HP Deskjet 5940 Photo Printer (C9017A#B1H) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Has worked for me for quite awhile--but there are problems
Comment: The DeskJet 5940 has been sitting in my home office next to my computer for several years now. It has never needed repair and it gets decent "mileage" from the cartridges. That is, my experience has been that the black and white as well as color cartridges generate quite a few copies before I need to replace them.

The downside? As others have noted, it tends to jam--especially when I use recycled paper. However, I find it more an annoyance than a major problem (hence, the 4 stars).

Overall, then, I have found this to be fairly dependable--but with the annoying habit of chewing up paper sometimes when the feed goes awry.

Summary: Awful piece of junk!
Comment: From the first day, this printer has jammed. It doesn't matter what paper it's using, it jams. And it's slow. The color ink? I swear there is nothing in the cartridge. Save yourself the time and energy and annoyance factor--buy something--anything--else!

Summary: Disappointed and Disgusted
Comment: Bought this printer about a year ago. I have been plagued with paper feed problems from the start. This printer never reliably fed HP paper and recently completely quit feeding paper all together. Called HP customer support only to be helped by a person who spoke very poor english. Took 15 minutes just to convey my name and number. Finally I was told there was no option other than upgrade to a newer printer for a cost. I know nothing lasts forever; however, it should last more than a year. Buyer beware. I would not recommend HP products based on this experience and a previous one involving their 'customer support' looking up my issue in Google (no lie, this what they told me over the phone) and an HP hard drive. Customer service is dead. Long live customer service!

Summary: Worthy of the JunkYard - NO STARS
Comment: NO STARS ... Don't waste your money on this. Note the cheap price, you get what you pay for. The paper feeder barely works, most of the time I have to feed it one sheet at a time. I had another HP (very expensive) printer with the same problem. So I guess I am the fool here. Unfortunately, Carly Fiorina ruined what used to be a good company (HP) by cheapening their products to the extent they are purely throw-aways that stop working the minute the warranty expires. A total piece of junk.

Summary: The 5940 is JUNK
Comment: Misery loves company and by reading the other reviews I can see I have plenty of company here. I bought this printer for my daughter to take to college. After a month it stopped feeding the paper no matter what you tried. Do Not buy this printer! I have other HP printers and they all work great. Stay away from the Deskjet 5940.
