HP Deskjet 6940 Color Printer (C8970A#B1H) Reviews
No trouble so far. This is a great printer. But it is solid as a rock. It is a little slower in printing the page than I thought it would be.
It's very quiet and starts printing almost immediately. HP makes good printers (although Canon & Kodak seem to have a good reputation amongst computer people). I'm a history buff so I print out multi-colored pages of text and photos, B&W as well as color. The price is quite nice for the quality. This printer does a good job, spits out the pages quickly, with good tonation. Because it's an ink jet printer, I give it 4 stars.
It sets up with a CD, very easy to do. (My old RX500 used to resentfully groan whenever I told it to print). I like the B&W photos, with an excellent gray scale.
Happily I found you can download only the driver, without the software, on this HP page:. Note that the date on this basic driver is April 2006 but that is also the date on the latest full featured 6940 driver on the HP site. As a basic printer for documents and various home printing chores I give this 5 stars. But I hope this driver-only link will be helpful.
Make sure to follow the instructions. And others have had problems with it. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex.softwareitem=bi-39216-2&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=467980&os=228. Many people like myself don't want to install the huge 250MB HP driver/software/bloatware bundle.
And I like the flat top to stack papers on. BUT I don't print photos with it so I can't comment on that.
Setup was easy and fast. A wonderful printer. A little work horse. Prints with good color and resolution.
Considering the modest cost, this machine is a good investment. The HP 6940 printer appears to be a worthy successor to my HP 722 that gave 10 years of outstanding service. The print quality is excellent. The 6940 is much faster, of course, and easily handles a wide variety of print jobs such as labels and card stock.
