Very impressed so far!, 2010-02-05 It was with a bit trepidation that I bought this printer. Some of the reviews I read were not great, my past experience of HP printers have not been great. However, I liked the look of the product, it has everything I want/need, and the price was more than tempting!
I've only had it a couple of days, but I have to say I'm very impressed so far. It was extremely easy to set up - I set it up on a Windows 7 laptop, a Vista desktop and a Mac Powerbook G4. The only problems I had were with the Windows 7 machine and that due to Windows 7 software not being on the CD that came with the printer. However after a few minutes on google and the internet I managed to download the entire HP software for Windows 7 and installed it without issue.
So far I've been impressed with the print quality and it's speed. It feels and looks sturdy and all the features seem to work perfectly (haven't used fax yet though!).
I'd have no problems recommending it to anyone I know.

HP Officejet 6500 wireless, 2010-02-10 HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Multifunction All-in-One Printer, Copier, Scanner and Fax
Purchased £97.86 9/1/2010 & delivered on 3rd day, using the free 3-5 day delivery.
well contstructed good value for money as scans & prints in colour can fax in B&W or colour & fairly easy to set up with PC so all incoming faxes copied to PC.
Faxing out can be via printer keypad or directly from PC via the printer with software supplied.
Cut sheet feeder works well & on multple scanning software recognises page breaks immediately without messing around afterwards with image on screen to set up each page area (as on my HP Photosmart 2575 before).
After each print run the machine does seem to have quite a lot of clicking & whiring noises as it sets itself up ready for next print run which is a bit annoying if you are sitting next to the printer - but bearable.
It also has a duplex unit to print back & front of page although I have yet to test this facility.
The couple of times I have had a paper jam, it has simply been a matter of unclipping the 'duplix' unit from the back of the machine & taking out the paper.
Cartridges seem tiny but separate black plus 3 x individual colour cartidges. Apparently the initial cartridges are low volume starter ones. But having said that I got my first low ink warning after 30 days use yesterday, but have yet to change the cartridge over & still going.
This printer is wireless but not clear from the spec is it also comes network ready so can be plugged straight into your router with a suitable cable if you wish.
Only problems were: instruction booklet supplied on assembly & fax set up could be a little clearer. Plus you are supposed to load the CDrom supplied to PC before connecting printer, which works fine, but since then I have had some blue screen crashes (XP) when I plug in via USB another HPLJ1022. Screen indicates may be a faulty driver (so may be unrelated but was fine before!).

HP Officejet 6500, 2010-03-08 Although I'm using a HP PC there is no HP Solution Center for the Officejet 6500 on a PC running Windows 7 64bit so no fax and no scanning at this point in time. Also, saddly the printer supplied is a USA printer and defaults are all to Letter rather than A4 so there is a bit of extra work involved if you want all the Printing Preferences ect to be for A4.
