I am probably the most electronics challenged person on the planet! I am a electronics dummie! I am so bad I even  had problems operating a simple electric can opener.  So when my children all chopped in to purchase me a computer I thought they had totally lost their minds. But with patience and alot...

Oh-my-gosh!  This printer is extremely aggrivating. Like the first reviewer, I too have had the same paper problems, but mine started from the beginning. Also the carrier get stuck a lot and is so messed-up now, it won't print at all and I've only had this printer for about a year and a half.

The ink...

We received this model printer as a gift from grandparents during college. It worked great then and for the next few years. In recent times, however, the paper feeder developed a major problem in that it could barely take in a single sheet of paper with jamming itself, let alone several sheets in a row. You had to feed it in yourself, and then sometimes you had to do it more than once to get it right. This was bad enough, but then after changing out cartridges, it stated there was a cartridge jam, even though it worked fine the first few times after changing cartridges. We took out the cartridges... review »

If you are only printing black and white text for basic home needs, then you could probably get by with this printer. More advanced printing jobs need a more advanced printer. I have only had problems with paper jams on a few occasions although it seems to be a big problem for other users. Occasionally when I try to print something, my computer (also a dell) says the printer is not connected or not powered on although it is. As with all dell printers, you can only get ink for it by ordering it through dell. Their ink is very expensive to start with and then I would wind up paying 29.99% interest... review »

This printer is absolutly the worst on the market. It broke down on me after about a year and a half. I called tech support and was told that it is repairable but it would cost more than I paid for it. While it was working it did print good reports and printed good pictures (if you used the right paper for pictures). It did an acceptable job of copying documents. The printing and copy results were clear. This was the only good thing about the printer. Changing the ink cartridges was easy and not messy. Aside from that it was cheaply made, was not very durable, and had a very short operating... review »

Since the day DELL sent me this printer, I've loved it. It was easy to assemble a couple of wires and start it up. It prints (with many different settings), scans, faxes and copies the way a printer is supposed to. The price is very competitive and I really love the dependability of my printer, which has outlasted my first computer, and is working like a charm for my second Dell, that's about 6 years of lots of usage everyday. You really can't get a better deal.

My roommate bought the Dell 942 Photo All-In-One Printer for us to use for college.  It has made things pretty easy to handle.  My roommate and I have no time to go get pictures developed, or papers copied somewhere else with our busy schedules (I sure do have to time writing this review).  It has been reliable and also relevant to my llfe...and also my roommate's.

This printer is alright. It is capable of scanning, copying, etc. When you need these features it is a good printer. It does have some issues. Many of the issues are related to the ink. When you replace your ink (with expensive Dell ink) the printer continuosly gives you a low ink warning. Besides, you have to order the ink from Dell and it's very expensive. Even doing that, the printer still tells you the ink is low. If you want don't mind spending a bundle on ink, and looking at low ink warnings all the time, then this is the printer for you.
