...The HP 840C is my second HP printer, my first one being the 640C which I purchased a couple of years ago. I have had my HP 840C for 6 months now and i'm very happy with it. It has been a very sturdy machine, with good, fast printing speeds, excellent quality printing both on cheap and expensive paper, and also you dont need to use it on best quality to get good results as the standard quality is good enough for most jobs. I haven't seen a better printer for printing out photos on than the photo quality that we can see in this printer when used with HP photo quality paper.
Operation of this machine and maintenance tasks like changing ink cartridges is an absolute doddle. I haven't had to replace my cartridges yet however because this printer is very economical when it comes to ink use and you can also use cheap paper for generic tasks...

Advantages: Good value for money Disadvantages: A little noisy
...in full colour on photographic paper and was flabbergasted by the results. Lately I have had to refill and I chose to do this by injecting the ink with an HP Refill Colour Kit. I have to admit that i did do a small mess (i somehow managed to spill blue ink on the outside of the cartridge!!!) but all in all everything turned out smoothly.
A downside of the printer is that it does not have a cancel printing button, however this is not really essential as the task can be done through the computer. Anodther disadvantage of the printer is that it can be a little noisy and really literally 'rocks' the (sturdy) table on which I put it. However i am ready to expose myself to a little noise if that means i can save a few quid.
The Installation process was preety straightforward. I plugged it in through the USB and it worked. Simple as that...

...This product is a workhorse...
It is an extremely reliable server and is very robust. This is a server we use and is dedicated to working as a worldwide gateway to the corporate network and allows seamless transactions to take place. HP is a name that people can trust and this server will not disappoint the consumer. You get a lot of value for your money and you in turn get a very well made piece of kit that will serve you for many years. Whatever configuration you choose, you will be adding a solid member to your network. HP backup is also second to none should you need to use it and initial setup is easy even for the not so experienced techie to set up....

Hoorah! it is the one month anniversary since I purchased this laptop. So here is my (pretty much) expert opinion on how it has treated me.
Firstly, It is a solid purchase but only for very casual or business users. It is light and punches well above... more
