 "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.

 "Canon Imageclass D480" 2010-09-11
By Stan
The D480 is the next generation of the Canon D880/860. The major differences are the D480 has a letter size platen and not legal size platen like its predecessors, and so it is smaller and has a more convenient footprint.



It's fast. easy to use. Great Scanning capability, prints like a charm, and copies quickly and easily. Never had a problem with this unit.

 "Good for the home office." 2010-08-22
By Mike (Toms River, NJ)
My wife and I make a ton of photocopies for home and work related projects. I decided to find a unit that was a photocopier first, then a printer/scanner/fax. We purchased the d480 after a bit of shopping and research, and a $[...] mail in rebate, and are happy with the choice. I have printed/copied over 1000 pages now and I would purchase this unit again.



The set-up of the unit, however, is extremely frustrating. I am comfortable installing just about any kind of drivers and software, including operating systems and major upgrades, and this unit's installation was very complicated. On the PC, setting up the printing function was very easy, and the scanning function wasn't too much harder. Setting up the network printing/scanning was a bit more complicated, but not more so then any other network printer. The Mac on the other hand, is an absolute nightmare, and I still have not been able to get the scanning function to work on the Mac. Most Mac OS X users are used to Mac's auto detecting printers with little issue. Forget it with the d480. The instructions are very poor. This unit also seems to be designed better as a network unit then a USB unit.



Printing speed and quality is excellent, and the unit is a very capable copy machine. The top loading feeder works extremely well. Other multi-functions that I've used have had top loader issues. I have only tested the fax function twice as we no longer have a land-line (didn't need it). The ScanTools utility that it comes with for scanning is OK. I like HP Scan much better. The scan quality is excellent however.



Overall, once you get it setup, you will be happy with your purchase. I don't know if it could handle a large office of 50-plus terminals, but for a home or small office, it should be just fine.

 "Lovin' this Printer" 2010-07-25
By Mr. G (Roselle Park, NJ)
I'm lovin' this printer. Got it for $[...] after [...] at Staples. Coming from a long line of unreliable inkjets, this really blows all of them out of the water. The fax and copy functions are an added bonus even though I will primarily be using the machine as a PC printer.



Like some other reviewers, I initially had severe problems with lag when using the network scan feature with drivers that came on the CD. However, after I installed the updated drivers and firmware from [...], network scanning worked great (better, in fact, than my standalone HP scanner at work). It's good to see that Canon listened to it's customers' complaints and resolved the network scanning problems with a software update. The Canon also came with OmniPage Pro SE, which is a very powerful scanning and OCR tool...a very nice touch.



I would recommend this product in a heartbeat, even at full price. I hear that this particular model has been discontinued, so be on the lookout for a good deal on a great product!

 "Back to store" 2010-06-25
By David Shinnick

I have years of computer/printer/network experience, so I'm not new to this.



Printer won't print from Windows 7 unless I stop and start the Print Spooler service.



Won't print at all from Mac, though I admit I'm not a Mac expert. Just get an error message that the printer is offline or can't be accessed. I followed tech support's suggestions to reset the printer, repair permissions, reboot, and reinstall the driver. No help.



Canon tech support is great, though they weren't able to solve either problem.



I've lost confidence in the printer. If I'm having this many problems right out of the box, what's does the future hold?



Back to the store. Looks like it had potential. Lots of features, love the duplexing, copy function worked fine. Too bad.

 "Good in general, problems with Mac" 2010-05-24
By Srinivas (ROCHESTER, IL, United States)
My experience with this printer is very mixed. It worked for a short time with my iMac G5 and then after upgrading to Leopard, it quit working. I reinstalled the drivers multiple times, with no gain. Canon helpdesk was understanding, polite and patient, but could not resolve the issue. Same issues with my Macbook pro as well. Neither Canon nor Apple could resolve the issue. They both pretty much went through the same steps - removing the drivers and reinstalling with restarts in between. Subsequently the scanner worked with both, but the printer just refuses to work. Funny thing is, it works fine with Windows installed on my Macbook Pro using bootcamp. No problems there at all. When I bought a new Dell laptop, it worked fine with that too (only, it's too irritating to work with Windows after using OS).



About other issues, I had no problems using it as a copier. Print quality is good. Never used for fax. Scanner quality is ok, but automatic feeder always gave lines. Couldn't get rid of them, no matter how many times I cleaned the area as suggested.



The supplied software is so so. Could be improved much. No options for selecting the compression level for PDF or JPEG. On Mac, the option to scan multiple pages is nonexistent (available with Windows). If you scan a multiple page document, it generates multiple documents.

