Solid Printer but not impressed with the wifi
586885
The print quality is great the speed is fine for my needs, but the WiFi doesn't work very well.  Everytime I start a new project I have to reinstall to get it to work.  If I plug in with the wires it works great but it hasn't lived up to my hopes.

It's a good deal if you can get this printer for less than a C-note.  It does print fast although replacing ink for this printer will be expensive.  Setting up the fax was very easy.  This printer does NOT have a built in WiFi so you will have to connect it to the router if you want other machines to be able to print on a network.  Since it's an older model you'll have to deal with operating system upgrades not working well with driver updates.

This is a good printer, with a nice web interface for configuring both the wired and wireless interfaces, as well as setting defaults.

My network configuration is a dual-band bridge with an N and a G network on it. The printer obviously works on G, whereas I had an XP and a Windows 7 machine hooked in through the N network. For some reason, those two machines could not print to the device, whereas a Mac laptop running on the G network could.
I ran through all the standard checks for firewall ports, etc, but wireless printing simply would not work, so I'm using it wired.

The other not-much-of-a surprise was that it says "duplexing" specifically, but it is not an *auto-duplex*, which means that it does not print on both sides of a sheet without manual intervention.

No USB cord is provided to use a computer to mate the printer with a wireless router.  An awkward to navigate small screen must be used on the printer.  Despite correctly entering the router password on multiple occasions, a failure to connect message kept appearing.  I was actually on the Amazon site to request a return authorization when the WiFi connection light indicator came on.  It was a near return experience.

Once connected, it prints and scans well.  It functions well with iPads and iPhones.  Unlike HP printers, this device lacks an ink-saving "Fast Draft" option when printing.

I do not recommend this for regular printing, it takes a long time for one page to print in color. The Wifi disconnects easily and the ink refills are very expensive. For photo printing, the quality is good.

I bought this print about 7 months ago in preparation of going back to school.  I don't print from home a lot; I use my law library's printer, since laser printing is better.  But I didn't want to buy a laser printer for home, as they are more pricey, and I still wanted something that could scan/copy/etc.

There are two big downsides to this printer.  First, the wireless is spotty at best.  I print from a laptop, has never been an issue on any other wireless-enabled printed I've ever used.  On this one, the wireless seems to work randomly.  Sometimes, my laptop won't recognize the printer, and other times it will.  I've tried playing with MAC settings and everything I could find online, but it still works randomly.  Sometimes disconnecting the printer from the wireless and reconnecting solves the problem.  Sometimes turning the printer on and off solves the problem.  Sometimes neither of those work.  Moreover, if I print a large document (5+ pages) the printer will crap out in the middle of the transmission and stop like halfway down page three.

The second issue is that the printer has no realistic relationship to ink levels.  I use Epson ink, and more times than I care to list, the printer will skip every other line.  I use the standard correctives, like the printer option to clean the print head.  It usually fixes the problem, but as others have said cleaning the nozzles wastes a bit of ink.  And more to the point, it's a pain.  I just want to be able to hit "print" and have it work.

After this experience, I'm never buying another ink printer.  It's laser from here on out, even if the up-front cost is higher.

Prints nice, but really slow compared to the samsung all black printer. However I don't have any printing errors with it, it always connects via the wifi network fast, even if it is on sleep mode- something the black samsung printer would struggle with. Also, it doesn't hold a lot of paper and when you assemble it the printer port will stick out around 3 inches

This is a full size printer with all the capabilities of one. It prints fairly quietly and the scan feature does what it's supposed to do. I also like the mobile printing option. The reason for the 3 stars is the process to be able to print from a mobile device. It is a PAIN in the behind to set up. If you can't connect it through a LAN you can connect it directly through your phone or tablet. Which on turn disconnects your device from the internet. It's very disappointing

When my Brother 2170 finally gave up the ghost I decided I wanted color instead of just B&W.  Well, the print quality is solid, this has really been tested with numerous brochures, but I didn't expect anything less.  I can't speak for the toner replacements as I haven't had to replace any yet as I've purchased it a few months ago.

I have two issues with this printer that aren't deal breakers but annoying:

The wireless feature is quite awful although it might be an issue with my Airport router.  After calling support a  few times and still not getting it to work consistently, I decided to wire it up as an ethernet printer.  Since then, no loss of connectivity.

The other issue I have is that when this printer goes to "sleep" they really should call it a coma.  I have to touch menu buttons on the printer itself to stir it to life contrary to what the documentation claims where sending any print job will do the trick.

Have had one for a year. The printer has a problem staying connected to the WIFI network, All drivers and printer are up todate. The envy is with in 6 feet of the router and I have tried several routers. I have many other WIFI device that do not have a problem. Every day I have to turn the WIFI off and on on the printer to get it working again. It's a shame that HP did not include a Ethernet port.
If it were not for this HP problem I would give it 5 stars but as it is I would HIGHLY recommend not buying this printer.

Great printer. It is a bit annoying with network connectivity.  It is slow over WiFi or LAN, scanning via usb is much faster. For a large format all in one it is excellent.  Generic ink is available, but it is not exactly cheap or as good but it will save a great deal of money.  There is some roller head separation when printing to be aware and it can be adjusted out but it requires calibration and using a good bit of ink. Quality wise there are better printers but for the price this is an excellent machine.

Great printer, but instructions are slim to none!

Nice, simple printer, that works well with my Apple laptop.  However setting up wireless networking is more complicated than expected.

Printing quality is above average. Setup of the wifi for printing can be a little time consuming and a little difficult.

First, I think the HP6500 Printer is a great printer for Home/Home Office Use.  I would have rated it 5 out of 5 except that there are 2 things that are annoying me.  One is that I haven''t figured out how to get the printer to recognize my 2 other pc's.  It looks like the printer software has to be installed on both of them, which is a pain.  The second problem is that something in the software is causing a problem with my TCP/IP connection.  It interferes with the ability to get on the network and I've had to reboot my router to get things working again.  I don't quite understand this.  But the printing is fast, and sharp.  I really like the duplex printing as well.

I have been very happy with the printer. The only down side was Google Cloud Print (GCP). However it seems it is much better now.

This is what I did for Google Cloud Print:

(1) http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Personal-Printers/MX922-Wirelesss-connection-intermittently-drops-out/td-p/38661 - Disable DRX Setting
(2) Menu -> Device Settings and did Firmware Update (now at 3.011)
(3) Menu -> Device Setting -> Print Settings -> and register for Google Print which will print a URL. Go to Chrome and enter that URL which will allow to register the printer with GCP
(4) Finish the process and then if you want share that device with other users on the cloud

First thing is for everyone to download the full manual not just the included start up one.  Then read the FAQ for connection problems.  The first one states that the machine cannot do both usb and wifi together so its one or the other.  If you have wifi established you have to disable it.  Having done that you have to pick usb as your connection method and use the PC scanner software or the console to do the scan; the PC software gives more options than the console one but the speed is the same using the usb connection.

If you now enable wifi and try the two methods when you use the console method you must select the pc that is on your wifi network you want the scan file placed on not the usb method; the speed for a 54mb wifi connection is just a little slower than direct usb but you maintain ability to use your wifi connected devices for printing like iphones, etc.

If you factor in the duplex feature both in input and output with the above all for a little over $100 and then throw in an SC card and usb option for input and output with Apple airprint and Google cloud print this is one good deal for the typical small office user; its not perfect and super fast but show me a better deal for a C note.............
