HP 955c Printer Review

As printers get more and more complicated, some users prefer a more simple, stripped-down color inkjet model with basic functionality and fewer distractions. The HP Deskjet 955c is that type of device. It has a basic control panel that is easy to use, and can print at up to 11 pages per minute in black and 8.5 pages per minute in color. Replacing HP 955c printer ink can get a bit expensive, but alternatives are available.

One of the basic tenets of a personal printer for the home is that it be compact, as space is often limited in such an environment. The 955c is a bit wider and taller than some of its competition, but it still doesn't occupy a lot of space, measuring just 15x17x8 (HWD) and measuring 13.1 pounds without the HP 955c ink cartridges installed.

The unit doesn't include wired or wireless networking, instead offering USB and parallel ports. Adding a print server module is possible, though choosing a model with networking built in would be more cost-effective. The control panel is streamlined, with only indicator lights and three buttons. While some buyers might find this limiting, others may appreciate the simplicity, and more advanced options are available within the included software.

The Deskjet 955c ink cartridges have large capacities of 450 pages for the combined tricolor supply and 500 pages for the black supply. Although the OEM versions tend to be pricey, users will save a lot of money by choosing remanufactured Deskjet 955c printer ink at a fraction of the cost.

The 955c may not have extra like Wi-Fi support or ethernet networking, and its speeds are somewhat limited, but this color inkjet will serve a home user with basic needs quite well, while providing high quality output. Alternatives to OEM HP 955c ink will help make it a very cost-effective solution.
