PRINT – SCAN – COPY – WEB,
This little marvel is a great all-in-one, intended for home use or light office work. I particularly like the automatic 2-sided printing, a feature I never had before. The user friendly touchscreen is an excellent size while the pull out paper tray provides ease of loading.
The 6510 has a 12″ x 17″ footprint although the loading tray, closed, protrudes another 2.5″ in the front. The printed page returns to you also in the front. This frees up the rear enabling use of the machine with its back against a wall, a necessary space saver in my situation: My unit is perched on a 12″ x 24″ wall shelf, out of the way, wireless and ready to run.
The 6510 has no automatic feeder. I mention this mainly to lighten my load, for surely I find it a much simpler task enumerating what it DOESN’T have rather than what it DOES have. HP has other models that do have automatic feeders. Besides an automatic feeder there is nothing lacking here.
The 6510 produces exquisite, professional, lab quality photos. I, personally, do not print that many photos, but whenever I do I do like what I see.
When it comes to printers I’m a fan of HP. Nevertheless, I researched other brands. Ultimately, I did not find reason to switch. The fact that the 6510 uses four (4) ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta and yellow) rather than the standard two (2)–which I’m used to–was not a favorable idea to me at first, but I succumbed to the concept and am glad that I did. Those trifling doubts, confused concerns–all categorically unwarranted.
I did have a problem at the outset, however. I wasn’t able to scan a document containing multiple pages. Each page was transferred to my computer as a separate document. If I scanned a 10-page document, for instance, I would end up with ten separate 1-page documents.
I called HP (888-921-6721) and a very helpful representative in Manilla commandeered my computer. (I’m always fascinated when they do that!) She downloaded free software which eliminated the problem. Unto HP Support I bestow five stars.
This is a great all-in-one at a very good price. Actually, it’s a PHENOMENAL price. I seriously doubt that you’ll regret your purchase. That is, unless in several months you’ll want an automatic feeder.

|Photosmart 6510 is Sweet!,
Printers come and printers go … we are a disposable society–true. The price is right for this printer and I encourage anyone who has something older to step it up a notch with all the bells and whistles newer printers–like this All-In-One; print, scan, and copy–have to offer. I looked at Epson, an excellent workhorse and I have one that prints CD’s; at Canon which looks nifty but didn’t have the envelope printing capability, and ultimately went again with HP. This one uses fewer ink cartridges even for slick multicolored photographs on glossy paper. HP has dropped the Photo-black on this model. The nifty touchscreen is shaped like an iPhone, which I find curious and even has a slide show on how to do setup and load the paper tray which (HOORAY!) slides out for easier loading. The only difference I encountered was in initiating a scan … toss the old HP Scan Pro and click directly on the new HP Scan 3 from your desktop or laptop. It brings up a more user-friendly window to work your scan with. Also; I’ve used heavier paper (28# for laser print) for more durable copies when I need a color photo and don’t want to waste a glossy page. The documentation says it will take cover stock as well. If that’s so, then this one is a peach!

|Works great.,
Was actually looking at the HP Envy line of HP printers but saw this model for half the money and as many features and gave it a shot.
I am an Apple user at home. I make my money fixing Windows machines.
The printer works great. I unpacked this printer and set it up completely from the touch screen panel. I never even opened the driver cd or hooked a USB cable to it. Found my 802.11n network, entered the security key, and it connected right up. Automatically connected to HP’s servers after the internet connection and checked for firmware. It printed the HP_Eprint setup page, I followed the directions on the sheet of paper for HP_Eprinting (where you can email doc’s to your printer from anywhere to be printed) and I was headed to the races.
I literally spent more time removing the packing material and shipping tape from the printer then I did setting it up for actual use.
A reasonable computer user with knowledge on simple steps for turning on a computer, connecting to a wifi network/hotspot should be able get this printer running with ease. The elderly who barely can Skype with the grand kids or the housewife who cant navigate a DirecTv remote to also turn on the Pioneer stereo receiver may need some assistance.
All the specific functions of the printer test ok. It prints photos on 4X6 photo paper. I only ran a few Iphone pictures through it and the quality was acceptable. Can it be better? Sure it can, but this is a $100 ink-jet printer its not a photolab $50K Minolta.
Printing works from Iphone, Ipad, MacBook. Again print quality is acceptable for home and lite office use. This isnt a printer for magazine ready layout or desktop publishing nor have the duty cycle. It is a $100 ink-jet printer.
Scanning works. I only scanned a few individual photos and at that only used the native HP drivers to scan to the Preview application on my MacBook. I havent tested any bundled HP scanning software that came with the printer. Remember I still havent even opened the driver CD that came with the printer. The scanned pictures were acceptable .JPG facsimile of the originals. I can not speak to the multiple scanned pictures to individual .jpg files etc. although the native HP driver does in fact have user configurable setting for such.
Duplex printing (both sides of paper) works fine.
I am using the branded HP 4X6 glossy photo paper for pictures, however I loaded regular 8.5X11 printer paper that I had loaded in a HP 4050N. For the people experiencing less then acceptable photo or printing results. It is in your best interest to uses HP branded paper for both jobs and I’ll tell you why. In the inkjet printing arena typically there are two types of printer ink in the market. One is dye based ink and the other is pigment based ink. Most all manufactures use either one or the other, and the determining factor to getting the best performance from either of the two types of ink is the correctly matched paper composition. In the case of this particular HP photosmart printer HP uses both types of Ink. Dye based for the color and pigment based for the black ink. HP formulated these inks to best be displayed and represented on specific HP branded paper. Furthermore, you have to realize that your blacks and colors will look slightly different when printed on a 4×6 glossy photo page then the exact same image on 8.5X11 full sheet, even if the full sheet is HP branded ink jet paper. Finally this shouldn’t be an issue when you accept this is still just a $100 general use household all in one inkjet printer.
All in all its a great little printer for what it is. Its not business class, its not for professional photography printing, scanning or duty cycle. The real bread and butter of this HP printer is its wireless E-print and AirPrint abilities. You want to scan a couple photos it works. You’re on the couch and find a good recipe on your Ipad you want to try. hit the print button and it works. Out in town and catch your mayor or congressmen doing blow behind a restaurant and get a picture of it on your iphone and want to get it printed before the secret service throw you into Guantanamo Bay, email the picture back home to the printer, IT WORKS.
