In fact, a "jack of all trades", as one of the previous reviewers wrote! But first things first .. Friday afternoon 16.00 clock with UPS ordered 12 clock Express, Saturday delivered 11.30 clock. Amazon just! Unwrapped, cartridges pure. According to the description it can be established only with the supplied setup cartridges. Has been identified in the LAN immediately, my son has printed his Mac immediately without software installation! Wireless I have not tested, software CD in my laptop Win 8, after a few minutes I was able to test. Prints very quickly. And clean! Duplexing Duplex Scan Duplex Copy Also directly on my USB hard drive connected to the Fritz box. This he immediately recognized and proposed as a storage medium. ePrint established, could be easy. Now I can leave Print from anywhere my documents immediately, nothing is forgotten more! And by HP app I can also print directly from your phone.
The size should take a closer look who buy this device is first. I had an HP Officejet 5600 (also a very good device, but no LAN or WLAN, no ePrint). The need (felt) only half the space. So the 8600 is not a device that can accommodates discreetly in the living room. But he is also not designed.
All in all, a strong buy recommendation for people who can take advantage of him or want!
Edit on 31/01/15: The device now for almost 14 months working without a single failure! Today I changed the setup cartridge to No Name cartridges. Were adopted without objection. Just a note: "Not Original HP, no guarantee!" The occasional reviews that the setup cartridges are quickly empty, I can not confirm. Lt my printer report I have therefore today 1325 pages black and 917 pages printed in color. This is a very decent value. So still a 5 star strong buy recommendation!
