Compact & inexpensive color printer [Posted on 2008-11-16]
Bought this to replace a Dell 810 all-in-one printer that malfunctioned after less than two years. I would have given the product 5 stars except that the installation instructions for Windows XP are unclear and we encountered problems because we used the CD that came with the unit (CD was for Vista--that little devil of an operating system). Once we figured out that the CD was not necessary for Windows XP all went well. We had excellent technical support from HP in helping us resolve the initial problem. Bought this HP as the third desk side printer in our office when color printing is wanted. We have three of them now and so far, so good.
Review of HP 6940 Printer [Posted on 2008-11-22]
The 6940 is a very good printer. It does jobs quickly and reliably. In fact, I now have a total of four (4) 6940's hooked up with my different computers. It is my standard printer, and the bonus is that I only need one set of cartridges to purchase, because they will fit any one of them when needed.
Surprisingly, HP has kept the 6940 in production for several years which is very unusual. In the past I was forced to buy a different printer every time one had to be replaced.
The 6940 is really good at its job and I am gratefull that HP is keeping it available so long.
Not a good purchase [Posted on 2008-11-26]
I am very frustrated with this printer and support from HP. If I had kept the original packaging, I would have sent it back long ago. The printer doesn't "pull" the paper properly so every sheet has a trail of black marks which renders it useless for anything you want to hand out. Secondly, the black ink blobs on the page. When I went to HP for help all they could say was, "use another cartridge". Since I was using a new cartridge straight from their manufacturer this also frustrated me. I've changed cartridges with no change in quality.
If I were you, I'd look at another printer.
Good enough [Posted on 2008-11-29]
I needed a network color printer to supplement my laser on my linux home network. The 6940 fit the bill and the price was not too bad. Installation consisted of opening the box, removing some shipping tape, snapping the ink cartridges in, and plugging in an ethernet cable. That's it. I didn't even look at the instructions.
This printer makes pretty good photographic prints as well as standard paper color prints. It is pretty fast, the network feature works great, and the controls are simple. It's a slick product made by the premier inkjet printer manufacturer.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the 96/97 ink cartridges cost a ridiculous $39.95 (here on Amazon, more elsewhere). This printer uses the typical "lose money on the printer, make money on the ink" approach. Fortunately, there are refurbished cartridges out there that are half the price of the factory models. HP has announced inkjet printers that use much cheaper cartridges, but this isn't one of them.
Good value [Posted on 2008-12-03]
Not the most expensive, not the cheapest - A good, solid value for its middle-of-the-road pricing. Easy to use, easy to set up. No complaints after one month of use.
