Question 1

This model is a printer, scanner and fax?

Accepted Answer

That is correct--it does all three, however, I only use it as a printer and scanner and, so far, it does both of those VERY well.  Without a ton of the HP software that usually needs to be installed.

Question 2

Does this Printer scan/print front and back of pages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is an additional tray that plugs into the back of the printer for two-sided printing. Just follow the prompts on the display screen for whatever action you want to perform. This is the best printer I have owned to date. This will copy, fax, email, scan & print. Well worth the money. The only thing I have done different with this printer than other all-in-ones i have had/used is that it is kept ON 24/7.

Question 3

Is this all-inl-one compatible with Windows 8? I have a HP Notebook I plan to add this all-in-one to via networking. Do you think that this product will work with my notebook?

Thanks  so very  much,

Jeanette:)

Jeanette,

We have an 8600 Pro and one of our many computers is an Acer Laptop wih Windows 8 (hate Windows 8 operating system!!) but it does work fine with the 8600 Pro and I have not found any issues with it working with it.

Question 4

what type of a cable will I need with this printer?

Accepted Answer

If you connect using wireless throught a wireless router, you will not need a cable.  If you want to connect directly to a pc or router, you will need the standard HP printer connector to USB.  You can also connect both ways and again you will only need a standard HP printer connector to USB.  Hope that helps.

Question 5

Will this still print if one or more of the ink cartridges is empty?

Accepted Answer

No, it will not print if any ink cartridge is any empty or if it "thinks" any ink cartridge is empty.  Best practice in my opinion would be to keep an extra of each color on hand and ready to swap in when the printer says so.  I also believe buying genuine hp ink cartridges will be the best value and give you the least problems.

Question 6

I have ubuntu 12.04 LTS as my operating system. Will it work?

Accepted Answer

Hey,

This printer works great with Ubuntu (I have this same model and I run Ubuntu). Using Ubuntu's native printer setup this can be configured within a couple minutes.

Regards,
Frank

Question 7

The CM750A model is exactly what I need, to match the one in another office.  Do you have the additional paper tray this unit sits on?

Accepted Answer

I do not. Sorry. Love this printer though.
