When Holly from Nothing But Bonfires finally (happily!) wrapped her head around the "wireless means no wires" concept she was off and running. Check out the gorgeous lanterns she crafted for her upcoming wedding.
The HP Photosmart C6380 is A Veggie Venture's
third wireless printer, but it is her "first wireless printer to
actually work wirelessly." After quickly setting it up with her
wireless network, she spent some time with an HP ‘paper crafting' guru
and discovered that she can print long lasting "archive-quality" photos
from home. Perfect for scrapbooking!Notes From The Trenches quickly used the printer to print anything and everything that came to mind. She was able to find some fantastic projects using HP's free printing projects; from fun cootie catchers and art projects to party invitations and elaborate decorations for her daughter's birthday party!
Southern Hospitality loves the results of the lab-quality photos that she can print wirelessly, from home. She also likes that she can easily share the printer with her husband, that double sided printing is so simple and that is has two trays for standard and photo paper.
At Wise Bread, they report that consolidating three important office functions - printing, copying and scanning - in one machine is a big boon to the home office. Doing it all wirelessly makes it even better!
Going wireless gives you freedom. You're free to roam while still being "connected". It's one of the reasons so many of us buy notebooks (checking email in the kitchen while savoring the morning coffee has its advantages, afterall).
Take advantage of your wireless home network and start printing from almost anywhere in the house (or from the backyard, for that matter).
Discover how convenient life can be when you're untethered from a tangled mess of cords. HP offers the broadest selection of wireless printers and all-in-ones, which means there's an HP wireless printer to fit your printing needs and budget. Learn more.

how going wireless gives you freedom
I love having the ability to blog from where ever i may be,
I would absolutly LOVE the ability to be able to print- recipies, pictures and all kinds of great stuff!
We now use the whole house.
We are definately a computer family. Hubby and I each have desktops we use for business and an old laptop apiece for our personal stuff. We salvaged older desktops for each of the kids to use for school. We wired our previous house to plug in. There were not a lot of rooms, but so many went unused simply because we were stuck at our desks. In our new home going wireless as much as possible means that we actually can use all of the rooms!
I love being able to start my day at one end of the house to take advantage of the morning light while drinking my coffee and perusing my e-mail and planners. Then I end the computer day on the other side of the house or even on the patio. just after dinner.
I would love to be able to add printing to the mix. Right now we typically usb to the one desktop with our old printer hooked in. I am very interested in reading what the others have to say about the Wireless HP Photosmart C6380. Our printer is getting very heavy on the magenta if we do not print in greyscale, so we are already studying our options.
Wireless
Wireless capabilities are awesome! From my Blackberry to my laptop, I love wireless technology! But I'm still plugging my laptop up to my printer just to be able to print! I'd LOVE a wireless printer!
print and forget...until later
I am a mother of two and things are beautifully constant and changing. What that means is when I want to do, or finish something it often isn't on my own time frame. Oh! the possibilities of having a wireless printer...the things I could print when needed AND finish when I could. I would absolutely love to have the convenience of a HP wireless printer!
Wireless equals boundless
I'd love to be able to print from either our laptop or our 2 desktops without having to lug equipment around and mess with cables and plugs! Having less wires definitely clears up some of the visual clutter, and although we can blog from wherever we want, we still can't print from wherever we want! Having an HP wireless printer would definitely bring our household more into the 21st century :)
Copy, Scan, Print Oh My
This HP printer would give me freedom from paper files. i could scan and maintain so many more files from my desktop instead of using a paper filing system. Plus the wireless ability would mean i could keep my own space instead of sharing it with my laptop toting husband.
Saving Money!
I am an empty nester and have recently turned my daughter's room into my office. The problem is the printer is downstairs in my husband's office. With the cost of ink so high, I am not going to buy my own printer. So... right now I e-mail my work to my Sweetie and he prints for me. I would love to have the freedom to print upstairs. Likewise, when my daughter comes home from college, she would be able to print from her laptop. What a great product!
I really need wireless
If you could see my mess right now
I think that you'd agree
That wireless is what I need
In my life right now, you see
A cord that starts here and runs to there
I want to do better, I do give a care
For now though it's all i've got
So If I win this it would mean a lot
Well thank you so much for taking the time
For considering me and reading my rhyme
Wireless is Wonderful
My hubby is a real techy and has created a wireless wonderland here at home. No matter where we are in the house, there is a computer at our disposal - either laptop or desktop, and they are all wireless and connected to the printer upstairs. Which poses a bit of a problem because most of the time, we are on the first level of the house working and needing to print something. So, although it is wireless, we tend to impose on our children to run up and down the stairs when we print something off.
Wireless has definitely given us freedom to move around the house and still print. I love having a wireless home. As I type this comment I am sitting comfortably on my sofa in my family room with my laptop and no connected wires. It is freedom. Now if I only had a printer on the first level it would all be perfect.

