    Good Quality Prints

    • Written by from SAINT JOSEPH

    I have now had the HP Photosmart 6520 for about a month and am very pleased with its performance. I have printed several 8x10 photos that I have framed and placed in various locations in my home. As a semi-professional photographer, photo quality is very high on my list of expectations.

    I currently have my HP Photosmart 6520 connected to an iMac via wifi. Because it is an e-printer I am also able to print from my iPad and that has been a great capability when I want to print a hard copy of what I am reading.

    As a word of advice - use the high capacity ink cartridges. Quick and easy to remove and replace cartridges.     …More

    Best home printer ever.

    • Written by from Atascadero

    I've owned a lot of home printers. The HP Photosmart 6520e-All-in-One is hands down the best for our needs. From multiple devices, from multiple locations, it's never missed a beat...It should be in the 'Workforce" line of HP printers.
    As far as ink usage? Much better than average, but I do recommend buying the XL. Then you don't need to worry about it for awhile.

    If your in the market for a great home printer? Buy this one!     …More

    Avoid HP

    • Written by from Derry

    HP is great when running with PC's. The printer is great when you plug directly into it. The wireless is a constant fail. Everytime I need to print it's a project to get the MacBookPro and the printer to talk without plugging in via usb. I have given up all hope after another evening of fighting and have bought an Epson which all my Mac/Apple peeps say works everytime. Sorry HP. …More

    Very Disappointing

    • Written by from Berlin

    I looked at the reviews when I ordered this printer/scanner. One review said the scanner didn't work. I call Apple and asked if I should be concerned with this problem. They assured me it would not be a problem. I received the printer/scanner yesterday and set it up the wireless scanner from the computer to scanner worked great today it's getting hung up and freezes my computer and I have to reboot. The HP help tells you to run the HP utility to make sure the network is "good" and not coming back with an "unknown" status. I have a good status and it still gets hung up. I will call Apple to find out about the return policy. …More

    Answer

    The printer has to be connected to a wireless network and your iPad has to be connected to that same network. You can't have wireless internet without a wireless router...unless you're using some other hotspot feature that provides wireless internet via cellular technology or something like that in which case both devices would still need to be connected to that network. …More

    Answer

    Air printing is wifi printing. Apple calls it air print but it means the same just different words.
    You send your printing over wifi via a router from your iPad iPhone computer or laptop. To your printer. No cables needed.
    And yes you will need to have a wifi router of some sort. Weather your internet be wireless like verizon or cable Internet the routers still needs to be wifi.
    Verizon wireless mifi jet pack will work as your router.
    Hope this helps.     …More
