What You Should Know about the Deskjet 5940

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: 30 black and white color print per minute, high resolution: 4800x1200 DPI, give me a smooth and nice picture. Small size: easy for moving or carry with me.

Weaknesses: Too expensive HP color Inkjet Print Cartridges. So, I had to refill my cartridges after it was out.

Overall Evaluation: After I searched around for few weeks, I decided to buy this Photo Printer from Meijer. I bought this Photo Printer to print many pictures of my newborn son. Because of its high qualification, printing nice and high-qualified pictures, I printed many picture without thinking about the expensive Print Cartridges I had to buy later. After a day long, I checked its price in the store and online, its cartridges cost about $62.99 for the HP 97 Tricolor Twinpack. I decided to go with refill the all my Cartridges. So, if you don't care how much of this print cartridges, you can buy this Photo Printer.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: good quality printing, fast if noisy

Weaknesses: absolutely awful paper handling -- grabs paper unevenly, jams, grabs more than one page at a time, claims the paper tray is empty -- name it

Overall Evaluation: I usually like HP products, but this one is a bust. Have been using it for +/- 6 months and am about to give up. I would not buy it again, and I look askance at other HP products with the same type of paper feed.