My hubby is able to work on
My hubby is able to work on his computer at the same time I do because of our wireless internet.
Office became nursery, now the house is the
office
I just turned my home office into a nursery, and now the couch is my office, the dining room table is my office, the kitchen counter...you get the idea. We already have wireless internet, and I love the idea that I would not be tied to a specific location by my printer.

Wireless, sweeeeet!
I would love a wireless printer. My
workstation is a tiny desk in our kitchen. My original thought was that
I would be forced to not accumulate too much junk. Wellllll,
not-so-much. Instead I have stuff in every possible place, literally
bags hanging off the desk. In addition to all this mess, the desk
doesn't have holes for cords to be run through it. All my cords go from
the back of the equipment to the front of the desk and around the
corner. Sheesh!
What fantastic things would I do with it? I have a three year old
ADORABLE little girl and I take a bazillion and two pictures of her a
day. A photo printer is a necessity :)
A cute idea I found somewhere on the web was to take a potted flower
and add picture picks. Print out pictures of loved ones, cut in flower
and heart shapes, glue front and backs to wood sticks (like
shish-ka-bob sticks) and put them in the dirt. It makes a really pretty
gift, that has sentimental value. You can use cut flowers and even
after the flowers die, the receiver will have the picks in a vase to
display and ooh and ahhh over.
Great giveaway, thank you to Wise Bread and HP!

Wireless Freedom
Right now I work out of my living room and have to unplug the laptop and go into the bedroom and hook it up in order to print. It would be so fantastic to just hit print and be able to go pick my documents up from the printer. Yay for wireless freedom!

Freedom is Mine
Or, it would be with a wireless printer.
I love the flexiblity of my laptop - dragging it from one room to another while my son plays...but for the dirty work, I need to plug it in to my printer to print, scan, copy or fax. Ugh. It's a pain. This really would make life a lot easier! Thanks for the opportunity!
Everything Should Be Wireless
With two small kids at home, I rarely have a chance to actually sit at the desktop computer in our office. I do nearly everything from my laptop and having a wireless connection is essential. I could print from my laptop and go pick it up when I can escape for a few minutes. It would be much easier than listening to screaming kids while I sit in the other room to print!

It's amazing to me that,
It's amazing to me that, during my senior year in college, we got wifi on the quad and it made me feel like I lived in the future (even though I had no laptop). You can surf teh intarwebs? Outside? Wow.
Now, it's difficult for me to be without it. We are constantly doing things online. I can take my laptop in the kitchen and read a recipe while I cook. I can watch streaming television and movies in bed. My husband can e-mail lesson plans to his school from bed when he calls in sick. We have portable access to information and entertainment wherever we're working in the house or yard. There's a million conveniences dependent on Wifi.
Unfortunately, our printing capabilities are dramatically more primitive--so much so that we hardly ever print at home. And we've NEVER had a scanner, even though I desperately want to scan SkyMall and make fun of it on my blog.
Love going cordless
I love not being tied down to a desktop computer. It's so much easier to relax on the couch or bring the computer upstairs where the printer is, rather than having to set up a computer workspace. And how great that I can take my laptop wherever I go and not rely on a working computer to be at my location.

