Applications

The HP Deskjet 6940 is a mid-2000s inkjet printer aimed at home offices and small workgroups that need both wired network sharing and Bluetooth wireless printing from a single unit. Its built-in Ethernet port allows it to be connected directly to a router and shared across multiple computers without a dedicated print server — a feature that set it apart from most consumer inkjets of its era. The PictBridge USB port on the front lets digital cameras print directly without a computer. With support for photo paper and a 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution, it was also marketed as a capable photo printer for consumer use. These units remain functional for legacy Windows environments, light-duty office printing, and situations where a network-connected inkjet with Bluetooth is needed at low cost.
