+++ +++ BREAKING NEWS 2016: HP is first to ship the printer driver on Blue-Ray from +++ BREAKING NEWS +++

The review relates to the HP Officejet 4500 G510, which is the version without wireless but with Ethernet.
The printer I have set for my mother, so can only report limited on the use in everyday, but something about the installation, setup and first impression.

Driver installation is catastrophic: Either one chooses the 127MB big "HP Basic Driver" or the 314MB Large Officejet software for all functions package. Nowhere on the website nor in the installer is explained in which the now is the difference, that is a qualified decision about what I install since it is not possible.

"Allow all HP processes: Allow the continuation of all HP programs to ensure that during the installation can be displayed warnings."
It then goes on when you install the base driver package, which even then required almost 300MB disk space during installation. The installer gives me no option of adjusting the components of the driver (such as scanners, printers) I want to install exactly. The full installation requires nearly a gigabyte (!) On the hard drive.

+ Speed
+ Ethernet
+ Print quality

- Driver Installation (-sgroesse)
- General Operation for laymen not understand (How to set up fax forwarding to compute a?), Menuefuehrung opaque, a scheme would help
- Email inquiries will be answered with regard to fee-based hotline

In the end it is a budget One device. Nevertheless, there can not be any, that one of the Druckermarktfuehrer fails to produce apparatus for its use and setup you have to be an advanced computer user. Why must the complete driver installation a scarce GB swallow and why the user is still patronized by Druckpatronenmonopolismus?
