      Review : HP Deskjet 5940

      By paul_smart

      Review summary: A rapid printer that also produces rather nice photographs perhaps this could be the inkjet printer that is a good all rounder.

      Verdict: This is very nice fast printer in text mode and it also produces rather images in a very reasonable time. So if you require a printer to print both text and images this could well suit the bill

      HP Deskjet 5940

      By Robin Morris

      Review summary: The HP Deskjet 6540 made waves in our colour inkjets chart for over a year. Those still lamenting its demise will be glad to see that the firm's 5940 model offers a lot of the same, at an even juicier price.

      Pros: Excellent text quality ; optional cartridges can convert the printer into 6-color photo printer ; PictBridge USB port

      Cons: Slow to print our PDF test document

      Verdict: The Deskjet 5940 is easy to set up. It connects to your Mac via USB 2.0 and also includes a PictBridge USB port on the front for printing directly from PictBridge-compatible digital cameras. Unlike some ink-jets that use individual cartridges for each ...

    HP DeskJet 5940 By Alan Jones (08/05/2007)
    • Pros: Print quality
    • Cons: Very poor paper handling

    After about two weeks the printer stopped feeding paper without a lot of jiggling of the paper etc. Print quality, speed and noise was v good though. Read Full Review »
