on my packing slip say "Genuine HP 920 printhead for Officejet 6000 6500 6500A 7000 7500A Printer and All in one." Evidently, the "All in one" designation includes your HP Officejet 6500 All-In-One Printer - E709a. After receipt of the new printhead, I was alarmed by installation instructions which said the entire line of series 6000, 6500, 7000, & 7500 printers had been discontinued due to serious software and operations problems: 1) With no advance warning, the printer warns "printhead needs to be replaced" 2) The printer rejects the new printhead and will accept only the old one 3) If it accepts the new printhead, one or more colors won't print no matter what. Instructions say if any of these problems are encountered, they are unsolvable and the entire printer needs to be replaced. I was filled with dread after reading this notice, but thankfully did not encounter any of these problems after installing the new printhead. It worked perfectly on my HP Officejet 6500A Plus, and I have printed nearly four reams of paper without a repeat notice that "Printhead Needs To Be Replaced." Hope this helps!

Hi,You are correct. It was the best price I could choose for the set to be the lowest.There is no difference in the products/ They are all as pictured genuine HP in sealed retail HP boxes.You are better off buying the separately. Once they run out, I would raise the prices for the individual toners.Thanks,Ray
