 "Poor Descreption of Product" 2010-09-25
By SatelliteBill
When I was searching for a printer I was searching for a Portable Printer. I selected this printer because the price was right. But this was far from a portable printer as could be expected. What it is, is a small printer for someone like a college student with limited space, it is certainly not a portable printer. I am a sales person who needs a portable printer that I can take on the road with me. This is not that small.

 "HP Deskjet 6940 printer has no factory Windows 7 driver, and TIPS...!" 2010-06-18
By scottls1 (Kalispell, MT USA)
HP has not made a full featured factory driver for the 6940 (Complain to support, and maybe...?!).

Win 7 auto-installs a generic driver that works ok for basic printing "only".



This prints High Quality, and I'd definitely recommend getting it!

All-in-one printers, are a waste of money for most! I prefer a separate scanner, that have lasted me for years! Epson Perfection V30 Color Scanner (good cheap scanner, and use Office Mode!)





There was no Ink level bubble showing when I printed (works on my XP system/ with downloaded driver), and no toolbox to troubleshoot?



I made the mistake of calling HP outsourced support (5 times/ 3 hrs on phone!), and what a bunch of "clueless" techs!

One was Very rude. Three cut me off, and one called back at 1am in the morning.

I would NOT recommend letting them log directly onto your computer!



I finally got ahold of a 2yr tech, that showed me how print a test page that also shows ink levels showing on E/F bars in the middle (wastes some ink though! Grrr!)-



Press the Power button, & turn on printer.

Now hold down the Power button, and press/hold the Cancel button (X) for 5sec.

Release buttons, and test page will print.

~~

To REALLY save on using up their "Small" Color ink cartdrige (ALL HP printers use color ink, even on text printing!- Black cartdrige is much bigger!)-



Right click on the 6940... Printer Icon (Control Panel/Devices & Printers...).

Printing preferences

Color Tab

Tick- Print In Grayscale, and Black Print Cartdrige Only. Apply/OK (leave other color settings alone!).

~~

Note: If a blank page prints, or you want to "temp" print Color/WP envelopes (only saves setting for that print session, then auto-back to Black only)-

File, Print, Preferences (reverse above)...



Note2!- If you are color printing photos..., that you want to last for more than 5yrs!?- DON'T buy inexpensive color refills, as they use Cheap Dye instead of HP's long-lasting pigment!

~

I also purchased their full replacement 3yr extended warranty, for 25 bucks (It's rare for a printer to last me 3yrs?)???

 "Good basic printer" 2009-12-02
By G. Frank (Atlanta, GA)
The reason I selected this printer is for the fact that the paper is enclosed in a covered area rather than just being left out open on a paper-feed tray. This helps keep the paper from becoming damaged by having the edges bent which would cause paper jams or the paper becoming dirty. (you'd be amazed at how many people eat stuff while hanging around the office printer while waiting for their documents to print.)

 "Is it a real photo? OMG" 2009-05-12
By Robert Bell
This is one quality "Photo" printer! It will handel heavy duty paper. Whats weird is it will also grab 2 or 3 sheets of regular paper. I have been amazed and people who I have givem them too think they are real photographs.

Also has special "ink" for doing just photo's.

 "Save your money - DO NOT buy this "printer"" 2009-04-30
By Geoff Southworth
I own a HP computer- so I thought when I needed a printer to also buy a HP - maybe they could talk to each other. Mistake #1. I purchased this "printer" in September 2008 and have since gotten to learn how to uninstall & reinstall the printer several times a week. The little light on the front burned out (after 3 months) and can not be fixed (HP support agreed). However, it is ONLY this little light that tells the machine you have cleared the paper jam, or that you have refilled the paper. So now, EVERY SINGLE TIME I need to refill the paper (because I forgot to load it daily) I get to uninstall & reinstall. If I get any type of jam, I get to uninstall & reinstall. If anything happens - including putting in new ink cartridges - I get to uninstall & reinstall. AND HP Support agrees this is my only option, other than buying another "printer." The machine does not recognize original HP ink cartridges, so the machine can never tell you the estimated ink level and frequently I get error messages of "not corect cartridge." And you can guess how I get to clear this message (uninstall again, reboot computer, reinstall printer).

Yes I have gotten quick at doing this, but still it is not an enjoyable task to having to do several times a week, because you bought this "printer!"

I am only waiting until I exhaust my inventory of those expensive ink cartridges until I dispose of this piece of trash. I hope Amazon prints this, although I admit I did not buy this thing from them.

 "Great Little Workhorse" 2010-08-10
By Happy HP User
For a very low price this is a Great Little Workhorse for everyday office (or personal) use! Currently, I have 4 printers (1 Epson Artisan 800 for photos & scanning; 2 HP LaserJet printers for B/W printing & this HP DeskJest 6940 Inkjet Color Printer). I chose this unit to replace an HP Printer we ran nearly 7 days a week for 5 years, and the space allocated for it was too small for most printers, but this one fit right in. The ink lasts a very long time as well. It also came with an ethernet cable so printing from the Mac it's connected to is quite fast. Of course you can still connect it with a USB cable if desired. I did not get the quick start up installation guide that was supposed to be in the box, but after years of installing printers, we all pretty much know what to do. I bought it through Amazon.com and as always when making a purchase from Amazon, it was a breeze to buy, shipping was very fast & it was exactly as featured. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

 "HP6940 Versatile" 2010-07-19
By David J. Katterhenrich (Overland Park, KS United States)
I bought this printer (6940) as a future back-up machine to a workhorse 6540 that is still going strong after 5+ years of moderate-heavy use. I've also previously purchased two others of this same model (6940) for family members, because it uses the same ink cartridges as my old machine and I've found reloading the ink cartridges myself fairly easy and very economical, using ink purchased online. With all family members on the same cartridges, it's easy to have extras ready to go. The printer is a real bargain, and I use an HP Wireless Printer Upgrade Kit to use it wirelessly.

 "HP Deskjet 6940 printer" 2010-07-18
By Jim L.
I believe this is one of the best work horse printers for the value. This is the second one I have had, I purchased the first one four years ago and it had worked perfectly untill the end of June 2010. It is also hooked into my home network thru the "network connection built into the printer", so all the computers can access and print. I also purchased the add on so you can print on both sides of the paper, which I transfered to the new printer with no problems. I give this product "five stars" and as long as they are available, I will use this printer.

 "terrible printer" 2010-07-09
By M. Raum (Blacksburg, VA United States)
This printer is a piece of junk if you need to print more than 3 double-sided pages. it constantly feeds multiple pages through on the second side. everything gets out of order -- there's half a page printed here and the other half printed over there on another piece of paper. all you have is a bunch of trash at the end. it makes you furious b/c you have a printer but you can't print what you want to without babying the thing through printing a couple of pages at a time. no one has time for that sort of nonsense. i had the same problem with my last hp printer which is why i got the new one. i guess double sided printing is just a lot to ask from the engineering wizards on the deskjet team. I know it's not their most expensive printer but it should at least be able to provide the functionality it is purported to have. I want to throw this thing off a cliff. if you buy this printer i hope your experience is much better than mine has been.
