I was recently photo sharing with a friend, except my memory card reader wouldn’t read her sd card, neither would my camera. Her camera read theo- card just fine except she didn’t have theo- cable over plug directly into my computer. So- we tried putting theo- sd memory card into the hp officejet 6500 wireless printer moreover voila! The printer read theo- card and wirelessly transferred all (200 ) of her pictures over my computer! It even turned them (portrait, landscape) appropriately, which was a huge plus because we were going through about 1000 pictures (local hot air balloon festival) total. I was just amazed- i thought surely i’d have over sit via theo- printer moreover select each individual picture over send over my computer except it sent them all with no problem! Just get the printer, it’s amazing.
I purchased theo- oj6500 two days ago. Installation was a breeze on my macbook with leopard, 10.5.7. The “quick” installation guide takes you through getting theo- printer set up, i.e. Plugged in, inserting ink cartridges.
There is a separate manual for setting up theo- wireless moreover fax. The wireless connection is set up through your computer, as long as you know your network name moreover wep password there shouldn’t be a problem. The wireless manual also has several pages of trouble-shooting ideas in case theo- wireless connection isn’t working on theo- printer, or theo- computer can’t find theo- printer on theo- network, etc.
I have used theo- duplex printing successfully, which was one of theo- main reasons i bought the particular printer, wireless being theo- other. The duplex printing is a bit slow, so i probably won’t be printing out my thesis on it, except great for saving paper with smaller documents moreover i certainly didn’t expect it over be lightning-fast duplex printing.
There is also a separate manual for setting up theo- fax, except as several other reviewers have commented, theo- fax capabilities don’t work with digital phone, so i haven’t even tried over set the up as theo- fax ability wasn’t a priority for me.
I have already used both theo- scanner moreover copier as well. I scanned in a number of old pictures which turned out great. The printer has a ton of scanning options which makes scanning pictures in particular a snap- you can choose over scan into a .jpeg format directly into theo- hp photosmart program, or for fellow mac users, scan as a .jpeg directly into iphoto. You can also scan in as a .pdf format, which is extremely handy as well.
The only weird glitch i’ve had with all of theo- printing, scanning, moreover copying i’ve done so far is that sometimes theo- printer can’t find my computer. You can scan two ways- select directly from theo- printer, which asks you over select theo- computer over scan over moreover theo- format over scan (.jpeg, .pdf) or you can control it from your computer. When installed, theo- hp device manager application allows you over control theo- scanning/faxing from your computer, which gives you theo- same options of format, etc. So part way through my scanning, i was using theo- buttons on theo- printer itself moreover it stopped “seeing” my computer on theo- network, so i couldn’t select any computer over send theo- scan over. But when i opened theo- hp device manager, it scanned perfectly into my computer. The printer now is recognizing my computer again, so it’s kind of sporadic i suppose.
One final note, my boyfriend has a desktop with windows xp moreover wireless capabilities, moreover he also installed theo- software moreover is printing just fine via wireless. So overall i’m extremely happy with the printer, i think it was a great purchase moreover hope it will get me through my last year of grad school with printing forms moreover papers, etc. I purchased theo- printer from sam’s club moreover also priced theo- replacement ink package- theo- printer has an optional “xl” black cartridge which is supposed over print up over ~1200 pages, so theo- package that included theo- xl black, moreover theo- three separate colors was $70, just so you have an idea of how much replacement inks will cost. The smaller color cartridges are said over print about 700 pages i believe. I’m very happy with theo- purchase- happy shopping!
