HP forum: HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One printer

I was hoping for some input so am a little disappointed in no replies. If someone should check my post, would you know if this printer has ICC profiles so I don't have to use the printer's color management. I downloaded the manual and it doesn't specifically indicate anything about color management.

Thanks..........Ralph

I purchased an HP Officejet 6500 recently and although the fax/copier and b/w document print-outs are of good quality, I am having major problems with accurate colors. My previous color printer was a small Lexmark and although the print quality was not as good, The colors were much more accurate.

Don't know if this might help, Ralph, but thought I would mention it to you.

I recently bought one to use both on my Mac and PC running Windows 7. It runs beautifully on my Mac, but it will not scan to my PC. I've spent literally hours with different tech support agents until finally one told me I'd have to talk to a "level 2" tech support agent and to call back. When I did I was put on hold for 51 minutes (confirmed on my cell phone)then cut off. I called back, waited another 20 minutes and was told they would "have to exhaust all possibilities" before getting me to a level 2 agent. When I asked how many people I'd have to talk to before all possibilities were exhausted I was told that a level 2 agent would call me back. Don't know if this will ever be resolved (my computer doesn't detect the scanner), but with tech support so bad, I wouldn't recommend it for a PC.

Our HP Officejet 6500 All in One printer works very well with scanning, printing, copying & faxing.......right now....., however, I would not recommend purchasing it if you plan on using it along with Quickbooks. It will print anything in Quickbooks right now....... except for checks. We have to do that on one of our older HP printers. I find it ridiculous to purchase something and then have to use another printer along with it. When we first purchased it, it did work, but of course after the warranty has expired, the problem presented itself. I've read many posts about this problem and HP doesn't seem to have answers.

I would not recommend purchasing this printer.
