Stop is also the question of what you need the printer. I need him only a few times a month and prints mostly ordinary black and white texts, but the Envy was good enough! Here I think it's great that it also prints double-sided, could not my age!
I've tried all the features copy is also possible when the printer is not connected to the computer, color printing has convinced me color, but consumes course oodles ink while scanning you can even select the device, whether the finished scan in PDF or JPEG on to land the computer. I especially appreciate also that the finished scan automatically lands in their own documents and are not a separate folder for generated by the system.
Operation of the printer is simple, the menu has in my version not have a touchscreen, but I also do not need, is also thus not very time consuming.
By design, convince me that chic black and the flat shape of the printer very. I felt him to be surprisingly difficult (unlike the old one, which was a slightly smaller multifunction printers), but he also seems to me sound processed and to be stable. Just on top of the lid to load documents for scanning or copying, it seems to me what shaky, but good, because it will not fail.
I close the printer via USB cable to my computer on (of course not included), wireless connection does not work with me. But has already not worked out with the old, is probably due to my not quite current Arcor Easy Box A 600 WLAN. My smartphone does not recognize the well. If anyone also have these Rooter and have managed to connect via WLAN, please contact me and tell me how to do it! :) The usual stuff like this MAC address setting or WPA settings I've all been through, brings nothing.
I also expect from this unit not think it will last forever, but for now I am very happy and looking forward to some good years with the Envy 4500!
