A Caveat for the HP 6940 Printer [Posted on 2008-03-31]
A caveat for inserting a print cartridge into the inkjet printer...make sure the printer is turned on before you lift the cover. This allows the little plate in front of the cartridge receptacles to descend...otherwise this plate interferes with the cartridge insertion. I learned the hard way...I tried to insert new cartridges with the printer turned off; hence, the plate did not descend...and I forced it. In the process, I damaged the folding, wire spring that contacts the cartridge to complete the electrical circut...rendering the printer useless in part or whole.
This is an excellent inkjet printer...the mea culpa aspects aside...I've just ordered another HP 6940 Inkjet Printer from Amazon. I recommend this printer to any one...but be careful.
Good Printer for Home [Posted on 2008-04-10]
I just received this printer. I find it performs well. It is not the fastest printer, but for home use it performs well.
great [Posted on 2008-04-15]
Researched all over for what I wanted, lower profile, fast print with color, to replace my worn out HP 870Cse. This is it! Faster, with great color.
Great little printer [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I've been very pleased with this sleek looking inexpensive little printer. It has proven to be ideal for my small business application - easy to set up, fast, easy to operate. I'm still using the supplied ink cartridges after 2 months and don't expect to have to replace them for at least several more months. So, in addition to its impressive looks and operation, I expect it will prove to be very economical as well. In comparison to my much beloved previous Canon printer, I also appreciate that this one only requires 2 (vs. 6) cartridges. The print quality has also been outstanding. Definitely deserves 5 stars! After a disappointing hiatus of a few years, HP definitely has its "game on" these days! So, I will once again lean toward it for other products, as I had done when I first started my business about 10 years ago.
Not good for color photos [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I bought this printer because of the good reviews it got. However, it turns out this is NOT a good printer for color photos at all. It's OK if you are doing only text printing. The color photos are worse than the ones by my HP-722 it replaced -- you can go crazy adjusting the color by trial-and-error ... and use a lot of ink and photo paper. Also, there is no catch tray for the documents as they come out, and more often than not they just fall on the floor. It has problems printing envelopes, too, even the common business size. The first time I tried, it stopped like it was out of paper. I hit reset and it printed the envelope, but it didn't print straight; the text was skewed. I thought this was because it interrupted the print, but it was skewed on subsequent envelopes that weren't interrupted.
For color photo printing I plan to take my pictures to a professional service; it's cheaper. This printer will be just for text. My next printer will not be an HP.
