We use it wired, and everything on the LAN can print to it at 192.168.100.5. It has a web interface for scanning that beats everything I've used before. IIRC the 8600 is an upgrade of the 8500. We've used HP exclusively since switching to Linux OSes in 2003, because HP provides drivers for Linux systems, and the quality of their product for the price beats the competition (IMO). I once did a fax from it, but refuse to use fax in the 21st century.
