Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

  • Problems printing to HP officejet 6500A plus e-All-in-one printer e710n

    Hi,
    I am struggling to print to my " HP officejet 6500A plus e-All-in-one printer e710n". According to the setup network test (Wireless network test report), everything is successful (status "PASS" for all fields).  I also checked that the IP configured is the same as the IP displayed on the printer when i push the wireless button (updated via "Update IP address").
    I have a laptops as well as netbooks connected to the wireless network. All these devices could previously print, however now none of them can. When i run the diagnostics (both the standard trouble shooter, as well as the one from microsoft when clicking on the fixit option), no problems are detected. When checking the device manager, i can see no conflicts.
    When i open the printer control panel and click on "Customize your printer" and then go to "Ports" and click on  the "configure port" option, i get an error "An error occurred during port configuration. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007b).".
    Please assist with any suggestions.

    I was able to resolve the problem.
    I reinstalled the printer on one of my other laptops (this might have cleared up an error on the printer). I think the true problem is related to the fact that we left the printer on, we've started switching it off when not in use. Even though it goes into sleep mode, it seems to cause problems over time if not switched off on the printer itself. 
    The basics i did was check the network connection, printed a status of the network connectivity (you can do that from your control panel on the printer). If the network looks good, then try leaving your printer off for an hour or so, if that doesn't work, try reinstalling the printer on your device and start switching it off after use. I know it sounds crazy, but that's what i've been doing and haven't had a problem since.
    It was a strange problem, in some cases i wasn't able to see the printer from devices that previously could, when the devices that could see the printer tried to print, it would print okay for a few pages and then start printing garbage, followed by failing completely and cancelling the print. When this happened there would be an error on the device saying it cannot connect to the printer, even though it could at the start of print.

    No Problem. Is everything working now or this tool only removed the HP software? If so, then try downloading the full feature software to see if this fails or not here. Please choose your correct operating system; Either 32 bit or 64 bit. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n wireless print and web app problem

    We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-all-in-one Printer - E710n and run Windows 7 on our laptop.
    I have run the wirelss setup wizard and have successfully connected the printer to the router, and both the laptop and printer are on the same network and have identical SSID.
    However, we can not send any prints the printer wirelessly. We have to hook it up to the USB to do so. We are also unable to access our web apps; pressing the app button on the printer control panel brings up the following:
    "Connection error. The printer was unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and try again."
    I have run through the suggested solutions under "A Network Connected Printer Cannot Access Print Apps, Web Services, or ePrint" in the customer care help centre which didn't work, although when I tried to enter the IP address under IPv4 into the browser address bar it timed out. I tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, but it returns a result that suggests everything is fine.
    I turned off the firewall and tried again with no luck.
    I really am at a loss now. Diagnostics say it should work, but it doesn't. Help!

    Disable Bitdefender altogeher and try again.

  • HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus e All in One Printer E710n-z

    I have the HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus E710n-z series for All-In-One Printer.  I lost my driver software disk together with the PC computer that had the  software driver installed in it.
    I now have the Printer and my current PC ( which is using Wins 7 Home Premium 64-bit Operating System).
    I have found the download link for the driver software from HP website and from the internet.Each time I download the driver software, there was a "cancel" or "unable to proceed" message at the almost end of the download process. I was told to "retry".
    My humble request is to have the driver software files so that I can install the driver and operate the printer. My PC is functioning as it can detect correctly the Printer with its correct name and model.
    I donot know the problems. Is it a virus?
    Alternatively, I greatly appreciate if you could email to me the driver software files.( Please use Google Cloud if the files are too big). 
    Thank you for helping me.
    Best regards.

    Since you have 10.10, you will first need to install this: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X. With that installed, follow the steps to add a printer here: Installing Your HP Printer Driver and Software for Mac OS X.

  • Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n Sharing without a homegroup

    Hi,
    I have a HP netbook DV7 with Windows 7. A Dell 15R 5520 (the last of the netbooks) with Windows 7 and a HP 6500A all in one printer. I would like to use the printer on both computer wirelessly without creating a homegroup. Is this possible? If so I would appreciate any help on the setup.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    As long as printer is connected to a router and has a valid IP address, computers connected to the router will be able to access the printer even if there 2 or more computers connected to the router.

