HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One

By M. David Stone (pcmag.com)

As one of the few inkjet all-in-ones (AIOs) aimed squarely at the small office, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One ($399.99 direct) stands apart from most inkjets. In fact, its combination of speed and office-centric features makes it less ...

Extraordinarily fast for business applications. High-quality graphics and photos. Low cost per page

Relatively slow for photos. Text quality merely par for an inkjet

If you're thinking of moving up to a color laser all-in-one (AIO), be sure to check out the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One as well.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 All-In-One Wireless

By Justin Yu (asia.cnet.com)

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-In-One Wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. Besides a touchscreen, the inkbox has also multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed.

Auto duplexer ; automatic document feeder ; easy-to-use 3.45-inch LCD touchscreen ; painless 802.11b/g wireless setup ; industry-leading print speeds ; excellent quality prints

Lacks autodial fax buttons, Bluetooth, and a dual paper input tray

The Pro 8500 retains the matte white and gray panels with a glossy black cockpit in the center that blends easily into a variety of decors

"Poorer Than Most Of Their Products"

"I am having problems."

By Esw88 (cnet.com)

It is surprisingly fast for an inkjet. Copies and faxes well with good resolution. The print copies are sharp. Support has been good so far, but I have to call about my two major problems, (see below)

Constantly tells me it is out of paper, when it clearly is not. Goes to sleep when not in use, (good), but often does not wake up when prompted (bad). I have to pull the plug to reset. Cant figure out how to get a fax confirmation page
