Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP Deskjet 6940 Color Printer (C8970A#B1H)
Customer Review: Would be ok if it was not reliable, less ink-hoggy beast
Summary: 2 Stars
This would be a nice little printer, if it was not so unreliable, and hog ink such that it is not very affordable. After working ok for a month of light printing activity, starter ink cartridges is gone.
Then it's ordering on-line, figure out how the heck did one remove cartridges again (icons don't help if you don't remember exact way to remove the thing from thingamagic that holds them). But that'd be ok if (a) it was not as frequent an occurence (it is), and (b) if the damn thing did not basically break after couple of more months (which it did). Error code claims there's a problem with cartridge ("please clean"), but that does not seem to be the case.
Too bad that both Dell and HP appear to produce cheap unreliable printers. I would not mind higher price if these were not quite this disposable. As things are, choice is tricky, as even laser printers appear to be quite flaky (this was a replacement for otherwise fine, but broken-after-1-year, Dell laser).
