Hewlett-Packard's 940C printer combines high-quality printing with a space-saving design that's ideally suited for small work areas. Weighing in at less than 20 pounds, it fits snugly into any 18-by-10-inch space and connects easily to your PC or Macintosh via either standard or USB connection.
Providing both outstanding detail and economic use of consumables, this thermal inkjet easily earns its keep in the home office. Color prints are churned out at up to 10 pages per minute, with a fully saturated 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution. Monochrome print jobs are processed at up to 12 pages per minute and receive a letter-perfect 600 dpi resolution. The 940C input tray handles 100 sheets of 20-pound paper in letter and legal sizes. Additional paper-handling options include all types of photo paper, stickers, index cards, and envelopes.
With simple one-touch operation and clear onscreen windows to navigate you through the printing process, everyone in the family can use this solidly built machine. Hewlett-Packard includes a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Midpriced winner
What I like about the HP Deskjet 940c: Printed output looks terrific, and it’s fast (more detail below). It’s very quiet. It has a Cancel Printing button on the printer console that does indeed immediately abort the current printing job, a very nice feature. It has an ink level display that can be viewed onscreen in the HP software as well as ink level warning lights on the console. Envelopes are not wrinkled running through the printer (a problem with some older HPs). There is also a convenient single envelope slot for printing just one envelope without removing the regular-sized paper from the tray, for which the loading capacity is 150 sheets. In my experience, HP printheads need much less time- and ink-wasting maintenance and fussy handholding than the clog-prone printhead on the 1998 Epson inkjet I just replaced. I can’t tell yet how long the ink cartridges last; I’ll try to post an update when I have a better bead on that.

Pleased with the HP 940C
I have owned this printer since Christmas ('01) and have had nothing but success with it. The print speed is great for text documents. I was also able to print great looking glossy slides for a poster presentation. The print cartridges seem to have a pretty good lifetime, as well. I haven't had any problems with paper jams. It has handled some documents with pretty hefty memory neeeds without locking-up too. Definitely, well worth the cost!
Disappointed BIG TIME!
This is our 2nd HP printer. Only to say, we regret buying it. The 1st HP printer, was purchased over 3 yrs ago. It's an 1100c series color printer that is on a "higher" end of the printer line.
Buying a G3 PowerBook had us looking for a USB compatible printer. At first, we purchased the LexMark Z55, which worked GREAT for almost year, before a faulty part went out. *(we do a LOT of printing).
So, thinking about how a former HP product was great, we got this one at the store when we were in a rush. We didn't even look at the demo. BIG MISTAKE!
1. SPEED, was the first disappointment - way too slow. LexMark speed is way better, even for photo quality pics. The ole 1100c is faster than this one too.
2nd disappointment was HP changed the printer cartridges. These are NO LONGER refillable. They have metal clips on the sides, and there is no way to refill them.
3. There aren't enough printing options available. Sometimes I wanted to makes changes that I could do easily with...
