Setup, Speed, and Output Quality As with most inkjets in this price range, the 6600 is small enough to share a desk with comfortably. AirPrint requires a network with Wi-Fi (you can't connect directly to the printer) and ePrint as well as the Web apps require a direct Wi-Fi connection to a network that's connected to the internet. However, you can't use any of these features if you connect the printer by its USB port rather than by WiFi. Other extras, as indicated by the e in e-All-in-One, include support for Apple AirPrint and HP ePrint (HP's approach to printing through the cloud), and HP Web apps, including, for example, the Financial Times App (Free, 3.0 stars). Among the few extras it adds is a 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) to complement the letter-size flatbed and let you scan legal-size paper as well as stacks of pages. And although it offers the same 250-sheet paper capacity as the HP 6700, which should be enough for most small offices, it leaves out a duplexer (for printing on both sides of a page).īasics Under the category of core MFP features, the 6600 can print and fax from, as well as scan to, a computer, and it can work as a standalone copier and fax machine. However, it leaves out a lot of features you might want that the HP 6700 includes.Īlthough the 6600 offers Wi-Fi, for example, it lacks wired network support, which means you can't use it as a shared printer unless you have WiFi. Despite HP rating it as slower than the 6700, it turned in a faster speed on our tests. In some ways, the 6600 actually outperforms the slightly more expensive Editors' Choice HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One ($169.99 direct, 4 stars). And, no matter how you characterize it, it's a potentially good choice for micro, small, and home offices, or as a personal printer in any size office. For the most part, however, it focuses on basics. However, it lacks a lot of common features like a USB type A port for PictBridge cameras or for printing from and scanning to USB keys, so you can't say its loaded with features.

It uses a touch screen for its front panel controls, for example, so you can't say it's a minimalist design.

Clearly meant primarily for office needs, as the name suggests, the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One ($149.99 direct) inkjet MFP is hard to characterize in other ways.
