Pros: Fast text printing, beautiful color for brochures & reports.
Cons: HP installation software has limited options, doesn't always work well, forces unwanted software installation.
Summary: I purchased the 5940 InkJet printer to replace my home office printer. While I looked at other brands at the store, I've always had a good experience with HP printers, so I wound up buying the 5940 over comparable printers by Canon and Epson. I paid $89 ... read more

Pros: Solid. No cat access.
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE.
Summary: This is the worst piece of home electronics I have ever owned and that's including an old junker fan I got at a second hand store that shorted out and almost burned my house down. At least with that thing I knew it was a piece of ---- when I bought it. ... read more

Pros: Looks pretty.
Cons: Bad paper feed, bad print margins, bad support.
Summary: The HP DeskJet 5940 is the worst printer I have ever had the misfortune to use. I have had the printer little more than a month and the paper feed has deteriorated to the point where the thing is unusable. If it does feed, it jams. It's not down to ... read more

Pros: It is in fact shiny.
Cons: Excessive Paper jams and cannot print envelopes without reconfiguring entire printer.
Summary: I purchased the HP 5940 to replace my worn out Epson printer for my home office. I have had good experience with HP printers in the past -- thought I made a good choice. Not if you want good paper feed -- it will jam without even the slightest ... read more

Pros: Fast printing, nice looks, HP reputation and durability.
Cons: Forget that paper-catching arm just once and you'll never forget again!
Summary: So far, I love this printer. I'll get to the specs in a minute, but for now, let me give you a warning. With the fast black text printout of this thing, be sure to extend the paper out tray arm... because it will shoot the pages out at lightening speed ... read more

Pros: Prints pretty pics if you can get it to do so
Cons: Too many to list- buy a different printer. NOt worth eht $$ for the hassle
Summary: This printer is by far the worst I have ever purchsed. The paper jams all the time- I refuse to feed it one sheet at a time which is when it works sometimes. You can not print anything other than a full size sheet unless you change everything so printing

Pros: Quiet, nice looking, faux stainless top.
Cons: Short lifespan, lackluster image quality, poor tech support, mechanically problematic.
Summary: I paid well over 100.00 for this printer. Initially it did an acceptable job. The photos tended to have minute, horizontal lines in places with merely passable image quality. It was very quiet and quick. Over time it became noticeably louder and began to

Pros: Fast, nice color.
Cons: Ink cartridges don't last long and are expensive to replace.
Summary: I seem to be one of the few that has not had any problems with this printer. I've had mine for about a year and have printed a lot of pages. It has never jammed the paper - not once. It prints on cheap paper, it does labels, and it feeds envelopes with

Pros: The body style is attractive and the set-up is simple.
Cons: Worst printer of all time.
Summary: I usually like HP products. I run a small business and own about 20 printers. I recently tried out the HP Desk jet 5940 and I must say, it is not only the worst printer I have ever owned, it is probably the worst THING I have ever owned. I hate it. I

Pros: Ok, it's shiny.
Cons: Beauty is only skin-deep.
Summary: This printer will not print envelopes from Word using Tools without giving you an error of "paper mismatch". Every other printer I've used does it without a problem. HP site reveals it is a known issue and suggests three ways to solve it. One doesn't
