HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One

Pros: this is a fast printer

Cons: This printer is a pretty big one - don't get it unless you have some extra real estate on your desk to spare

It's an ink hog. It seems to drink up the cyan especially.

The whole printer shuts down - no scanning or faxing if you have ANY error

Summary: We bought this for my husband's home business. I wanted to get a Konica Minolta laser because I've always had good luck with them. Even my husband admits this time that I was right.

From the very beginning this baby sucks up ink.

We also have never been able to get my computer linked in with this printer for scan capability. I can print to it, but I can't select my computer to send a scan to. We've never figured that one out.

But the biggie is that within 60 days of buying it, the printhead started having problems. Whenever there's an error message (even that one of your toner colors is empty) the whole machine shuts down. You can't fax, You can't scan. Nada. Customer service is sending us a new printhead since it's under warranty, but we'll be out of business for a week to 10 days. Thank goodness we have a backup Konica Minolta to pull out of the closet and dust off.
