  I almost bought this the other day. I had it confused with the 6500A Plus model. This one has no Duplex and no Wifi. However it has ethernet and fax.

  +1

  I thought I'd make a special mention of the inks. The estimated ink economy that HP publicize on the 920XL ink cartridges is: BLACK 1200 pages, COLOUR 800 pages. These results were obtained during test prints using documents covering 5% of the page (probably a very short email or memo).
  Still, for that price, it earns a +1 from me.

  I can't decide which one is better comparing to the one from DickSmith:
  http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XP6420/canon-pixma-mx420-wir…

  HP 6500A got a better scanner and print much faster, but Canon MX420 has WiFi.
  Can anyone shed me some light on this?

  thanks for the link.. just popped out to pick one up as we needed both a scanner (for documents) and a fax. will test it out and see how it is.

    yep we're pretty happy with it. took a bit of mucking around with my router (T38) to get fax working over VoIP (not the multifunctions fault) but is a great little unit. well worth the $98!

    oh.. and plugged it in via ethernet to my router, macos sees it and enables you to use the printer and scanner over the network without installing a scrap of HP software. this is a major positive in my book (although that's probably a mac thing)
