I would avoid it--it has too many problems

bysevag Aug 13, 2008
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sleek design, wireless capability, mostly reliable
Cons weekly paper jams, not very quiet, and could be smaller in size
Recommended it? No

I bought the printer on eBay brand new for about $70 shipped. I was glad I bought it at first, even though I did not connect it to my wireless network, it still worked good as a plugged in printer to my desktop.

Eventually the printer stopped becoming recognized by my computer. I... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I'll admit, I was sucked into buying this printer because of the price (less than $100) and the fact that it was wireless.

I kept thinking this must be too good to be true. Well, I was wrong.

HP's installation software was easy to use and got the job done. The installation on my... Read full review »

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,...
