ePrint technology lets you print at your convenience using any email-capable device. Click here for a larger image
Print anytime, anywhere with HP ePrint 5 and any email enabled device
Print your documents on the go—without a PC—with HP ePrint.5 Use your email enabled device to print to the nearest web-connected printing device across the room or across town. And when you are in the office, the e-All-in-One offers apps that enable you to quickly access the internet, obtain documents, and print them faster and with less hassle—without using a PC. 4
Print from the web and mobile devices—PC free5
Create the crucial connection between your business and your documents. HP ePrint technology lets you print at your convenience using any internet-capable printing device. HP ePrint technology liberates printing from your home or office by allowing you to print content while traveling or simply out and about from your mobile phone, laptop, mobile device or any other email enabled device.
Because larger documents, presentations, and PDF files can be difficult to read on small, handheld device screens, you can print documents from your mobile device to read or take with you.
Ease
Easily print on the go using one of two methods:
1. Download the app (ePrint) from your provider and you're ready to print. Use your mobile device to locate the printing device closest to you. Then simply send your documents to a web-connected printing device and pick up the pages.
2. Attach your document to an email message. Forward that message to a web‑connected printing device from your email-capable device and collect your printed document.
Security
For further protection, HP offers you the option to place your printer in "protected" mode. This mode lets you limit access to your web-connected printer by creating a "preferred sender" list of the email addresses of family members, friends, business associates, or others that you allow to send email to your printer. Only email messages indicating they are sent from a preferred sender will be sent to your printer.
You can place your printer in protected mode and specify who is allowed to print to your printer by visiting www.hpeprintcenter.com and registering your printer. You also have the option to disable the ePrint service at any time.
To get started with ePrint, you simply need to press the Wireless button on the front panel of your HP web-connected printer, and select the Web Services menu. From here, you can turn the ePrint service on or off, view your printer‟s email address on the front-panel display, and print an information page (some updates may be required to enable certain functionality). For more detail, please see the Setup Guide included with your printer.
Duplex
Produce professional-looking two-sided documents without standing by the e-All-in-One and handling every page. Automatically scan, copy, or fax two-sided documents. Routinely printing documents on both sides reduces your printing costs, virtually doubles the device's input capacity, and makes paperwork more manageable.
Load documents and walk away. The e-All-in-One includes a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF). You can copy, scan, or fax up to legal-sized originals from the ADF, including two-sided document scanning. (Refer to the "Product walk-around" on the page to learn which options are available for this model.)
Add input capacity and replenish the paper tray less often by adding an additional 250-sheet input tray.
Change how you print with Web Connected Apps - No PC required
The e-All-in-One's easy-to-access features transform the way you use your printing device. Complete more tasks without your PC. Simply touch the screen to copy, scan, or fax documents—or select Apps to access the internet or obtain documents.3 Use the front-facing USB port or memory card slots to access saved documents or photos and print them quickly.
Touch, access, store, and print your business information in seconds
This HP web-enabled e-All-in-One includes apps that you can access from your device's touchscreen control panel.4 These apps are special print applications available exclusively to HP web-enabled printing devices.
Apps connect your device to the internet in an altogether new and seamless way. Choose from a growing library of apps that make printing faster, simpler, and more useful than ever. Access your documents and print them in one touch from your e-All-in-One. Use the apps to:
1. Keep commonly used business forms—invoices, contracts, receipts, and more—at your fingertips. Print them when you need them without a PC.
2. Store documents online—not on your PC. Easily scan and store your documents online, then access and print your documents when you need them.

The HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One series includes built-in wireless networking, so you can connect the e‑All‑in‑One directly to a Wi-Fi network without using an externalprint server. Wireless networking allows work teams with a wireless router and a notebook or desktop computer with a wireless card or adapter to print via a wireless connection—there's no need for a cable between the computer and the e‑All-in-One. And data travels quickly, at speeds up to 300 Mbps across distances of up to 100 feet (30.5 meters).6 The benefits that are unique to built-in wireless networking include: Increases mobility—Place the e-All-in-One anywhere in your wireless network environment.
Reduces cable clutter—Keep your office environment tidy and organized with fewer cables.
Simplifies relocation—Fewer cables make it easier to move equipment from one location to another. There's no need to purchase expensive networking cables or invest time installing networking wires.

Count on affordable printing
Original HP supplies
Ink is much more than just coloured water; the unique, hi-tech formula for HP ink is designed to work with all the mechanical parts of the print cartridge, and the printer itself, to deliver high quality results across a wide range of papers, in a variety of environmental conditions.
Why Original HP Inks?
It takes up to three years to develop new inks, so a huge amount of work goes into producing Original HP Inks, from the selection of superior ingredients to precision engineering of both the chemical formula of the ink and the high-performance ink cartridge components.
The print cartridge itself is the product of years of research and development and is much more than just an ink tank. The integrated print head on an HP cartridge includes an intelligent circuit that controls the hundreds of nozzles, each finer than a human hair, which deliver the ink onto the page. Each drop of ink is fired onto the page on the back of a tiny vapor blast of heat 7 times the intensity of the sun that lasts for just two millionths of a second; this energy blast exposes the ink drop to forces up to one million G's. Some of the latest Original HP ink cartridges can deliver in excess of 29 million drops per second.
In many of HP's home printers, over 50 percent of the printing technology is contained within the cartridge itself; which means every time you replace your Original HP Ink Cartridge you are installing a brand new print engine. Original HP Inks are developed in conjunction with HP papers to ensure maximum compatibility and performance. The result is the perfect balance of colour, permanence and reliability.
Value XL cartridges
For High Volume printing choose high capacity XL cartridges:
- Best Value for large volumes of printing
- More prints with fewer cartridges
- Up to 50 percent less cost per page with XL cartridges11
Officejet Value Pack
- Create professional-quality marketing material for less
- Print only what you need and when you need it
- Produce customer-specific marketing material

