Good home office printer

byonederwhy Feb 14, 2006

Pros Fast text printing, beautiful color for brochures & reports.
Cons HP installation software has limited options, doesn't always work well, forces...
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the 5940 InkJet printer to replace my home office printer. While I looked at other brands at the store, I've always had a good experience with HP printers, so I wound up buying the 5940 over comparable printers by Canon and Epson. I paid $89 for the printer, and got lucky and bought it... Read full review »

A Pickin' You Could Go!

Pros Fast printing, nice looks, HP reputation and durability.
Cons Forget that paper-catching arm just once and you'll never forget again!
Recommended it? Yes

So far, I love this printer. I'll get to the specs in a minute, but for now, let me give you a warning. With the fast black text printout of this thing, be sure to extend the paper out tray arm... because it will shoot the pages out at lightening speed and if there's nothing there to stop them,...

Worst printer ever

Pros Looks pretty.
Cons Bad paper feed, bad print margins, bad support.
Recommended it? No

The HP DeskJet 5940 is the worst printer I have ever had the misfortune to use.

I have had the printer little more than a month and the paper feed has deteriorated to the point where the thing is unusable. If it does feed, it jams. It's not down to paper quality either... since I'm using... Read full review »

Pros Quiet, nice looking, faux stainless top.
Cons Short lifespan, lackluster image quality, poor tech support, mechanically problematic.
Recommended it? No

I paid well over 100.00 for this printer. Initially it did an acceptable job. The photos tended to have minute, horizontal lines in places with merely passable image quality. It was very quiet and quick. Over time it became noticeably louder and began to experience numerous paper feed jams. I ran... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Problem #1 I bought this printer in January of this year, and almost right away I had problems with it not feeding paper in correctly.

Problem #2 Printing envelopes. With just one envelope in the printer, it feeds in, gets ready to print and then just stops. At that point, the ink and... Read full review »

Not a Good Printer

bymh123 Oct 4, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks, speed when it actually prints
Cons Weak feeder, envelope printing
Recommended it? No

As noted in other reviews, it cannot print envelopes correctly.

Also, the paper feed is terrible and cannot detect paper, requiring you to manually push the paper through. Terrible for an HP. Read full review »

Pros The body style is attractive and the set-up is simple.
Cons Worst printer of all time.
Recommended it? No

I usually like HP products. I run a small business and own about 20 printers. I recently tried out the HP Desk jet 5940 and I must say, it is not only the worst printer I have ever owned, it is probably the worst THING I have ever owned. I hate it. I have to feed it every sheet or it jams. It is... Read full review »

Pros Solid. No cat access.
Cons EVERYTHING ELSE.
Recommended it? No

This is the worst piece of home electronics I have ever owned and that's including an old junker fan I got at a second hand store that shorted out and almost burned my house down. At least with that thing I knew it was a piece of ---- when I bought it.

We got this printer at the local one... Read full review »
