We like:
Network ready; PictBridge port for PC-free photo printing; compatible with both Windows and Mac PCs
We don't like:
Autoduplexer and larger input tray will cost you extra; HP ink is expensive; if you often switch between document and photo printing, you'll spend ages changing ink tanks
CNET UK judgement:
The HP Deskjet 6940 isn't a top-of-the-line inkjet, but with its affordable price, network capability and decent print quality, it's a good choice for students and budget-conscious home office users