Wireless: it's a matter of life and death
Wires are a hazard in our home: our toddler loves to play with them. He chews wires, uses them as pull toys, ties up his stuffed animals, and whacks his older brother with the ends. As much as I like to encourage his apparent enthusiasm for the Iraqi Republican Guard wire-loving tactics, I have to put a stop to this: the wires have to go.
Oh, and nothing says my life is awesome like being able to hit print while running around the house with your laptop and having recipe simply appear on a brand new, glorious HP printer. I need that kind of untethered magic in my life.
working at home
I work at home while I take care of my kid so wireless is an absolute necessity. It allows me to work anywhere in the house - or even outside - while he plays!

Wireless allows for togetherness and anti cat
printer protection
College age daughter, hubby and I all work on our laptops in the living room and print as necessary from one central printer. This not only minimizes hassle, it allows us to not have to move and unplug cords and such constantly, and we can maintain our anti kitty defense structure around the printer. Our cat likes to sleep in in the tray and if we don't barracade the printer.... she will print test pages to amuse herself. If we couldn't surround the printer she would probably print all day long. So far she hasn't figured out how to use the laptop.

Going wireless would help me
Going wireless would help me get all my daily tasks done while still being able to keep up with my 14 month old. I could print from my LR while he plays, from my Kitchen while he eats, etc. It would be a great convenience. Also the elimination of cords & wires is quite helpful when having a little one around.
Sign me up!
With six kids who need to print seeminlgy three hundred project a week, a wireless printer would help calm the many tantrums and arguments that occur on a daily basis. I love my wireless internet, and the printer would be a welcome addition!

Who doesn't want a Wireless HP Photosmart
C6380 All-in-One!
No doubt all of our reasons are reason enough to win this fab wireless printer! I have 7...soon to be 8!...little grandsons, so that's a lot of picture taking! This would certainly come in handy! ;>)
WIRELESS... YIPPEE
Who wouldn't love to be rid of cords laying all over the place. Who wouldn't love to be able to move that printer where ever? I would LOVE it. Then there is all the pictures that we take and can be printed...yahoo.
I just went wireless with my
I just went wireless with my laptop and to do the same with my printer...Oh What joy it would be!!
I Want My Desk Back
I have a very small desk along side our dining table. I often can't find my telephone underneath the piles of school stuff (and blog stuff). The printer I have right now takes up about 1/3 of my desk. It's an HP and I love it, but having a wireless printer would allow me to put it elsewhere where there's more room thus giving me my desk back!
Ahhh.. the power of wireless.

No More Barney
When my daughter decides she just needs a cuddle while she's watching her favorite cartoon for the 10 millionth time, I can surf the web and sit with her.
Freedom with Wireless
We recently went wireless with our computers. Going wireless with the printer would mean even more freedom.
We have computers used in different rooms. Having a wireless printer would make life so much simpler. I'd be able to work with the children much easier as well. The printer we have is going on the fritz, so this is perfect timing. :) Thank you for an awesome chance at more freedom!!!
Gaining Greater Life Balance
Being a self-employed, sole provider who works out of her home means walking a fine line between life balance and income stream.
There are many nights and weekends that require extra hours to complete projects, catch up on accounting (yuck!) matters not to mention get to the personal stuff like iTunes, the latest pics and bills.
What a fantasy to let my mind think about being able to print from outside the confines of my office - a door I want to fomally CLOSE at the end of the business day. It would truly be a luxury to print out orders that I can fax in the next day while catching up on my favorite shows waiting on Tivo.
With the added bonus of printing out the latest pics of my "kitty-kids" or floral shots from around Maui, winning a new Wireless HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One would be oh so fun!
O To be Wireless!
I use a laptop as my main computer. Many times I am working somewhere other than my office and want to print something out. The convenience of a wireless printer that could print from wherever my laptop was, in the house, would be awesome! The added photo-printing feature is icing on the cake. Thanks for the giveaway!
