Power supply died on our flatbed scanner last month, so it's finally time to replace it. Found the HP OfficeJet 6500 at Costco for $149 after instant rebate. Stace got it last week and it's working great, so decided to jump in.

Model #: E709n
Serial # (I think): MY97J462XG05G2

Wireless connectivity. Printer, Scanner (flatbed and document feeder), Copier, Fax

Uh oh: wont install on Win 7. Installation says this is not a compatible OS. The OS is listed as "601.64" -- I love it. (That's the version code for Windows 7, 64 bit)

No drivers available at HP yet for Win 7, but it shows in their chart as compat with Win7 and that drivers are available on their site. Liars! (Stace said he just saw Win7 drivers available on his HP update software (but you have to successfully install to get there. Doh)

Woot! Found from the internets to run the install in Compatibility mode: Vista, run as administrator.
