The 'print from anywhere' e-printing feature does look like it may be very useful to us as an alternative to fax for our international clients who often don't have access to or problems with successful overseas fax transmission. I can't comment on the wireless operation, as it's been our experience that wireless setup is tentative at best in our offices, subject to interference from other equipment we use, and even when working well comes with a major lag to prints actually starting, so we stick to hard-wired printer connection. We 'tested' installing one without removing the previous first, and the disc does not automatically do this or search and warn if one is found, so be sure you uninstall any pre-existing OJ Pro machines first to be safe. Setup goes very smoothly, though I was surprised to find no mention or warning to first removing any prior installed OJ Pro software (which has been an HP issue for a long time), and did find that it still can be. max.ģ) Another prime reason we chose the 8600 "Plus" version was the much larger touchscreen, 4.3" where the base 8600 model's screen is a mere 2.6" we found this to be very well worth the increased model cost. The 250 sheet capacity, too, has been troublesome, being far more reliable in paper feed if only filled to about 150 pg. It has not so far proven to make any improvement to the paper-pick roller sometimes slipping and getting a false 'out of paper' error in fact often having had to remove/shuffle stock/replace the drawer multiple times so far. While being more enclosed may be a benefit to less dust intrusion, we've quickly found it could really have benefitted by at least having a small, clear, 'viewing window' where you could see the paper level without need to pull out the drawer, and equally is a bit inconvenient for those times you need to print just a page or two using different stock. ![]() This does also raise question about the higher ink cartridge cost when the most sensitive and complex component, the printhead, is not integrated with the cartridge itself.Ģ) Then there's the paper tray, more aptly "drawer" in this case. So far we're very satisfied with their performance, but a few things did come as a surprise ġ) Part of why chosen was to get away from some of the past issues we've had with separate cartridge and printhead systems- there was no 'specific' mention ever found but the supply listings for 8600 models do not list any printheads, only cartridges, nor were printheads mentioned in any reviews on the web, but one quick look at a cartridge when installing tells you that the printhead is separate, and apparrently is now a fixed component of the carriage, so hopefully this will not turn out to be a troublesome feature. HP does it again- (whether in a good way or bad, only time will tell)Īfter much research, we chose the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus model as replacement for our existing OJ Pro L7590 printers. ![]()
