HP Deskjet 5440 Review

by Paul Jasper

- The $80 HP Deskjet 5440 handles everyday printing tasks well, and is among the least-expensive printers we've tested that includes a direct-print port on the front for printing from PictBridge-compatible cameras.

User Reviews for HP Deskjet 5440

Reviewed by: algea1

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy setup, fast printing

Weaknesses: High cost for cartridges

Overall Evaluation: This is a pretty decent low-end photo printer: the price is acceptable, it is easy to set up, and it prints pretty fast with good quality. However, the ink cartridges are pretty small and quite expensive. To me, the printer is good for some casual photo printing (means it is not for printing photos regularly).

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: StylishFaster than our previous HP printer

Weaknesses: Still not as fast as a laser printer

Overall Evaluation: We bought this along with our new laptop because we found a rebate deal through HP, and after rebate it only cost us $20. For that price, how could we complain about anything?! Even so, it's much faster and sleeker-looking than our previous HP inkjet (DeskJet 930C). We haven't tried printing directly from our camera yet, or installed the special photo ink cartridge. So far, though, even the standard photo printing looks at least as good as what we got off the old printer so we look forward to trying the photo cartridge as well.
