Had several HP printers and has always been very satisfied as well with this purchase. Do not need a network, or wireless, and have the HP 6500A is connected to the USB port. USB cable was not there, I could take over from the previous printer. Print results for text on standard inkjet paper class, very good for photos on photographic paper. Paper feed is working properly. Making copies or as PDF files via operation on the device or software on your PC is awesome and very fast. HP 6500A is now for 6 weeks in operation, I would buy immediately.
