HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A is a mid-range inkjet printer from HP. This printer has the full name OfficeJet Pro 8500A A910a, to distinguish it from the 8500A Plus (A910g), 8500A Premium (A910n), or 8500 (without WiFi). Naming is a bit confusing so you need to be careful when choosing.
On paper, this type of A910a is a perfect blend of features and prices, providing a high value. This printer is the most affordable HP type that features Auto Document Feeder (ADF), wireless connectivity, and LCD touch screen. Another more affordable type may only have two of the three features, so this type of A910a is perfect for Home Office or Small Office.
