  Overall Rating: 4 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:3 Days

  Strengths: This Printer has it all. The HP Deskjet 5740 is extremely fast and reliable. It senses the paper type automaticly and even tells you which ink cartrage is out. Great price for a great product Quiet, nicely built. Very beautiful and streamlined

  Weaknesses: Power Brick, but other than that nothin really. No USB cable was included requires a B/A cable

  Overall Evaluation: If you have cats that like to play on your computer desk make sure that you put the tray up after you're done with it as enough weight can break it off as it is on the front and has a front paper tray.

  Duration of ownership:1 Days

  Strengths: Fast, print quality is good.

  Weaknesses: Printer is fairly large. Supplies are expensive.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a great general purpose light volume printer. The print quality, like most of the newer HP DeskJet printers is very good in both black and color. The printer is a little large for an inkjet, but it isn't unreasonable. The only problem is that the print cartriges (like most other ink printers) are quite expensive and don't last very long; but I believe they do contain about twice as much ink as the 92/93 series cartridges that some of the other newer HP printers use. I'd try to avoid any of the HP printers that use the 92/93 cartridges.

  Strengths: Inexpensive; easy to use

  Weaknesses: Too expensive to keep

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer when it's on sale. It's almost free after a few rebates. So I'm happy with whatever it offers. It's very easy to set up. Actually the printing quality is excellent. However, I know I wouldn't keep it too long since it's very costly to buy the inks.

  Duration of ownership:6 Months

  Strengths: Very high printing quality; fast

  Weaknesses: ink expensive

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this inkjet printer about half a year ago. I think I made the right decision buying it. The quality is very good. However, as with all inkjet printers, the ink costs too much. So I usually use it only once in a week or so to prevent from spending too much.

  Overall Rating: 3 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: High draft-mode speedGood colour & greyscale quality

  Weaknesses: Unreliable feeder for the second side of 2-sided documentsFeeder obstructs output

  Overall Evaluation: Given the price, it is a reasonably good buy. The draft-mode printing is quick and still prints well in black & white .. don't do draft printing with colour. The feeder is an issue. First of all, the feeder is obstructed by the printed output. Secondly, stacking input sheets into the feeder is risky; double-grabbing is almost guaranteed on the second side of 2-sided documents. I put out a weekly 2-sided bulletin and I cannot trust this printer to feed correctly on the back side so I just stand there and feed it manually [)-;].
