Pros: All the features Cons: Should have been little cheaper
Pros: Great value $99 and free shipping direct from HP Cons: None
Strengths: Quick Accurate Weaknesses: sometimes spotty Summary: It prints fairly quickly, is very accurate and has good color pictures. It always works when I plug my computer in directly, and almost never screws up with very small document sizes wireless
Strengths: Wireless, prints beautifully Weaknesses: Printer goes to "sleep" - wired computer will "wake up" printer - wireless will not - I have to go and turn on for the wireless to work. Summary: I called tech support and the setting
HP Deskjet 6540 [PC Pro]COMPANY: Hewlett - PackardDATE: Nov 04Verdict: Excellent text quality, high speed, expandability and smart styling aren't quiteenough to make this basic printer competitive.The 6540 is the first unit we've seen from HP�
I'll start by saying that the reason I purchased this printer was that in an issue of Consumer Reports, where they rated photo printers, this one came out #1. Normally I'd never buy something like this over amazon, but they did have the best pri
This is the 4th home printer for me and without question this printer has been the best hands down. It does not matter which catagory I review, the printer is just flawless. The way that the printer was constructed allows one to not worry about the proble
I bought this printer to replace my HP 950 and it is very comparable to that printer. I am happy with the way it performs..the software is even better than the 950. I am hoping this printer stands up the way my HP750 and HP950 have.
In this world of many choices, it's a relief to know that there are brands which continue, again and again, to keep up with the quality they started with. HP is one of those brands. My 6540 is as good as my former 5150 printer, only faster and simple
This printer was worth every penny! It creates phenomenal color photos and prints black and white documents very quickly. Another feature that I like is that it prints the last page first and the first page last so that it's already in the correct or
Ever since I saw this printer in my insurance company office, I knew it was the one I would purchase. Clear, fast, sharp printing. The styling also stood out. I have not been disappointed.
I tried my best to find something bad about this printer. The color is fantastic, the black is bold, holds plenty of paper, sleek design, no paper jams, no problems with the ink cartridges. It's just "DY-NO-MITE"
I hate to say that what I like best about this printer is that I can pile stuff on top of it. It's the only printer I've seen with a flat top. It prints great pictures and I've had zero problems in over a year. I rarely use it for black and
Pros: Speed, Quality, Easy installation, Great Deal Cons: Custom print cartridges, difficult to change. The Bottom Line: Good printer, Great deal. With all the new printers, price will drop. Great quality with speed. I recommend this printer.
Strengths: High quality; wireless convenience Weaknesses: ink expensive Summary: I’ve had this wireless inkjet printer for about four months. The printing quality is very good. The speed also is good. The wireless capability made it very convenient t
Strengths: Printing is very good and fast. Wireless printing is convenient. Weaknesses: Wireless setup is EASY for UN-SECURED wireless network only. The manual is no use and confused. Summary: I have a SECURED wireless network, I could't setup the De
Strengths: Exceptionally fast for an ink jet. Output quality ranges from good to very good. Built-in Ethernet and 802.11g networking. Direct printing from cameras. Weaknesses: For best quality, you need to change cartridges to match the output, swapping b
This is a good quality printer. We needed something that would spit out pages quickly, and this printer doesn't dissapoint. Also, it seems to be a well built unit. If you're wanting something that will print out text real quickly, and do some fa

As long as you buy your cartridges mail-order rather than locally, it's not too bad. Black cartridges cost me about 3.5 cents per page, and the color cartridges about 7 cents per page. By comparison, my Samsung ML6060 laser printer costs about 1.7 ce
Just hooked this printer up, 1-2-3! and there is no problem with Mac OSX 10.4.3I am also hanging on to a few Mac OS 9(classic) programs, so I also installed the Mac 9 drivers for this printer. no problems at all. This printer is so quiet, that I had to lo
I just received this printer today. It's replacing an Epson whose printer cartridges clogged. The HP was very easy to set up, but I had to run to Staples to pick up a USB cable to hook it up to my computer. I deducted one star for that because I don&
This is one of the few printers compatible with the MSNTV2 Internet system. Connection and operation are very easy. Copies (both black and white and color) are excellent.
I purchased 5 of these printers for Library Catalog use in a law library and have not have a bit of trouble with them in their first few months of use. I find the USB connection in the front to be extremely helpful as we got small USB cords for laptop use
Bought my 6540 1-1/2 years ago. Loved it! Great printer including photos from 4x6 up to 8-1/2x11. No problems until this week. Changed black ink cart with a new hp #96 cartridge. It didn't work. I worked at it for a long time. Wrote to online custome
Pros: Excellent text printer...crisp lettering. Good color printing using the standard print cartridges. Cons: Terrible pictures using the optional photo cartridge.
Purchased the Australian version of this printer,Ours arrives with the base duplexer wich works well but pauses a little between flipping paper.Super fast printing on Fast draft which is great.Picture quality is very good with standard color cartridge com
This printer has some strengths, but some serious weaknesses as well, particularly given the price of the unit (some 130 US, give or take).It is great for printing text; the quality of the text output is certainly very good, and the printer is remarkably
I bought this printer in hopes that I could replace my old Epson 870 in my graphics department. I thought, with all the printers available, anything would be better than my outdated one, I was wrong.For printing from Word, the text looked great, but when
This printer does a good job like all the HP Deskjets I have owned. No problems there. My other HP Deskjets would start up automatically but this one? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Tech service was no help. My biggest complaint is the ink!
Purchased this unit when I bought a new Dell with Windows XP. I wanted a unit that had a bottom feed, capable of dual sided printing and large paper storage tray. This one has an upper and lower paper tray. It also is adpated for use with HP's PHOTO
Pros: Great speed printing Cons: Changing the ink cartridges are a bugger.
This printer lasted and did a good job until it came time to change cartridges. I changed both color and black, but the black never worked again. The black cartridge status light keeps blinking indicating a problem with the cartridge - which was new. I re
I run a small dental office. Over the years I've owned about ten inkjet printers - my office uses four printers at a time. Recently we've been using the dependable HP Deskjet 932C and two older printers - HP the Deskjet 882C. I always buy Hewlet
I had the same problem as another user of this printer only it was when changing the color cartridge. I worked with an HP technician and they could not help me. Basically the printer melted down after I attempted to change the tri-color cartridge. It woul
I ordered this printer and was dismayed to learn on its arrival that it didn't come with a USB cable - a prequisite to its operation.For those of us who order things like this online, we expect it to ship with everything it needs to operate.To be fai
This printer will fool you into thinking it is a "robust" business class machine. It isn't, the retaining clips on the springs for the cartridge holders make chinese toys look like Tonka toys. It's an obvious flaw that's designed
