Awful, awful stuff. That said, my mother in law has one and it works pretty much all the time. If you do go with an HP, step through the installation manually and install as little of the crud as possible. Just my $.02 RS From: Mike Gill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 3:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SOHO MFP Printer Questions This is a printer for my mom type question. She needs an MFP with FAX and wireless capabilities. I've been looking online and narrowed my list to an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 or the Epson WorkForce 600. I'm wondering if anyone here uses one of these at home, or set up a similar model for anyone. I just need this thing to work and be easy to use. It will be used wirelessly, so I need to make sure when she brings her laptop out to the office the printer picks and works without fuss. If anyone can add their experience I would like to hear it, or if there is another unit they like a lot in the $200 to $250 range. One thing that bugs me about the Epson is apparently you can't even print black if one of the color carts is out of ink. I don't know if the HP has this problem. -- Mike Gill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
