HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One with eFax Printer

HP PhotoSmart 7510 e-All-in-One with eFax Printer is a multifunction printer (MFP) geared primarily to home use, though its automatic document feeder (ADF) and paper capacity give it some home-office chops. It does print beautiful photos, and has a large touch screen and can take advantage of HP’s ePrint and Web app services.

HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One measures 17.9 x 8.7 x 17.7 inches and weighs 18.5 pounds. A 4.3-inch tilt-up touch LCD lies to the left of the It can print, copy, and scan (as well as fax wirelessly through eFax); work as a standalone Web-enabled device; print from and scan to a memory card (slots are limited to SD/Multimedia Card and Memory Stick Duo), but it lacks a port for a USB thumb drive.

It has a 125-sheet main paper tray and a 25-sheet photo-paper tray, plus an automatic duplexer for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. A 25-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) lets you copy, scan, and fax multi-page documents.

HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One can run HP’s Web apps; several come pre-loaded, with their icons appearing carousel-style at the top of the 4.3-inch touch LCD, and more can be added through the HP ePrintCenter. Pre-installed Web apps include Snapfish, Facebook, DreamWorks, Quick Forms, Tabloid, Crayola, and Travel Guide.

HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One supports HP’s ePrint: You can e-mail files as attachments to a unique address that HP assigns to the printer, and it will print out the e-mail and files.  HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One is also compatible with Apple’s AirPrint, allowing users to print directly to it from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as long as it’s on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.

It also has built-in support for eFax Internet faxing, a third-party service that lets you send up to 20 fax pages and receive up to 20 pages per month for free, and no phone line needed. (After those free pages, subscription charges kick in.) The printer is assigned an eFax phone number to which you can direct your clientele to send faxes. Faxes received at that number are automatically sent over the Internet to your printer for you to output. To send a fax, you just touch the eFax icon on the touch screen, type in the number, and press Send. We can attest to the fact that eFax works, but whether it would be cost effective for you depends on how much you expect to fax, and how much a dedicated phone line for a fax would cost.

HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One offers USB and Wi-Fi connectivity. I tested it over USB connection, with its driver installed on a PC running Windows Vista.
