About The Product:
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer can print, scan and fax over a network or it can work as a stand-alone copier, fax machine or email sender.  It is perfect all-in-one printer for a small office or even in your home where several computers operate from different points. You don't need to attach one printer per PC unit since this one has wireless capability for network printing.

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One comes with great user-friendly, time saving features such as a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) which totally eliminates the hassle of having to manually feed and turn over each page for back-to-back scan jobs. And it works the same way for print, fax and email functions, so you simply have to select if you want to do one or two sided printing, fax or email document sending! And you can do all these jobs either from your PC or directly on the printer until itself. Copy quality is good enough to make outputs almost indistinguishable from the original, and both grayscale and color printing are superb in the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One.

Customer Feedback-

"
The size is still small enough yet feature packed. Having duplex capability (printing on both sides of paper) is now used quite often and saves paper, the environment, etc. And, having to load paper less due to the large paper tray is very nice too."

"This machine is very fast at printing. Multiple pages combined with black and white and colors throughout a document don't slow it down. The color and clarity of the print is on par with a laser jet... Not having had a copy or scanning capability before I was looking forward to that feature. I'm impressed! You drop a couple of pages in the tray and tell it to scan to your computer or conduct a scan and email, yes you read that right, email it to someone right from the 8500, it does a fantastic job."

"The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touch screen, multiple networking options, and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award."

"
This printer is fast, highly functional and most importantly, saves money. It is cheaper to run than a laser printer with ink and energy and doesn't carry the hefty price tag. Much better than the photosmart premium that is the "apple pick" which I also own. The extra $100 will be paid for by the big ink savings, this model claims do 2400 prints on one cartridge!"
