I received a product to review. Opinions are my own.
I have been wanting an e-printer for a while now. My husband did not see why we should spend more money on a new printer when ours worked fine. We have just a regular printer. So when asked to review the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer from Staples, I was excited! Not only is it an e-printer but you can scan and email right from the printer!
My hubby took it out and got it together for me. This was an very easy process. I started the CD process in both laptops. Again a fairly easy process, just a little time consuming waiting for downloads. The first item to print was a picture of my daughter. The printer wanted to make sure the ink was aligned correctly, so I added the photo paper include and printed this fun picture!
Both laptops were set up and ready to go. The very next day I got to use it in “real life”. I had to sign a medical records release form for a doctor. The office emailed me the form, I then printed the form while I was in the other room!! 🙂 Then filled out the form and scanned it with the printer. I was asked if I wanted to save it to the printer or email it. I opted to email it to myself then forwarded it to the doctors office. I was a little too excited!
The HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer will print, scan or copy. But it really does so much more! There are apps on the printer. Apps! There are many to choose from and you can add more. I chose the Disney app and printed this picture for my daughter to color. The Quick Form app allows you to print a variety of forms. I printed a fun maze for my daughter to do. Did I tell you the screen is touchscreen? It is! There are so many technical details I could give you but I want to just highlight a few. You can always find out more by checking out their website.
The printer has a memory card slot so you can easily just place your camera card and print. I placed my card in to see what would happen. I received three choices – view & print, reprint and upload & share. The upload & share will take you to your Snapfish account. You can print and copy on both sides which I love! No need to turn the paper over. Oh – I can print from my phone too! Awesome!
I know this will come in handy this school year as my son enters 7th grade. He is always having to look up and print articles. I wonder when my daughter will have to print her first work? She starts kindergarten this year, but they are starting them younger and younger. Plus I am going to take a few classes this coming year. I want to finish and get an AA. In what I’m not sure of yet.

I will never have a regular printer again! I love this printer and all of it’s features! Staples has it on sale for $119.99 which I think is well worth it!
This looks like a great printer. Being able to print from the phone would be awesome!
I have an hp that I print from my phone, ipad, etc. my 8 year old’s ipod touch also can command it to print, so we’re finding all kinds of funny stuff being printed out!!
We like our HP printer too! 🙂
Wow, that’s really neat that it has the activity sheets built in for printing! Love that!
How cute that you can print coloring pages from this! This looks like a nice printer – it’s great that it has so many options built into it.
I love that memory card slot feature! That’s something my printer does not have.
We own an HP printer and it rocks! I use the print and scan features for so many things that I’m not sure how I’d function without it.
Oh I like that you don’t have to turn it over too. That’s a huge perk! I love all-in-ones and I don’t think I’ll ever get a printer without that anymore.
That looks so nice! I’m really not happy with our new printer.
I have not been able to find a good printer in years. Sounds like you are happy with this one!
That sounds like a really nice printer! I have an HP printer, too – love it, love it!
I’m actually on the hunt for a new computer and this one looks awesome. Great review!
That printer looks great! I just got a new HP one &didn’t even know it had apps until I read your post and checked mine- they’re there! Thanks!
Wow, I definitely have never seen a printer that can do so much. I love that there are apps you can download, and I totally would have downloaded the Disney one too.
Looks like a great printer! I’ll definitely have to add one of these to our back-to-school shopping list!
I’ve never tried printing my own pictures before. I wonder what the cost difference is with printing at home vs having it printed elsewhere.
I need to get a better printer. I like my HP, but it’s a base model & doesn’t even have wireless.
I have an HP printer and I love it, it is the best quality of the three that I have.
I love HP printers and hardly ever buy any other brand. HP is very reliable and I love the features and options in this ALL in one printer. SOOO cool… Thanks for sharing
This looks amazing! I love the wireless feature — I want one so badly!
Ummmm …. I have this exact printer and I haven’t used any of those features other than print!!! I need to play around with it and learn how it all works!!!!
HP printer here too! Love it!
That disney printout feature is too awesome.
We have one like this and it is awesome. I can print from anywhere my laptop is. That is awesome.
But we don’t’ have the Disney feature. 🙁 That is really neat.
I love the HP technology that has come so far! Definitely different than my first HP printer!
Sounds like this is everything you could possibly want in a printer!
I love that it has a Disney app! How fun.
Does it have Disney pre-installed on it!!! That is awesome and my daughter would be in heaven LOL
It looks nice. I like products that “multitask.” That way there is less cluttering up my work space.
I love my HP printer.