  • HELP!!!! HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n - will not stay online

    I have 2 desk tops a net book and a lap top connected to it and all test printed fine and then after a period of time the printer goes off line and then it will not work.  I can restart the printer and it still will not work.  The router does not even "see it" although it can ping it...???  I have reinstalled software and restored factory settings... I tried saving the IP that did not help.  It is brand new and I checked and it has the most recent firmware updates.  I have run network test reports and all is fine.  I tried an HP print diagnostic and it can't see the printer.  I got it to work temporarily after completing a router reboot, but now that is not working either.  I just bought this today and I have spent the last 5 hours researching and troubleshooting.  I am not overly tech savvy and I have exhausted my knowledge base and the info suggested on blogs and fix it sites. 
    I was replacing my hp all in one wired printer that the print head just went out on after only a little over a year.  I don't know if I need to return this printer or if there is a magic fix??? Please help!

  • Will my hp officejet 6500a plus (e-all-in-one printer - e710n) be able to handle 14pt C2S paper?

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n, Driver cannot download

    The driver stops downloading part way. Tried many browsers

    joshuawkj,
    I am sorry you are having an issue with downloading the drivers. I would check with your Internet provider since this seems to only be happening on your PC. Your Internet could be dropping the connection, if even for a millisecond or a few seconds. Any drop in connection can cause downloads to fail.
    I hope this helps

  • HP Office Jet J6480 All In One - will not scan with Mac OS 10.8 .3

    I have been unable to get my HP Office Jet J6480 All In One to scan after upgrading to 10.8.3.I have followed other posts and have installed the most up to date driver (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) but each time i try to scan from the HP device manager or the photosmart studio, it says "Sorry, scanner could not be intialized. (scanner not found)"  I have tried making sure there are no other updates by clicking on settings in the device manager and clicking check for updates but it tells me "server not availalbe - the software service is currently not available. please try again later" and i have gotten this error for the last week.
    I followed the second set of instructions found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Software-Update-Server-Unavailable/td-p/18... to try to resolve that issue and have installed the software found at the link. I rebooted my computer and am still having the same problem.
    Note: My printer is wireless and i have not hooked it up via a cord. Will that make a difference?
    My printer seems to be printing fine.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Try scanning from your Mac.  Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom.  Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

  • HP Envy 5530 e-all-in-one Does Not Work With Mac

    Just bought an HP Envy 5530 all-in-one. It does not print through Safari and possibly other Mac applications. Does not frame the page properly even with "print page" and prints slower  than 1 page per minute, even with no background images. My old HP had no problem with Safari. Phone support tells me there is no driver or fix. So I will return the device. Seems crazy. I now see othr commenters saying it doesn't work with Mac. If HP's no longer works with major Mac applications, they will be returned in droves. Anyone know why or know of a fix? 

    I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution? 

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-O​ne Printer - E710n

    I have set this up to print.  The instructions told me to get a RJ11 connector piece so that it will go into my gateway.  Do I first have to set this up through the eithernet and then do it wirelessly?  My Ipad does print from it but, when I get to work and try to print to it, it tells me that it is busy.  I have Windows XP.
    This is what is in the manuel:  A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on
    the back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports
    on the front and a plug on the back.

    This page explains how to set up your printer on a network.

  • I have a : HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer - B210a, Problem with latest software update

    I have just installed HP update PSB210_231.exe .  The result is that the HP B210a support software on my Windows 7 Dell PC has suddenly lost a number of facilities including the ability to review the ink levels or to run diagnostics and tests on the printer.
    How can I uninstall or can you provide a fix?

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network

    Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
    I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
    I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
    I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
    So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
    Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
    Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
    This is not an expected behavior.
    I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
    Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
    Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
    Enter the Setup menu.
    Enter the Network menu.
    Click Wireless.
    Click Wireless Test Report.
    What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
    If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.

  • Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it
