I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless and really like it. The ink lasts forever. The depplex mode works well - it can be slow if you are printing at a high quality - for everyday stuff the draft mode is fine and dries really quickly. Costco has put these on massive sale a couple times in the last few months...

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/> ~
