Reviews for HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One

I replaced my Samsung laser jet with this printer. It was better to replace with a new all in one ink jet because of the cost of the laser cartridges. The quality of the print is good. I love the AirPrint feature as I have 2 iPads and one iPhone. This printer does it all and is great for home use. Very easy to set up. I run desktops with Mac OSX and Win 7. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a great value in an all in one printer.

I bought two of these in the last two days, one for home and one for our property manager. The home one replaced a 7-year old Epson inkjet printer/scanner. The 8600 is heavy, it weighs 25 lbs!

It took about 20-30 minutes to setup each Pro 8600. They are connected wirelessly to a Linksys E4200 at home and an E2500 at the office. I have had no trouble with scanning files, printing, etc. The duplexer works just fine. I have used "cheapo" 24 lb inkjet paper and 20 lb general purpose laser paper with no problems.

The office 8600 is at about 50 feet from the E2500 router and there are 5 interior drywall partition walls separating them. AirPrint from my iPad 3 works great.

I have learned over the years that the installation of HP (and Brother) printers is easy if you follow the instructions step-by-step. You cannot get creative. Just follow the 8600's on-screen instructions for the initial setup then load the DVD and follow the instructions step-by-step. I have had to "fix" a number of computers where the owner didn't follow the instructions.

Oh, by the way, both printers are connected to PCs, one Win 7 Home Premium and the other XP Pro.

Problems, problems, problems! Works perfectly with my IMAC Mac OS X 10.7.3, but not at all with my Macbook Pro OS X 10.7.4. I have had one of the best MAC certified technician trying to fix it with no success. We are waiting in line at HP trying to get some support. There's got to be someone who know's how to fix this???

HP's OfficeJet Pro 8600 eAIO is definitely a Mac OSX Lion-compatible, multifunction printer.

Just follow the Start Sheet instructions. They make the setup easy. Our included DVD has the latest Lion-version software that is listed on HP's support website. We installed, used the Wizard, and were able to wirelessly print from an iMac & MacBookPro. Our iPad & iPad2 printed directly via Apple AirPrint. We did not try HP ePrint. Only the power cord and phone line (for fax) are attached.

We did have to download and install a Scan Patch for Lion from the HP website. Printing, copying, faxing, and scanning all "just work".

I purchased this elsewhere a few days ago for fifty dollars less than listed here. I had it set up and running on and iPhone, iTouch, Macbook, iMac, and an HP PC in 20 min. Operation is very intuitive, fast, quiet. It looks great, very sleek and clean. I love the fact that the only wires are for power and a phone line Seems more solidly built than any other HP printer that I have owned. This really compliments the apple products we own.

I had no trouble setting up this printer on three PCs and a iPhone and iPad. If you use the software provided it is a snap. The unit has a ton of features and it is perfect for the gadget guy. The apps are an extra bonus. I Iike the machine and would recommend it.

up and down for no reason, so not working. don't buy this product!

I have had this printer since the model was introduced and I rate it 5 stars.

My computer is a Mac Book Pro and I have an iPad and iPhone 5.

This HP system drivers are always updated whenever a new OS comes out.

The HP customer service is always there for me, not that I call often!

The most amazing thing is the E print, from where ever I am. I can be sitting in my car or an airport and print something to my home printer. How great is that!

I've had this printer for over a year now and it's been trouble free. I can print to it from my iPhone and iPad as well as a laptop and iMac. It is totally wireless working off an Airport Extreme router (but not hardwired to it). When I first got it I subscribed (free) to some of the apps HP offers, but realized I was using a lot of paper and ink when some of them printed out daily. Now I just turn them on (crossword puzzles and recipes) occasionally. It takes a bit of setting up and the manual is meager. But the online info makes up for that. You have to explore the scan app to fine tune it to scan the type of item you are using - photo, doc, etc. But once you learn all that's available you can use all its features to the max. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's definitely for those who are willing to put some time in to explore what it can do. Otherwise, you can probably find a featureless all-in-one that will just "plug and play." I think that those who've had trouble are those who have not taken time to read and follow ALL the directions. You're getting a lot with this printer.
