4 out of 5 stars WORKS WELL NO COMPLAINTS   December 6, 2008
William E. Arledge III (Grove City, OH USA)
We have owned this printer for about 2 years now and it has held up very well. We have never had any problems with it We use it primarily for black and white printing and sometimes color. We have never used it to print photos so I can not say how well it would work. The printer is very well made and the stainless steel gives it a nice look.


3 out of 5 stars 5 stars down to zero!   September 14, 2007
Bill Lundquist (Minnesota)
Bought my 6540 1-1/2 years ago. Loved it! Great printer including photos from 4x6 up to 8-1/2x11. No problems until this week. Changed black ink cart with a new hp #96 cartridge. It didn't work. I worked at it for a long time. Wrote to online customer service. Got a reply and he had me try a few things. Nothing doing! He had me print a test page and report a series of number results to him. He wrote back that the printer was not reading the new cartridge and I needed to repair or replace it! THE END? It might be the end of me being an hp fan. I've bought exclusively hp for the past 6 years and this problem really bothers me. I just paid over $30. for this ink cartridge and can't use it at all! No other options...........repair or replace? I live in rural MN and its over an hours drive to a major city. We'll see... On the plus side.......the online repair tech was very helpful and spelled things out very well in an easy to understand way.

I hate to say that what I like best about this printer is that I can pile stuff on top of it. It's the only printer I've seen with a flat top. It prints great pictures and I've had zero problems in over a year. I rarely use it for black and white, but the quality seemed fine when my lazer printer was down.
