[snipped details on it not working with hplip]
George, if you'll accept a suggestion from a fellow (non-expert) user,
just use the wifi connection to manage the device. On my wheezy system
with HP Officejet 6600, which should be very similar to your 6500, I
only use the web interface to scan. I have not yet found a need to try
the hplip package although it should permit more extensive access to
device features. For example, the web interface only allows scans up to
600 dpi while 1200 dpi is available on the device.
With your browser, go to your device at 192.168.whatever-it's-called,
click on Scan tab to see all the scanning options and manage the scan.
For printing, I used CUPS, browsed to http://localhost:631/ , had CUPS
find the wireless printer and add it as a system printer. This was so
simple and easy, I never looked at the hplip options although the
package is installed.
Regards,
Ralph
