This may be slightly confusing so please be patient . . .
There have been several deals posted for this printer, the best one being $30 after the $50 trade-in rebate from Newegg. In the discussion to the deal, it was pointed out that there are 2 kinds of rebates from HP: one which differentiates between purchases made before or after October 25, 2009 and the other where the cutoff date is July 1, 2009. If you are making the purchase today, then the only way you can get the rebate is by going through the second one, as the 8000 is not an eligible printer in the post 10/25/09 rebate.
I found the HP Pro 8000 Wireless for $76.26 here. This is the lowest price for the printer (check here).
There is a 2% rebate available either through fatwallet or bing.com
For the trade-in rebate, go here, click on "Submitting your claim" on the right hand side. The form that appears on the next page has the HP Pro 8000 Wireless listed as an eligible printer for purchases made after July 1, 2009.
I just got one of these from HP. Works well, even the duplex, but it is the clunkiest printer I've ever had. A new set of ink carts is close to $100 (it takes 4), so I hope they last long. It has me a bit worried.
I got 8 of these from Staples, with coupons and a pc buy they were around $40 or less. Ink carts and printheads, 2 sell easily for $55 each (minus auction and postage costs) The power supply around $15 and I use the carcass as a trade in. And the box to ship 3 or 4 laptops in.
I have traded in literally dozens of new printers at Staples and OD. The most frequent is the HP d4360 FAR.(ink and power supply are sold on you know where)
There you just got my money making secrets for free.

They are tanks. Therefore you can't recycle for credit to the best of my knowledge. But you can refill.Um thanks for red and your misinformation. I've already taken some down to Staples for recycling credit. Others have reported the same. If you can refill them, why wouldn't a recycling program want to take them? What do you think they do with them.

Sounds sharp to me. I was cracking up about stripping the printer and returning the carcass. Somebody who inventories that stuff will see a ton of new inkjets coming back stripped :0
I know the drill is to sell a cheap printer and trap people into buying your ink cartridges, but just a warning about this printer---this thing really suck down the ink. I have been printing an admittedly ink rich brochure. I turned the ink level down, but still ran two of the color carts dry before I hit 100 duplex copies. You would think there would be more ink in the carts than there are. I got more mileage out of my old 3 color cart HP than I'm getting out of this one.
These carts are a little hard to find off the shelf and, of course, no generics are available. I have 21 days to return the printer from the day of delivery and I think I'm sending it back. Even at ~$25, I can't afford to use it.
