Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not really dual tray

 

As with other HP printers, the print quality and speed is good. Most functions work as expected.

Technically, this printer has two paper trays, but the second tray is locked to photo paper only; can't be used for other material like envelopes or labels. Also, as with many consumer inkjet printers, seems to go through the ink quickly.

Great Printer - great price

 

This is a first time installation on Windows 8.1. I've a previous version of this model (6510) happily running under OS X, and have for several years. Output quality is VERY good if you use a 24# weight paper with a brightness of 94 or better.

If you're looking for a good "all around" inkjet printer this is the one. Air-print capable so you can print directly from an IOS device. e-Print capable so you can send emails to it. Setup was a breeze. Setup is accomplished right from the printer's...

Printer got here safe and dry

 

This one got here in 3 days nice and dry on the covered front porch as it should have the first time. Mad at the first one destroyed by shipper. Looked like it floated down the river and over the falls......NewEgg did come threw with a second one that...

Worked out of the box. Drivers went in Win 7 pro fine. Prints sharp and clear. All features work! A great deal as a re-certified one at about 1/2 price. Love it. for the few bucks extra got the insurance 2 year warranty.

Not one

delivered to wrong state

 

This one shows up after the second one has already arrived. It has been sitting in the rain until the box dissolved over it. Had to dry out for 3 days before I put it in a new dry box and shopped it back. Second one showed up fine. No one could say...

See next review on second one that did arrive.

HP 6520

 

Someone needs to invent a Linux ink operating style printer, Seems a shame this "designed obsolescence" society makes printers actually almost cheaper to replace whole system than just replace ink cartridge.

fast economical works well

ink prices as with most printers.

It works

 

Home user here who prints maybe 1 ream of paper every two months. This printer works right out of the box with Windows 8. That what I wanted and that's what happened. I am happy.

None so far but I'm sure when it's time to replace the ink cartridge(s) HP will exact their standard, exorbitant toll.

A real disapointment

 

Easy setup. WiFi setup was straight forward.

The printer worked for only 3 days. I had only printed 4 pages when it stopped printing in color. It would only print black and grey.

Customer is very happy!

 

I installed this for a customer of my computer repair business. She is a beginning computer user and seems to have no issue working the printer or scanner.

Very easy to use, high quality images, flawless installation

Can't seem to find any
