Reviews
By: CAB, mom of 6 (San Fran)
I use AutoCAD at work and occasionally at home. The print is as good as on the 11×17 HP inkjet at work, and this 11×17 scanner is a better size than any of the workplace ones (although I haven’t used that function yet). Hubby managed to hook up the 6490 to our home wifi without help, and no, he didn’t set our wifi up originally, and no, he doesn’t really understand how wifi works. In fact, hubby is visually handicapped! I’d rate ease of installation to wifi as 5 stars. The only glitch we had was that we didn’t know we had a firewall, but the install disc talked us though that step too. So now I’m sitting in bed typing on my Dell 1520 XP and sending to the printer in the other room.
I don’t know how it goes through ink, but will post back if I have an issue about that or anything else in the future. Edit added 9-6-08: We just changed the first ink cartridge. I’ve been printing mainly with black, but also did about 300 very small (2″x3″) photos with lots of sky. We managed 700 copies on the first black cartridge as far as I can tell. Cyan is at 50% and magenta and yellow don’t really show as being low yet. The machine has been beeping for the last week warning us black was low, but only today did it quit printing due to lack of ink. At any rate: we had no wasted prints from low ink and it was nice enough to tell us it had stopped. Can’t say that with the HP at work!
