If you are looking for a brand new wireless printer for your home and your office, you'll have to check out the Officejet Range. One of HP's most successful efforts in this range is the Officejet 6500. This printer, when released, was one of the earliest wireless printers and also one of the best. Even today, 2 years after its release, the HP 6500 can keep up with some of the best wireless printers out there. It's a great option, and certainly worth considering. But if you would consider the Officejet 6500, why not consider the Officejet 6500a? There's more of a difference between the two than the name suggests.

HP Officejet 6500

This printer is fantastic, reliable and efficient. After conducting some research, it's easy to see that the Officejet 6500 is a clear fan favorite with customers. HP seems to have done everything right with this one. Wireless printing is growing in popularity; it's really the way forward now. It doesn't matter if you're at home, or in the office, wireless printing makes everything easier.

The HP 6500 connects to all your computers/laptops effortlessly, and customers seem to be very happy with the amount of time it takes to get everything up and running after unboxing. It's not just a printer either; it comes with integrated scanning, copying and faxing abilities.

This printer is an absolute steal at the price it's going for. Many other wireless printers with the same capabilities as the Officejet 6500 tend to be going for higher prices. With all this in mind, you won't find a better deal for your home/office… Wait, hang on. You will. The HP 6500's successor:

HP Officejet 6500a

Meet the bigger, more advanced brother of the HP Officejet 6500. The HP 6500a manages to do everything its predecessor does, and more. Most people need significant differences before they are willing to make the decision to upgrade. Luckily, the HP Officejet 6500a gives you more than enough reason to do so.

First of all it's a little heavier. That may not be significant, but it shows that they've packed a little more hardware into this model. The first most noticeable difference is the touch pad of the HP Officejet 6500a. This isn't just a fancy touch (no pun intended) the touch screen controller allows you to scan, fax and copy any of your documents straight from the printer. The printer is web enabled; meaning you can also use this touch pad to find your documents on the web and print them. All of this without a single mouse click from your computer!

The big feature in the HP 6500a that really trumps the HP 6500 is the ability to send your documents from your mobile device to your printer. You don't even need to be anywhere near your printer for this to happen! You can also print on photo paper with the HP Officejet 6500a, there's no need to buy a separate printer for that!
