Great Printer for Notebooks

 

Small footprint, low profile printer is ideal for a college student. Nice color prints and great for research papers

wish their replacement cartridges were cheaper

Concur that Printer is great for students

 

The price of the black and white/color cartridges is pretty decent...especially for a printer that doesn't cost too much.

It's a pretty simple printer, so don't expect it to do amazing things. But if you're a student, on a low budget, this printer seems to be reliable and most importantly, does the job quickly, quietly, and without any problems (so far)

I'm not sure if they have changed the link, but when you buy this printer, make sure you buy the CORRECT cable. The one that they advertise in "Compatible Upgrades and Accessories" labeled, " GENERIC USB 2.0 Extension Cable, 6FT, AM/ AF, Gray Model...

Cheap

 

Easy to set up, automated software install. Can see individual cat hairs in the test image I printed

Large-ish footprint (paper feeds into the front of the printer) and USB cable not included. The setup instructions suggest the black print cartridge is sometimes not included. Picture isn't very bright, but what do you expect for this price

Cheap

 

If you can afford it. Buy a better printer! It is not much faster than the deskjet I got in 2001. It easily jams, and feels flimsy. You get what you pay for

HP Deskjet 3940 C9050A#B1H Up to 16 ppm Up to 4800 x 1200-optimized dpi color and 1200-input dpi InkJet Personal Color Printer

 

Shipping took awhile, but it got here without problems. It came without a USB cord, but I already had one, so have one handy if you get this printer. Software is nice, has support for linux and it is a good quality printer.
