I am satisified. The A940 is easy to use (my wife made copies without reading the manual), its fast, and its print quality is good. My only complaint is that the black ink is not as rich as some printers I've seen. One other observation and this is aimed at Lexmark, since they designed the thing: Why is the scanning bed slanted? It makes no sense to me why they would do this.
I've been pretty happy with mine. I didn't have to read through the whole manual before operating it. Just tried using it and it worked pretty much like I thought it would.
Here are a couple links for those who want to use it for faxing like my wife did:
Well, I like my dell computer once I saw this Printer it had much features for 129.99 well I wanted to buy it I needed a new printer well guess what it DOESN'T WORK WITH WINDOWS ME so I was very very dessatisfied with Dell so I payed more money and got the Lexmark X5150 it was more but it worked with my Windows and was the same as Dell A940.
I was satisfied, until a couple of days ago when I discovered that the "tiny" angle my printer was printing at is now so terrible that the paper will not feed into it at all! I like the scanner though...
Im somewhat satisfied. I cant believe with a brand new computer(less than two months old) and the BRAND NEW Dell Printer/copier/Printer/Fax, that you have to go backwards to the dialup for the fax part of it to work. I have had DSL for two years. Whats with that????
'whats with that' is the fact the fax machine on the other end is likely connected to a regular telephone line. your DSL line cannot connect directly to it then. it needs to be modem-to-modem.
I called Dell and they told gave me some suggestions to take care of it. None of them worked, so they sent me a new (refurbished) printer. I haven't had any problems with this new one, and I am once again satisfied with the Dell All-In-One A940.

kschuhler,
Thanks for using the Dell Community Forums.
When the pages are drawn through the printer are they only skewed while being drawn in or is the actual printed part of the output skewed?
Respectfully,
kschuhler

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
The paper being pulled in at a very slight angle is normal.
This is caused because the printer only has one pincher roller.
But, the jamming definately is not normal.
Check the following KB articles to see if they help.