 "It's a good printer and fax machine" 2010-04-06
By XXL (Fremont, CA)
I bought this printer because of the big rebate from Canon, but I did not expect a such great printer. I have not tried out the fax yet, but its quality is great as a printer and copier. Besides, Amazon's service is really the best. It has been my favorite on-line store for years.

 "Surprisingly good for such an inexpensive device!" 2010-04-02
By Marilyn Taylor (Kennewick, WA USA)
The machine was easy to set up and works well both as a fax and as a printer. At first, I thought I was only going to use it as a fax machine, but my desktop went on the blink and I replaced it with a notebook running Windows 7 starter edition. I found the drivers online, downloaded them, and used the machine to print some maps & e-mails. It prints very quickly -- much more so than the HP LaserJet 6P I have.

 "Good Printer once I solved spped problem and found cheap ink" 2010-09-19
By Don Jolly (New Orleans)
I will echo another reviewers comments which helped me alot. "Printer Status Notification (hpmsn083.dll ) was a pain. On XP Machines (Vista machines okay), with a peer to peer network, it would result in very slow spooling and 100% CPU usage". I am running XP pro 32 bit SP3 on a 2.8 P4 with 2Gb ram and the spooling time was killing me. Not only was the copy of any document with graphics taking some times (as long as 20 minutes to have 2 pages print) but the computer was tied up with CPU running at 100% the whole time. Within seconds of sending a print you could hear both fans crank up to high speed due to the heat being generated by the CPU.

Here is the answer to this: Go to the START menu (lower left) then click on "printers and faxes", right mouse click on the printer name, then Go to and right mouse click on "properties", Go over to the Device Settings tab and disable the !@#$ Printer Status Notification in Properties. Dont ask me why but it works and now all is good, after much wasted time.



Other than that, printing B&W and color is good, There is paper curl, but apparantly there is a setting to diminish that. there are some weird light clunking sounds from printer but function is fine. I found after market non-HP toner for about $40 on Amazon. I have no complaints and it is much cheaper.

 "What an excellent product for a good price." 2010-08-31
By Roger (Miami, Fl)
I highly recommended. It works excellently. The traditional good quality in HP. The only problem is when you start purchasing those so expensive replacement toner cartridges with the abusive price from HP.

 "Not for Moderate Office Use" 2010-08-19
By Brent Larson
Would not recommend for more than 4-5 people using this printer. We had 2 of these in our office with only about 12 people printing between the 2 of them and after a few months, both developed yellow and/or blue streaking on everything it printed it out.

 "So Pleased that I Purchased a Second One" 2010-08-14
By Southern Magnate (Boca Raton, FL USA)
The quality of the text print is second to none! I do not use this for photos, however. It creates a very professional look -- one you cannot get with an ink-jet. Many documents I create have faint watermarks and the printing is phenomenal.



HP says their ink cartridges produce 2600 pages. This is baloney. Actually 500 is closer to the truth!



I use this printer often and the cartridges started to get costly so I switched to refurbished cartridges. For about $40 you can get cartridges from "Sophia Global." I've already been through about a dozen refurbished cartridges and I cannot tell the difference between them and the HP cartridges. The quality is 100% equal.



Sophia Global has better customer service than Office Depot or Staples (or HP for that matter).



The only gripe is that this printer is loud and goes through a self-cleaning several times a day -- so all of a sudden it starts the cleaning process out of nowhere and scares the daylights out of me.

 "Don't waste your money" 2010-07-11
By Sue Bechtel (Wauwatosa, WI United States)
Buyer beware. I received this printer from my company for my home office and after 5 months it completely stopped working due to an error code that I cannot reset on the printer. After installing a replacement ink cartridge you, too, are likely to receive an error code telling you to "remove shipping lock" from the replaced ink cartridge even if you have already removed the shipping lock (which is a plastic strip you pull out before installation). After a month of Googling a solution and many hours on the phone with HP...you guessed it...still sitting here with this non-functioning lemon. All you have to do is Google "remove shipping lock from HP CP 2025" and you will discover a plethora of bloggers complaining about this darn printer. I WOULD NEVER SPEND MY OWN MONEY ON THIS MACHINE. Thankfully my company paid for mine but the frustration level is the same and trust me...the level is HIGH!!! What a pain in the you-know-what to waste my time on a problem that HP is well aware of yet cannot seem to figure out how to repair. Take it from me and all of the other frustrated CP2025 owners and buy another brand. After reading the blogs I sense this problem crosses over to other HP models as well.

 "worse laser printer ever" 2010-09-15
By reader in pacific
DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!! I have had this printer for 6 months and have already had to replace all the toner and the drum units but have only had less than 1000 prints!! This is not covered under warranty, I cannot return the product and I have already spent more in supplies than I did for the printer. Called brother for help, got redirected 3 times and then they sent me what was in the user manual. Useless customer service...even more useless product. DO NOT BUY!!!

