Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP Deskjet 6940 Color Printer (C8970A#B1H)
Customer Review: GOOD PRINTER - GOT IT FOR AN AMAZING PRICE
Summary: 5 Stars
NEW UPDATE - BACK TO A 5 STAR PRODUCT (AUGUST, 2010) - I don't even remember the problem I mentioned. I did get a Wireless N Router (on sale) and for the first time used this printer's Wireless Options. Since going wireless, it has functioned MUCH MUCH BETTER and without a single problem ... Using the Wireless connection.
Having gone "Wireless Printing" - I would not (and could not) ever go back to a USB attached Printer. GO FOR THE WIRELESS IF YOU CAN. IT'S MUCH BETTER - FOR MANY REASONS (THE CONNECTION, SPEED, REDUCED JAMS/PROBLEMS, NO CORD, FASTER CPU USE/PROCESSING AND PRINTING TIME AND MUCH QUIETER .... ONLY BECAUSE I CAN PUT THE PRINTER FAR FROM ME AND MY LAPTOP ... SO I DON'T HEAR A THING NOW WHEN I PRINT.
UPDATE: JUST AFTER WRITING MY REVIEW - MARCH 23, 2010 PRINTER STOPPED WORKING AND THE HP DRIVER IS IN A PERMANENT RE-INSTALL MODE WHEN I TRY TO USE THE PRINTER.
SO MUCH FOR MY GIVING SUCH A GOOD REVIEW.
I have a HP Laptop (despite a lot of negative HP reviews I have seen around, I've never had a problem) and figure I ought to buy HP components/accessories whenever possible to make sure it will install as easily as possible.
This one was an instant install (well, it took a lot of HP downloading and installing of software, automatically, but a lot) and works great.
BIGGEST CON: The PRICE of the replacement cartridges. I bought this printer because at the time my existing printer was out of ink and a new set of in cartridges was literally more expensive than this brand new printer (black friday kind of sale).
CON: The environmental cost of the PRINTER PRICING AND MARKETING. Printers go on sale a super cheap prices to get you 'hooked' on the manufacturers brand AND THEN THEIR INK.
Note: I thought my next printer would be the Kodak All In one .... ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CHEAPER INK PRICES ... I am not sure of this, but I have been told that Kodak is cheaper ink, BUT Kodak requires SPECIAL KODAK PAPER which is much more expensive ... totally negating the ink price savings. (not confirmed)
PRO: CHECK ON AMAZON FOR IN REPLACEMENT/REFILLS. I HAVE FOUND ONE SELLER WHO I HAVE USED TWICE WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS .... AND CAN GET REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES FOR ONLY $8. They are 'remanufactured' or something like that, but work GREAT! The best price for HP NEW replacement ink cartridges (number 96) is extremely HIGH and should be considered before buying this printer.
Otherwise, I am a light, infrequent printer user, but have had wonderful and easy results from this printer for over a year or two. LOOK FOR A GOOD SALE PRICE! :)
