Basic Good Home Printer

Hewlett-Packard's 940C is one step up from the 920C and there is not much difference. It's a good quality all-purpose printer that will print out clear text and pictures (on the correct type of photography paper). Its bare bones for printers. It is not the fastest, but are you really in a big rush? The good features are that it is fairly compact; the dpi is 600, which is the minimum you want and it works fine. It has all the features to print on labels, envelopes, stickers, etc. Simple one-touch buttons are great. This really is a great home printer and is very, very inexpensive. Now the clincher is that the inkjets are NOT cheap. However, I have had the "warning" come up on my printer stating that my inkjet will soon run out and it stays that way for a very long time. I have one handy, but I let the ink run ALL the way out. Hewlett-Packard makes good equipment. If I had the money and need, I'd spend $300 and get the HP Officejet Pro L7780 Color All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner.

I have had the 940 C for close to 8 years, it got me thru Graphic design school and at home projects. It saved my life. I used it with an older mac and a new PC and had no problems with it. I think most hardware errors are user error and unless the printer was damaged internally you should have no problem with it. I loved this thing.
I'm Glad It's Discontinued.

The initial setup was, as I expected, a pain in the butt. Someone needs to make printers and cameras as user friendly as other peripherals. I couldn't use the USB port because it just didn't work. My printer is hooked up through a serial port.
When I first started using it the quality was great. The text and pictures looked very nice and the prints came out pretty fast when I didn't have the quality turned way up. The printer came with some glossy pages and I got some really nice prints out of it.
Eventually (maybe 3 months later) my printer goes haywire and starts to print garbage. After restarting the printer and my computer several times it stopped. However, I eventually came to find out that my printer wouldn't print pictures anymore. What?!? I don't see how it can print text perfectly fine, but any kind of picture or shape does not show up. I've tried printing with the highest quality, changing ink cartridges, reinstalling, and upgrading but pictures always come out faint at best. It can become very annoying not being able to print out maps, diagrams, certain PDFs, slides, and other picture containing documents.
For the most part I don't need to print pictures that often (thank God for the school printers) but it's just ridiculous that some kind of software malfunction has disabled that feature. I gave it three stars because the text looks nice and the printing is fast.
