Unfixable Junk
Junk.Endless circus of downloading and installing and uninstalling would not solve problem of not printing in blue. Call the 800 support line and they tell you go to online. Go online and enter information and they tell you to call the help line. Rinse. Repeat. Buy new ink. Uninstall. Install. Same problem. Download 300 mb update (for a printer driver?) that includes Bing and Yahoo toolbars and it gets worse rather than better. I have a stack of print quality test pages all with same problem. It's an endless circus. I just ask for a replacement but get no response. I can't express the level of frustration and wasted time over this junk. Sample junk quality test page attached.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought as a replacement

I bought this as a replacement for the HP C5180 PhotoSmart AIO that I had. It decided it liked the color green and everything came out green, no matter what I did. I had had it for some 6 1/2 years and it got plenty of use. They had just gone up again on the price of ink for that thing and it had 6 cartridges. The 6520e only has four cartridges. I hooked it up Wireless to both my desktop and laptop. It arrived much sooner than I expected it. It is a good fast printer and is quiet. It prints photos faster then my C5180 did. This is a very good printer for the money.
UPDATE: I don't know when I posted this review, but had issues with it. For some reason, it would not print in Black. The ink levels were good, but when I printed out a diagnostics sheet, it printed out every color but black. After doing the head Cleaner and alignment, got the same results. Mind you, I have some stuff that needed to be scanned & copied for something I am working on. I ahd a bunch of Ink for it, so ordered another one. It arrived today and I unpacked it and set it up. I plugged in the power cable and the little green standby light on back lit up. When I pressed the power button, nothing. I plugged it into both my UPS as well as a wall socket. It appears to be DOA. I had already uninstalled all the software, although it is the same printer. I hooked up the old one and reinstalled the software ( I had thought of trying a reinstallation of the software, but didn't ). When I finished the set up, I decided to see if I could scan and copy and it did fine. I took care of that and then tried one more thing. I usually print pout and do the Crossword every morning and couldn't. I printed out three and it did fine. The only issue was that I installed new cartridges and ended up messing up the ink levels on the new color ones. Don't be pulling them in and out of the printer. If you have problems, as i had, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the software and go through that process.

4.0 out of 5 stars HP Photosmart 6520 Wireless Printer
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2013

This is my third HP printer. It is strictly for home office use. I bought the HP6520 (after doing a lot of research) mainly for the ability to make good quality color prints. It does make better quality prints than my previous printer (HP Deskjet F4400 - it often made orangy-looking prints.) However, I am seeing very slight streaks across some of the prints. I have not had time to research or call HP to see if it can be remedied. As far as the other features, I like the HP6520 very much. Several years ago, I had an HP 973C printer. It made great color prints, and it also used less ink than the newer ones.. However, I wore it out and had to dispose of it. I think just about all printers now use a lot of ink. You will spend more for ink cartridges in the first year than what you pay for the printer, but they just about all do that. I guess that's how the printer manufacturer makes their profit. As to the new HP 6520, I like all the other features it has. I like the compact size (doesn't take up much room on the table.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Suddenly quit printing black, no resolution, uses way too much toner, don't trust HP
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017

Suddenly quit printing black. This seems to be a known issue with no resolution,.

Uses A LOT of ink. I rarely print and have only had this printer 4 years and have used less than half a ream of paper yet I'm on my third large capacity black toner. The last time I printed was seven weeks ago and it worked perfectly. Now suddenly it won't print regular documents. I went though all the diagnostic steps, cleaned and aligned the heads, still the same.l Funny thing, the text on the diagnostic page are fine, just the black bars are empty though the color bars are perfect. Changed toner and the same results. HP support said to get it serviced which I will not do since it's out of warranty (of course!) and I believe it to be a software issue since some of the text works. After HP support failed, I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no change. Then I did more internet research and found MANY of the exact same complaints. Seems like it's a known (or planned?) issue going back years and all HP will do is offer to replace with another. Quite a bit of speculation as to this being a programmed setting that makes the black quit working to force a replacement. Maybe that's true. In either case, I don't care for HP's business model of selling too much toner, planned obsolescence, and disregard of privacy (their help feature only works if you allow them to collect information from your system). Will not buy any HP product ever again. I'm an IT professional. Guess what hardware purchase recommendations I won't be making???

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the printer I should buy? Yes....Yes...Great deal, best features, easy to set up.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013

I have been using HP printers since 1991. My first printer was the Deskjet 500C. I think it still worked when I had to get rid of it for faster and more advanced HP deskjet/photoshop printers. I have done a lot of printing over the years and I buy a new printer about once every 4 years. And exactly 4 years ago I bought a printer, but for the first time ever, the printer actually "died" and it forced me to upgrade. I was not sure I wanted to get another printer, I thought my last (now dead) printer was a good one and I was fairly content with it. So,...like you I read some reviews and looked over the latest features and this one became the best compromise of size, features, price, etc. I also was already using the 564 XL cartridge and just bought a couple and wanted to keep using the same ink I was already using. This printer took a long time to setup, but once it was setup with one computer, it was really easy with the second and hopefully soon to be third or fourth. I like the 6520...this is easy to use, you will like it to. I don't think there is a better printer for the size and value. I also recommend that you buy the 564XL extra capacity cartridges when the free ones run out. Amazon has a good price on cartridges.... My Costco did not do a good job of stocking my 564 and I buy from HP direct or amazon (depending on the price and how fast I need it). Happy printing and enjoy your new printer...
