What's great about it: Print speed
What's not so great: won't wake up from Sleep Mode; small ink cartridges which are not easy to replace; have to push too many buttons
The HP4500 has some nice features. Once it starts printing, it's fast, and I like the wireless part. But those are the only ways it's better than my old HP Officejet K60 printer.
But the negatives are slowly outweighing the positives.
1. The ink cartridges are small, so I'm constantly replacing them.
2. The ink cartridge is not easy to get to so they can be replaced.
3. The paper tray is very finicky and doesn't hold much paper.
4. Too many buttons to push to accomplish a simple print task. On the K60, you just pushed one button to copy. Now I have to wade through a menu of choices before I get to "Copy B&W". My husband will NEVER be able to handle this.
5. Once the printer goes into Sleep Mode, I have to unplug it and then plug it back in before it will wake up. Totally NOT acceptable.

Review 3 for HP Officejet 4500 Network-Ready All-in-One Printer
Only lasted two months before problems began.
Customer Rating

What's great about it: The size is perfect.
What's not so great: Printing
I have a small business and do not require a lot of printing. The first problem I had was to wake up the printer to begin. I have to unplug the unit to reboot it. Now four months out the gears to not pull the paper into the printer. The status of the printer is for ever popipng up on the computer monitor when ever it wants to. Not a good deal at all. Looking for a new printer.

Review 5 for HP Officejet 4500 Network-Ready All-in-One Printer
Conflict with Microsoft Office (Word) margins
Customer Rating
2.0
When printing a 8 1/2 x 11 portrait document with 1" margins set, it prints landscape and shows bottom margin of 5.3'. I went to HP Help and they said it was a Microsoft problem. Now what do I do? I can only print if I save the document to Adobe Acrobat and then it prints normally.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
I print about 50 pages per week. So thats very little. First one of these printers lasted only 3 months before it started chewing up gears inside and stopped drawing in paper. Replacement one only lasted 3 weeks before doing the same thing. The HP 5610 theses replaced lasted almost 5 years. Dont waste your time or money. These are way overpriced and are disposable. Also eats ink like a kid with candy.

Wanted a printer that could be placed on network without having to be tied to PC. This ethernet version of the HP4500 fits the bill. Great printer.

I use this primarily at home, and I've not had a problem at all with it. It prints, copies, and scans perfectly. the colors are great. For what I need and for what I use it for: its perfect. And the price was right, too. (I have not yet used the fax function on this yet, though-and don't think I will in the near future. I wanted to option, though, just in case).

What's great about it: Print quality--amazing for the price
What's not so great: Software setup is clunky in typical HP fashion
Print quality is excellent. Set-up is clunky, but this is in common with other HP printers I've set up. However, you don't buy an HP printer because it comes with slick software. You buy it because it does a really good job printing. This does a really good job, amazing for the price, but at a moderate speed. More expensive printers run faster, but this one would be fine for light duty printing. You will be pleasantly surprised by how well it prints.

good manufacturer - fair product
Customer Rating

What's great about it: easy installation
What's not so great: paper tray and noisy
got this hp all-in-one because i do like hp products and have always like their printers. this particular one was very easy to install and it took only a few minutes. but afer downloading all the 'extras', i found that most of them i just did not need. finally got it configured the way i wanted. have been using it for a few months now and i have two things on my mind: 1) it is noisy in its operation and i kept getting this notice that there was a 'paper jam' when there was not one. deleted some more of the 'extras' and it vanished. 2) the paper tray is a disaster. there is a place to put the paper but there is no place for it to go when it has been printed. it just seems that it can go on your desk and this was thought out by hp. all in all...not too thrilled with this but it was on sale and i fell for it. caution...look for another model or a similarly priced model from another manufacturer.

What's not so great: is a real hassel trying to fax with if you have a code on your line
The old HP printer had no problem with the code we have to put in on the phone line, This new printer you have to put it in at 4 or 5 times for it to go through with the fax, drives me nuts, sometimes I want to through it out the window. Copies very good but trying to fax with it is a real hassel.

Don't Buy the 4500Series HP
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
I was never able to print more than 30 pages to one ink cartridge. HP Desk advisor would annoy me constantly until I deleted it. My computer would tell me the ink cartridges were full, but the printer would suddenly stop working telling me my cartridges were incompatible. The machine was accusing me of using cartridges other than genuine HP when I took them out of an HP Manufacturers' box and foil pack. I had many and various problems with it from day one and could never depend on it when I needed it. I am tossing it in the trash today and I regret opening that last tri-color cartridge yesterday, because it didn't work either. It will also have to be trashed. Purchased it in August 2007. Bought 6-7 Cartridges, I only print on average 4-6 pages/month.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
