Ridding your office of cluttering cables, you can wirelessly connect up to five computers. Now there’s no need to be put off by tricky installation and connections, just simply place your new printer where you want it and hit the print button.
 
…Often feel like you need to be in two places at once? If you have children running around the home, but can’t have them rampaging your office and tripping up on wires, there is another option. Why not take your laptop into the garden with your children and send your print jobs wirelessly back to your office? You can be much more flexible with the HP Deskjet 5850 and maximise the time and enjoyment you have with your family.
 
…Is the phone ringing for you to dash to an important sales meeting? The HP Deskjet 5850 is the ideal printer to fully prepare you and enhance your business’ image. From colour presentations to take to a pitch, to photos that will really sell your products, the HP Deskjet 5850 will print fast, professional images and documents in black and white and in colour. You can even print leaflets or pages automatically on both sides with the built-in two-sided printing accessory. With this printer’s professional photo quality colour printing, you can work comfortably without the worry of poorly printed documents or grainy photos - leaving you with great documents that are sure to impress.
 
…Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off and you now expand your small business. You’ll need to ensure your office systems are able to cater for the extra staff you may have - from an extra computer and more space, to additional printing. The HP Deskjet 5850 will have no problems, allowing you to simply add another user to its wireless network without having to re-route cables or buy another device.
