I am looking for a new printer and have looked at the HP Color Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless e-All-in-One printer and also looked at the Epson WorkForce WF-3520 Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer. I am not sure if I am compareing apples with apples but I realy want to compare apples with apples, If anyone cand guild me in the right direction in which is the best All-in-One Printer in the $150 to $200.00 range. I know that the HP when on sale rans $150 so that is where I would like to stay with the sale price.

I like the HP Pro 8600 but would like to try a Epson Printer.

My question is which one gaves you the less amount of trouble?

Which printer gaves you the longest life on printing? You see I want the printer that you can get the best mileage out of the ink carturages.

My biggest question is which Epson compares with the HP Pro 8600.

Than we can move forward on the other questions.
 
I can't speak for the 8600, but I have the HP Officejet 6500. I have problems getting it to run print on both sides, although it's supposed to do that, but other than that, it's preformed up to snuff. I really like it. It's versatile and I've gotten a lot of use out of it. I've had it for a couple of years now, and I see it giving me several more years of service. I think the ink cartridges last a decent amount of time with convervative printing practices. My problem is, I like to print a lot - but I try to get my cartridges at Cartridge World, to decrease my print cost.

I don't know about the Epsons though.

I'm not sure if that helps you, but it's all I know for sure.
 
I have an Epson RX 620 printer. It is several years old. I would NEVER buy another one of them again. here's why. It takes 5 color cartridges and 1 black cartridge. It seems like I am CONSTANTLY buying ink at $15/ cartridge. The other thing I don't like is that even if I want to print a strictly text email type of document that is in black ink, the printer will NOT let you do it if one of the color cartridges is out of ink. I'm going to start printing in draft mode only to stretch my ink out a little.

I'm not saying all Epson's are like that because I don't know, but I will be buying something else next time.

Other than the ink problem it has been a good printer. No problems. I haven't even had an ink cartirdge dry out even when i haven't used it for awhile. My old HP printer used to have, had dried out ink cartridges all the time if it didn't get used frequently, but at least this Epson doesn't do that.
 
I have the HP 8000. Wouldnt change it for anything else.

Its not wireless but is networked via ethernet to the router.

No problems with it and seems to print forever.
