Rated 1 out of 5 by Tad123 from Terrible! Does not work after 3 months!!! No drivers supported on Windows, won’t print from iPhone - says no printer found or OFFLINE while blue Wi-Fi fully lit in printer! Utter trash!! So disappointed & waste of so much time troubleshooting with no resolution!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jessica12 from Poor Longevity I cannot recommend this printer. I have had the unit for 5 years and used it for small business purposes. The color ink quit working on Year 2 even though replacements were always made with HP ink. The print head began having issues in Year 4, and now on Year 5 it takes half an hour of fighting with it each morning between paperjams (from properly loaded quality paper) and printing blank pages from a well-maintained printhead with HP black ink. Not a good long-term investment.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Already used my nickname from Short Life Great printer while it worked. but only lasted 2 years. Blue won't print. Tried all maintenance options and 3 new cartridges. Nothing helped. No one will work on them and if they did would cost more than the printer cost. Going to have to buy another new one. Should last longer than 2 years in home use. Disgusted.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from worked great for the first month It worked great the first month, I have fought with it ever since. If its not a paper jam, its saying its out of paper and neither are true. If its neither of those then its doing maintenance. I have spent more time trying to fix it than it has spent printing. I have tried every step for cleaning and everything, but nothing works. I have to spoon feed paper into it to get it to print other wise it won't load properly and jams. HP printers used to be good but the quality is very poor, I know my next printer will NOT be HP. I swore away from their laptops and desktops so now it looks like printers are on the list as well. This printer has not even went through the supplied ink that it came with if that says how much trouble Ive had with it. For a Office style printer I would expect much better than this. As far as scanning goes it works great for that at least. Otherwise it is HOT garbage.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Steamboat22 from HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 Purchased a while back and ran out of ink. Bought LxTek replacement cartridges, but latest HP firmware upgrade wouldn't allow me to use non-HP cartridges. Shame on HP. I will never buy another HP printer again. Thank you.

Rated 1 out of 5 by kgram from Worst Experience with a Printer This printer has been so bad. I've had it for not even three years and I'm having to replace it because it won't print color at all anymore. I've had techs work on the issues with me, but that has ended with them saying it needs to be replaced. Before the color printing issue, the touch pad never worked properly, and copying using the glass scanner stopped working after about a year. The HP printer I had prior to this one lasted probably just under 10 years, and I think it was my fault that it stopped working in the end, so my experience with that one is the only reason that I'm going to try HP again for this next printer purchase. I’m hoping that the quality I’ve experienced is the norm and that this was just a bad model.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Eric2468 from Fatal error shortly after a year. When I first unboxed it, the printer worked fine and was easy to set up. Now, a bit over a year after getting it, it got an error code and stopped working -- in short, the parts inside aren't moving correctly, it says it was improperly shut down each time it's turned on, and it insists there is a paper jam when there is none. I rarely used the printer before it got this error. I checked HP support forums and many others experienced the same issue with no working fix by the company. My warranty expired a year after purchasing, so now this is essentially a brick that cost me over a hundred bucks. In these times (early 2021) I do not have money to waste on buying a replacement. HP ripped me off and I am not buying from this company again.

I spoke to HP Representative "Lawrence" about my 6968 Printer Error message. He told me to buy a new printer and asked, "Don't you know how technology works?" Is it true that HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 All-in-One Printer is obsolete? Seems like a waste.

Asked by: Waste Not Want Not
