![]() So, given that criteria, what printer would you suggest that would be in a similar price range? The 6520 seemed fair at $150 with what else was available at the local big box store. She doesn't need photo print, but needs a color printer/scanner combo - the scanner being the most important. The 6520 is the one that was purchased for an office user and is connected via USB to her desktop. I could switch it to USB on the main desktop and then just share the printer from windows I guess. It is the one that I have connected via wi-fi, which I did as there are several machines in the house we want to use it with. The 7520 was purchased for home use and will be used to print photos. On the other machine, the Pint and Scan Doctor just hangs. This is also the machine where everything was completely uninstalled, disk cleanup ran, reboot, HP software/driver re-installed - and still get the same error. The reboots have been performed multiple times and in different sequences with no effect. On one machine, it consistently stops with an error on Driver Check, and gives the solution as rebooting both the printer and the PC. I have followed their diagnostic steps, uninstalled/reinstalled, rebooted everything, again and again, etc., etc., with no success.Īny else run into these problems? Is there a solution besides returning these devices and avoiding HP consumer products? In both cases, they print fine, but neither can scan - constantly get a 'cannot establish communications' error. I've also purchased a Photosmart 7520 for home that I've connected to wi-fi. I've recently purchased a Photosmart 6520 for a user here in the office that I've connected directly via USB. I believe the 7520 has network-capabilities but for the life of me I'm drawing a blank right now. 7520 should be cabled via USB to the user's machine and the other 7520 should be cabled to your machine. If you are, then you have done both wrong. From the sounds of it, you're not doing photos. Honestly, it would probably be better to return them both. They are overpriced to buy and ESPECIALLY to maintain and their durability isn't that much better that it's worth it. Canon = BAD for any office color inkjets for non-photos. If the user needs color, and you are going to go cheap, at least get an Officejet if you like HP or a Workforce if you like Epson. The 6520 won't do the quality but you're spending a ton of money on ink. As far as I'm concerned, if you are doing photos, 7520 or nothing (in HP's Photosmart line). If they are, then good choice although the 7520 takes that 5th pigmented blacked exclusive for photos would have been a much better choice. On a separate and unrelated note, why in the world would you buy a 6520 for office use? Are they doing photos? I'm going to assume no. It should just pull the printer info and then use that connection but see if there are any manual settings that can be tweaked. Make sure that in the software it's setup to look to the correct input for scanning. I don't believe that one has network capabilities but can't remember 100% which is bugging me.įor the 7520, scanning over wifi is not usually very fast. It may be both on the printer and the software. I'm not 100% sure where you'd look on this. Those are ePrint machines are love to be all kinds of cloud connected. Ok, I have the 7520 (still in the box at home). (To be honest, at Staples, that's usually about what you can get it for anyways so that's a good sale but pretty standard on that machine) Anyways, hope that helps! For one user, this will do the trick and it's half price right now. It's designed for SMB although more S than M. The 4530 is a very cost-effective machine for its yield to price ratio and has everything you need. ![]() Color laser printers that are single function tend to be 150 minimum. 300 would be when it's on a crazy good sale too. Like I said, for business, lasers are definitely better but if it's one user who needs color and an MFP, not going to get a laser like that for less than 300. The second one is the same as the first but with a third paper tray and a touchscreen interface instead of all button based. For business I normally recommend laser but in your particular situation, this would be good. Very solid machine for your kind of situation. Finally, as far as a replacement, I give you a huzzah! ![]()
