Summary: No Complaints Here! Love it!
Review: I've had this printer for almost three years and it's still kicking butt. It's probably the 5th printer I've had and all of the others (Canon, Epson, Lexmark and HP) fell apart within a year.
I suspect the reason this printer has survived so long it that I bought an extended warranty on it with the expectation that it would soon find it's way to the dump with it's predecessors.

Summary: Worked fine, broke quick
Review: My HP Deskjet 500 worked for more than seven years before I finally traded up for a color printer - the 940c. I've had the 940c for just over 1 year and it has broken. I'm buying a Canon this time and keeping my fingers crossed for better quality.

Review: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRINTER, I have had a Hp 1100 and had moderate success with it, after a few months the multiple paper pickup and jam problem kept occuring with no satisfactory fix, I just got this printer and it is even worse, it does not print correctly and multiple jams even after two hours out of the box, the copy was consistantly misaligned. I am sending it back.

Summary: Best Buy for a Photo Quality Printer
Review: The Hewlett Packard 940C is one of the best PHOTO QUALITY Printers on the market. It uses the exact same color and black and white cartridges as the more expensive photo quality printers, therefore a higher model is only for luxury not quality. The speed of pages per minute is excellent, as is the color quality. In price it has over time completely held its value.

Summary: Simple and efficient to use!
Review: The HP 940C gets the job done. Its horizontal paper feed means few if any paper jams. The two cartridges it comes with will work for many, many copies especially if you chose
an economy setting for your printing jobs.
This baby works flawlessly with my Power Mac G3.

Summary: One major draw back!!
Review: The printer does deliver a nice quality picture and was easy to install. Its major disappointment is the cost of ink cartridges and the rate at which it uses ink. (Even when printing in gray scale). I now know to more thoroughly research the next printer I purchase for its long term efficiency and costs of ink. As far as usage goes the printer has worked well for over a year without any problems or crazy complications.

Summary: Great But?
Review: This is a great printer for any use up to 8X10 photo production. The "But" in the review is the cost of ink and the fact that it uses a single cartridge. I run out of one color ink even with it set to a lighter setting in the printing menu and I am out of luck. The rest is wasted. The two sided printing is great ...particuclary with all these programs now having the 'manual' on the CD to print....

Summary: Disappointed BIG TIME!
Review: This is our 2nd HP printer. Only to say, we regret buying it. The 1st HP printer, was purchased over 3 yrs ago. It's an 1100c series color printer that is on a "higher" end of the printer line.
Buying a G3 PowerBook had us looking for a USB compatible printer. At first, we purchased the LexMark Z55, which worked GREAT for almost year, before a faulty part went out. *(we do a LOT of printing). So, thinking about how a former HP product was great, we got this one at the store when we were in a rush. We didn't even look at the demo. BIG MISTAKE! 1. SPEED, was the first disappointment - way too slow. LexMark speed is way better, even for photo quality pics. The ole 1100c is faster than this one too. 2nd disappointment was HP changed the printer cartridges. These are NO LONGER refillable. They have metal clips on the sides, and there is no way to refill them. 3. There aren't enough printing options available. Sometimes I wanted to makes changes that I could do easily with the older 1100c series printer. I found that the options change depending what program I am on, therefore making it more confusing. (to go into detail on this subject, I'd have to write a long long explanation). Basically, it was a LET -down, I don't even want to keep this thing. I'm better off buying a different printer, with refillable inks. Ink is just too EXPENSIVE to be purchasing and not refilling.
4. When the Black ink starts running low. It Basically makes you change the cartridge. It doesn't allow you to run the printer on low black ink. The machine stops functioning, and the big ink light blinks, and sends a message to your computer, saying STOP! Color inks run low, and the computer allows you to function with low color, but different story on the black ink.

Summary: Loved it, then it left me...
Review: This is the 3rd HP printer I have owned and it has broken the fastest. My first one was around for four years of college, then it died. The second, an 820 Cse lasted about 18 months. The 940c lasted me just over a year and died. Add to this the fact that the cartridges are expensive (I'm stuck with 6 of them) and don't last terribly long. I'm thinking laser to replace this one, and a Canon inkjet for color printing.

Summary: Best printer I have ever owned
Review: This printer is awesome have had mine for over a year and i hate hp!! But this printer ROCKS!!!
For all those that say the ink runs out and is too expensive... BUY THE LARGE INK TANKS... if your cheap at the counter and buy economy size your getting ripped you can buy the large size and double the ink for minimal extra.
The tanks aren't refillable for very good reasons, like print quality. Speed is awesome try to print an 8X10 on a lexmark and you will find out that the lexmark is left behind and not as pretty.
I'm an IT pro so i get to deal with trouble printers all the time and this one i NEVER see. The next best printer to this would be an epson. in the end the people who complain about this printer are probably trying to be cheap and save a buck by buying junk ink, or the economy taks and NON decent paper hence paper jams etc.
Throw some nice injet paper or even standard xerox paper in it and get nice text... throw in some HP photo paper and get BEAUTIFUL photos up to 8X10. Closing words... VERY NICE!!
