Terrible Paper Handling 2007-02-15
Two of six 5740 printers have had to be replaced because they failed to feed paper properly. The usage is very low, but the environment is very dirty, so that might contribute to the problem. I have good success with many different HP printer models, but would not recommend this printer.
Great Printer! 2007-01-08
Works great and very easy to use. This is the best printer I have ever owned by far. HP makes a very good product.
Horrible 2006-12-21
Frequently jams and doesn't take in paper. Must always be feeding paper and when trying to retry printing it prints blank pages.

I am fed up with HP. They make the worst products.
OK price, nice speed, not many problems 2006-10-15
I'll keep this short...

Pros:
Prints QUICK.
Print quality ROCKS. Even pictures. I normally can see the inkjet 'dots', but this is severely limited with this printer.
While cartridges are small, if you print on "Normal" or quick printing, or degrade the saturation on default if you print a lot of for-your-own notes, the cartridges last over a semester of college (that's printing school papers, all class notes, etc)
Never had mine jam.
Ink cartridges aren't excessively expensive, and a few places give you $3 for bringing in old HP cartridges.


Cons:
Itty bitty cartridges.
Can sometimes take in more than one sheet (inconvenient when printing double sided notes)
When using the fastest setting, the printer doesn't so much as "set" the paper in the finished document holder ... it'd be more accurately described as an "emergency ejection"
Printer is a bit noisy on normal settings. On the fastest settings, it wakes the dead.
16 months and it's crapped out ! 2006-06-14
I purchase a lot of PC's and peripherals for my job.

Just over a year ago, I ordered a few of this model.

The semi pros:
- the black ink cartridge is an enlarged one. Probably a bit short of twice the tri-color capacity.

-adequate print quality.

- average print speed.

The cons:

- only lasted 16 months and now shows indicators that it requires a trip to the local HP service center.
(We all know what that means. Pitch it and buy another unit).

- tri-color cartridge is the small size.

Conclusion:

I should have stocked up on the older, FULL SIZED cartridge HP printers in the PRO series, like the 895 (I think it was).
Still have a few of those going strong.