I set this up at the weekend and it's been great. To be honest, setting it up was a bit of a bore as it took an age to calibrate, align and clean (30ish minutes) and the software supplied to get it up and running with my Macs has been the easiest so far. Print quality is good, speed is much quicker than I have been used to (it's always easy to say it could be quicker) and wifi seems more reliable than my last HP wifi printer.
I've read reviews that the all-black style is a little industrial but personally I find it very modern yet unobtrusive in my office.
Worth a serious look if your in the market for a new printer.

A fantastic all in one printer from HP. However beware. The fax requires an analogue telephone line. HP were keen to tell me that the product does not work through a digital line. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! Come on HP everywhere is now digital. So does this mean that this product is not fit for purpose in the UK. If you speak to HP the answer is Yes however by purchasing a 2 pin RJ11 cable everything is suddenly OK. HP tells you not to use any other cable than that supplied!!!
As for the other features of this printer, I can't find a single fault. It looks good, printing speed very fast , photo quality prints excellent. One minus point is that the printer takes a while to check itself from time to time other than that all is good.

BRIEF REVIEW
Recommended.
Works a treat. Simple to install. Reliable (so far) and beats having a computer tied to a printer.
Downsides: large desktop foot print. Slow-ish to start. Print quality OK.
LONGER REVIEW
I did a stupid thing once I'd bought this printer. I read the reviews about it AFTER I'd paid for it!
I know, I know. That's not the way you're supposed to do it...
You're supposed to check out the reviews for a product and then use your red laser scanner on your smartphone to find the best price, ask all your friends on Facebook, send out a tweet, spend hours and hours online checking out all of the review sites and trawling around the forums to find out what people really think.
Only THEN are you supposed to buy the right product at the right price!
But I fell for a special deal and bought this machine on a whim.
And I'm glad I did.
Despite some of the negative reviews I (have now) read, the printer was very easy to set up and install. I had it working and 'speaking' with two laptops, one ipad and 2 smartphones in our home within about an hour of it being unwrapped.
The print quality is great. Not as detailed or as fine as say an high-end laser printer but it serves our general needs well. The ability to scan, photocopy and fax (who needs a fax these days?!) is also very welcome.
But it's the wonder of wifi-enabled printing that really does it for me. It's fantastic to be anywhere in the house and being able to send a photo, map or document to the printer anytime you want. And all without having to fiddle with memory cards or cables. Bliss!
Indeed, there's something strangely satisfying to hear the printer starting up within seconds of you zapping a file to the device.
So, I confidently recommend this printer to you.
However...
The only issues I have with it (and they're minor) is that it does seem to take a long time to start. And that it takes up a huge amount of space on my desk. The latter reason being, I feel, because of the way the paper tray juts out some distance from the main body of the machine.
Other than these niggles, I think it's a great machine.
It will probably break down on me now ;)

Downsides: large desktop foot print. Slow-ish to start. Print quality OK.
LONGER REVIEW
I did a stupid thing once I'd bought this printer. I read the reviews about it AFTER I'd paid for it!
I know, I know. That's not the way you're supposed to do it...
You're supposed to check out the reviews for a product and then use your red laser scanner on your smartphone to find the best price, ask all your friends on Facebook, send out a tweet, spend hours and hours online checking out all of the review sites and trawling around the forums to find out what people really think.
Only THEN are you supposed to buy the right product at the right price!
But I fell for a special deal and bought this machine on a whim.
And I'm glad I did.
Despite some of the negative reviews I (have now) read, the printer was very easy to set up and install. I had it working and 'speaking' with two laptops, one ipad and 2 smartphones in our home within about an hour of it being unwrapped.
The print quality is great. Not as detailed or as fine as say an high-end laser printer but it serves our general needs well. The ability to scan, photocopy and fax (who needs a fax these days?!) is also very welcome.
But it's the wonder of wifi-enabled printing that really does it for me. It's fantastic to be anywhere in the house and being able to send a photo, map or document to the printer anytime you want. And all without having to fiddle with memory cards or cables. Bliss!
Indeed, there's something strangely satisfying to hear the printer starting up within seconds of you zapping a file to the device.
So, I confidently recommend this printer to you.
However...
The only issues I have with it (and they're minor) is that it does seem to take a long time to start. And that it takes up a huge amount of space on my desk. The latter reason being, I feel, because of the way the paper tray juts out some distance from the main body of the machine.
Other than these niggles, I think it's a great machine.
It will probably break down on me now ;)

OK printing till it runs out of ink ...
The 8500 works well and prints fine but when the black ink suddenly became low it plainly refused to print at all, any colour. Just like mule it would not budge. Read more

Was recommend this all in one and I must say it is a first class product. I have used Epson printers for over 20 years and to be honest none have come close to this HP. Read more
