HP Officejet 6950

My printer will not print. It says that it is low on ink but I have just bought new cartridges and they will not work. It was fine until the warranty ran out! Now I have brand new ink cartridges that I cannot use when I buy a new printer. I doubt whether I will but HP again

Print quality I would rate 3/5. Scans I would rate 4/5. Print speed about 2/5 once the printer has gone through it's start up cycle.

Problem is if you only print about say once a week, the printer goes through a very long print head cleaning cycle. I print about 4 Excel spreadsheets a week and got about 4 months out of a set of HP OEM 300 page cartridges. That is about 64 pages. The other 236 pages of printer ink got dumped going through the cleaning cycles. Even if you mainly print black text it burns through the colour cartridges too.

Do yourself a favour and if you only print about once a week or so and don't need colour buy a Monochrome Laser.

Worked beautifully until just after the warranty ran out - it stopped copying, then stopped printing PDFs, all very weird. The toner levels were fine but in desperation I put in new ones and that seemed to fix it until a few weeks later when it stopped working again. This time I cleaned the printer heads about a zillion times (well at least 12) and now it prints / copys sometimes but not all the time. Very disappointing indeed I have to say. Oh and the four pack value pack of toners costs more than the printer did.

Decided to replace the printers ink with good quality generic ink from a provider with a good reputation, due to the cost difference being $60 vs $134 for genuine XL cartridges. Installed the black cartridge, it said 'Cartridge Problem', tried another cartridge, had the same issue. Fine as soon as you insert the genuine cartridges back in. I thought that HP had stopped the whole blocking generic ink thing - never again will I purchase a HP printer!

Took me 2 hours to be able to download all of the bloatware that HP assaults your computer with just to use a basic function. Print quality is super average for the price of this so called 'office' printer. I would honestly rather a $30 Kmart printer over this, I've had less hassle with them. Will not at all connect to my windows PC wireless either.

Although the cartridges are not extremely expensive (because of that 2 stars), the rest is not good at all. I use this printer around twice a week and it never prints out the pages with vivid colours. Last week I bought new cartridges (brand new ones) but so far I couldn't print out one single page without problems. When I choose black and white, it ends up having big horizontal lines on the paper where the letter are gray, other the letters are black. Let alone printing out with colours! And before you think that cleaning your cartridge filter in the cartridge slot is going to solve the problem, my answer is: yes for 1-3 weeks, after that, you'll clean them and it will continue not printing out with good quality.

I've had the printer 2 weeks and I've run the Printer Maintenance (ink jet clearance) 6 times so far and jettisoned one blue colour cartridge. Fails to print blue due to ink jet blockage. Eventually clears but wastes a great deal of expensive ink in the clearing process. I've replaced the cartridge but a few days later, blocked again. Wish I'd never bought the printer - now the hassle of dealing with HP support to return the product.

Printer OK but everyday I have to run printer maintenance and waste more ink! They are genuine HP cartridges but I guess its their way to make more money out of you

Brought a Lemon, error can't get it to work, after all troubleshoots
Error 0X6100004a, web site no help, my computer can read the printer, but won;t go pass the error code. Taking it back tomorrow, going back to my old cannon printer at least it works.

As above, good printer, but If I don't use it for a couple of days, it goes through this lengthy cleaning process. It's a pain when I want to scan something without printing it.

I recently purchased this HP printer from the Nunawading Store since it is Wi Fi, which makes it easier for me to print from my phone, the price was excellent because I got it for $20 since they traded in my old Epson WorkForce 2650 All-In-One Printer and I am very impressed with it because it prints things really fast, which saves me heaps of time.

I recently purchased this HP printer and it works really well, it is Wi Fi so I can print from my phone, the price was good and this is my second HP in 10 years the other one still works but I got a new computer so I decided to get a new printer can not fault it highly recommended

Best ever, simple printer easy to install via instruction and u tube videos and for price very professional print contain, by far the most smartest purchase I have made all year . Only con is cartridge prices (100 ). Hp is so professional whisper quiet, and scans awesome trust me you won’t be dissapointed

Very easy to set up, everything is done for you remotely and without any hick ups whatsoever. So far it seems very economical to use. The touch screen responds nicely to even the slightest brush of the finger.
I like the ADF and double sided print feature and it's overall compact lock.

I bought this printer when my previous Epson died because the printer driver would not allow the thing to work after I started using none Epson ink cartridges to save money. Irritated by the Epson approach I reached out to the ink supplier to recommend a printer and ended up with the HP Officejet 6950.

After many months of use I love this thing, double sided printing, clear output, reasonable ink usage and a clear menu. Great I'm glad that I have this printer

I am Disappointed with only 300 dpi scanning I need 600 dpi minimum. Also printer always seems to be "cleaning". The colour printing is not as good as a cheaper Brother printer. I agree about ink levels. The indicator on the printer does not agree with the indicator on my computer.

I bought this computer for my home office and it is a good choice for one that's not too expensive and does a good job. Setup was a bit confusing but once that is done it works great! I have not had any issues with paper jams which is such a bonus.
