Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

PCWORLD.com Editors' review:
If you've already installed a Wi-Fi network in your home, your family
can now share an HP Deskjet 6840 printer wirelessly. This stylish $200
inkjet features an 802.11g wireless connection. You can print directly
from a digital camera through the PictBridge port on the front of the
printer, too.
We had no trouble connecting the printer to our test network, though the
procedure does involve a few steps. We used the included ethernet cable
to hook the Deskjet 6840 to our wireless router temporarily. The printer
discovered the settings it needed by itself, so it appeared on the
wireless network automatically when we disconnected the cable. If your
wireless router supports the new wireless network key technology
included in Windows XP SP2, you can use a USB flash drive to transfer
the required settings from the router to the printer through its
PictBridge port.
Black and tricolor cartridges for plain-paper printing come with the
printer, and you can buy a $25 photo color cartridge for better printing
of light areas in photos. An optional gray cartridge ($25 as well) is
good for preserving detail in shadows and in black-and-white photos.
Unfortunately, the two ink-cartridge slots mean that you can't use the
photo color and gray cartridges simultaneously--and that you may forever
be juggling inks.
The Deskjet 6840 struggled to produce high-quality text. Many of the
smaller italicized characters in our test pages came out only partially
formed, and the edges of larger letters looked fuzzier than on output
from other printers we tested at the same time. The 6840 did well in our
line art test, however. Very close narrow lines tended to bleed
together, but they were very straight and had less banding than we
typically see.
The Deskjet 6840's photo software is a step up from the tools provided
with HP's cheaper printers, adding tools for organizing, editing, and
sharing a photo collection. The printing options are useful, but the
editing tools are rudimentary, so you'll still want a dedicated
image-editing package.
UPSHOT: If you're already committed to Wi-Fi, the HP
Deskjet 6840 makes it easy to add a printer that multiple users can
share. You get good-looking photos, but plain paper documents
disappoint.
