4 out of 5 stars HP Deskjet 6940 - Excellent Value.......2007-06-27

Excellent value for around $125. Multiple quality settings. "Best" quality more than suitable for professional business proposals, etc. Black & color cartridges, easy to install. Reliable - Daily use for 2 months and have not yet experienced a paper jam. Recommended!

1 out of 5 stars Not good printer.......2007-06-08

Not a good printer. It boasts high speeds, but at high speeds the print is shadowed and very hard to read. I sent this one back and got a Canon MP600 and am very happy with it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality.......2007-05-17

I have had a number of HP deskjets over the years...this one lives up to the excellent quality HP is known for. Black text prints super-fast, and colors are vibrant. I printed a black and white photo using HP Premium Plus Photo paper, and a photographer friend upon seeing it, asked when I had gotten a darkroom. Highly recommend this product.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Printer.......2007-05-12

I would highly recommend this printer. Pages are printed quick with great clarity. The price is definitely right as well.

3 out of 5 stars Beware the paper tray and wonky network setup for Mac.......2007-04-11

I just finished setting this guy up. It took about an hour and, as with so many devices these days, the boxed instructions were no help. I think it bears saying that I'm a Mac user, and have been for going on 20 years now. Manufacturers are really out of excuses for not having any Mac specific support on their devices, especially ones that proudly trumpet their Mac support right on the box.
Having said that, I spent the majority of time trying to get the printer to see the network, the Macs to see the printer and the printer to see the paper. Unless the tray is absolutely packed with paper--begging for a jam--then the printer balks at any printing.

Thank goodness for Apple's Bonjour, which allowed me to see the printer despite HP's software ultimately failing to be helpful.
After the setup nightmare, which really isn't any big deal when compared to most any printer you buy that isn't an Epson, the print quality is good and fast. I'd love this printer more if the setup weren't so mysterious. Ethernet is a nice feature at this price point, too. Good product, poor execution.
