Advantages: Good quality Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges
...We recently bought this printer as a replacement to our old HP printer 500c which stopped sucking up paper properly. The advantage of this printer is that it has slots for both a black and a colour cartridge which means an end to swapping when you want to print colour.
The printer is quite fast as is much superior quality than I am used to. The colours are bright and sharp and even photos turn out quite well. The problem with this as with any ink jet printer is that the ink is so expensive. Over £25 a cartridge gives it considerable running costs....

I bought this printer cos i found it for £99! Bargain! It was a one off.
I must say I was very impressed with its quality and ease of use. It is big, but it prints A3!
I bought some good quality HP A4 photo paper to start with and the colour... more
The 6940 is the sort of a solid, reliable printer you would expect from HP - with very easy connection through USB. Quality of output on ordinary paper with standard cartridges is very good and, on the correct paper with the photographic cartridges,... more
Most printer owners are used to printing onto a4 and smaller sizes of paper, some people might however need a printer that can print onto the large a3 size of paper for whatever needs.
I guess if you don’t need this feature a lot then this printer more
I have been using this printer for more than one year and I am quiet happy with its performance but simply, It could be a little better.
HP deskjet 3920 takes its position seriously for a simple printer. Also the price is much cheaper than others.... more
The 6980 is a well built printer, but to get this level of quality, HP have had to compromise on size and weight. A hefty 6.4kg, and measuring 36.7 cm deep means most people will have to take advantage of the wireless capabilities and place it away from... more
I bought this printer to use at university for printing up documents and essays for class, but at £59.99 it is a costly printer just to do that!
The printer is supplied with a small amount of 'photo paper' which used to print photos on gives a quality... more
