Aside from the drivers being junk (as has been said), my wife and I have the predecessor to the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One found here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/lxfa7l. Ours uses the 02 ink carts (same concept on this - 'cept the number is now 564) and I really prefer buying the individual ink colors that I use vs. buying a multi-color tub.
Sean Rector, MCSE 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 Information Technology Manager Virginia Opera Association E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: (757) 213-4548 (direct line) {+} Virginia Opera's 35th Anniversary Season<http://www.vaopera.org> The One You Love Celebrate with a 2009-2010 Subscription: La Boh?me<http://www.vaopera.org/html/currentoperas/opera1.cfm>, The Daughter of the Regiment<http://www.vaopera.org/html/currentoperas/opera2.cfm>, Don Giovanni<http://www.vaopera.org/html/currentoperas/opera3.cfm> and Porgy and BessSM<http://www.vaopera.org/html/currentoperas/opera4.cfm> Visit us online at www.vaopera.org<http://www.vaopera.org> or call 1-866-OPERA-VA The vision of Virginia Opera is to enrich lives through the powerful integration of music, voice and human drama ________________________________ This e-mail and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
