Choosing the HP Deskjet 5940
The listed print technology is Inkjet. Compare replacement consumable prices and expected page volumes alongside the purchase price. Features such as duplex printing or a scanner should be confirmed independently in the specification table.
Compare the specification with your intended use and read the original reviews for performance, comfort, reliability and other qualities that a specification sheet cannot establish.
Before choosing this printer
- Estimate normal monthly pages, colour use, scans and paper sizes.
- Price current replacement ink or toner by exact part number.
- Confirm duplex printing, duplex scanning and document feeder separately.
- Measure the printer with trays and lid open.