 "Does what it is supposed to!" 2010-09-10
By E. Kerby (Salt Lake City, UT)
I purchased this printer a few weeks ago, and I love it! My eyes teared up a little when I saw the demo test page because it is SO nice to finally have a printer that actually does what it is supposed to.



If you need something really really fancy, I don't know how this printer compares to really really fancy printers, BUT, for my home office, this printer is absolutely perfect.



It was VERY easy to set up this printer. The instructions that come with it are totally clear, and everything is straightforward. The diagrams and pictures make sense. It's the kind of thing where you skip steps here and there (because they are just common sense) but if you have any question or confusion, you can look at the instructions and you immediately understand. (Setup was slightly different for our PC and mac, but the instructions cover both types, and both were very easy.)



I didn't have a USB 2.0 cable anymore (whoops!), so I had to go buy one, because that doesn't come in the box.



Everything since setup has been a dream--we press print and it asks the things that printers are supposed to (like about size and DPI, etc), and then it PRINTS! (Our old printer used to be such a pain--it would gray out some options that I wanted sometimes, and it would pop up a bunch of boxes on my screen about ordering Lex***k stuff and registering (again!), and then it took forever to print and needed to realign all the time...none of that nonsense with our new Brother, though!)



I think the quality of the pages I've printed has been exceptional. The printer seems to go to sleep pretty quickly when I am not using it, but as soon as I am ready to print, it wakes right up and gets down to business. The printer prints quickly--it says 17 pages per minute. Now, I haven't counted how many pages per minute I actually get, but each page only takes a few seconds, so that has been quite convenient.



I don't really have anything negative to say about this printer. The features I most wish it had are:

- scan/copy (but obviously I knew it didn't do that when I bought it, and I much prefer this printer that PRINTS over the old "printer" that could scan/copy all right but did not print very well...)

- wireless printing (would be nice, but it's not a big deal, and they make them with wireless; you just have to pay more.)

- duplexing. (Oh well.)



My favorite features are:

- (nice) color printing!

- mac compatible!

- prints quickly!



In conclusion, I highly recommend this printer (especially for homes and small businesses)! It does what it is supposed to. For my small business it has been great so far, as it creates very professional looking documents.

 "Print is ok, when it prints" 2010-08-27
By John Nordin (Minnesota, USA)
My first review was eaten by Amazon for some reason, reposting.



The print quality is quite nice and it prints quickly on 8.5x11 paper. Everything else about this printer is a nightmare of poor usability. Let's list the problems:

-- toner doesn't last very long

-- low toner message on computer doesn't tell you which one is low.

-- they don't make clear that you need to buy drums in addition to toner, just not as often.

-- printing costs are very expensive when you factor in toner and drums

-- display is old technology and is hard if not impossible to read unless you are looking at it head on in direct light

-- display is limited to one slowly scrolling line

-- when one toner gets low, printing just stops. Doesn't print faded, doesn't print bxw if color toner is out, it just up and totally quits.

-- menu of paper sizes is weird and doesn't include 4x6 or 5x8. List doesn't include the sizes, you have to look at the help for that.

-- single sheet feeder is needed for most non 8.5x11 sizes

-- single sheet feeder is prone to jams

-- paper path is complex, would be tough on thick paper, I think

 "Great printer for the money." 2010-08-16
By J. Baker
I was on the market for a MacOSX compatible, network color printer and the Brother HL-3040CN was on a Clearance Sale at Staples for only $99.50. At that price I snapped it up. It is a nice printer so far. The software install and setup as a network printer was amazingly quick and easy. I like the idea of the toner on the printed pages not being water soluble. Toner cartridges were over $78 at Staples so I ordered a replacement Brother TN210BK toner cartridge from Amazon for approx. $48. The only feature I would add to this printer is the convenience of Auto Duplex printing. I will not miss the constant clogging of the printhead on the older color inkjet printer that this printer is a replacement for.

 "Great basic printer" 2010-08-08
By M. McShane (Virginia, United States)
I bought this printer for home use. I don't print often--just coupons or shipping labels or word documents mostly. I don't do any fancy printing jobs or photos so I can't comment on how it does with those. I wanted something that the ink wouldn't dry up in a few months and the Brother laser printer seemed like a good choice. So far, it has worked great. It is attached to my home network through ethernet, I turn it on when I want to print and off when I am done. Warm-up time is really quick and print quality is a-okay. Initially, it smelled slightly of burning or ink dust (I wasn't really sure which) but that has faded over the past few months. I am quite pleased with my printer.
