If an auto manufacturer built a car that would stop the moment it reached its 25,000 mile checkup threshold, it would be front page news. But that is what the HP 2840 does when it is low on toner, it just stops. I would prefer it let me know, but finish the job with less quality color. It causes undo stress when trying to meet a deadline.
Furthmore, this machine requires you to toggle its USB port on or off depending on whether you want to print or scan. A time-consuming menance.
Finally, I had many issues with printing large files when the machine would just stop printing in the middle of a 2nd or 3rd copy of a report. It would not provide me an error message, or ability to restart.
So this big piece of junk is off to the recycler along with the four toner cartridges I never used. Get more detail about HP Color LaserJet 2840 All-in-One Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax (Q3950A#ABA).
