Do you have experience with Dell A940 Printers?

The A940 to start with in my opinion is junk. You will never stop having proplems with it, It is really a Lexmark. I am tired of working on the computers they are connected to for my customers.

You may recognize the Dell A940 printer as the fraternal twin of another multifunction printer that we reviewed recently: the Lexmark X5150. That's because it's the same printer with a Dell logo slapped on. Why review it, you ask? Because this printer and its two counterparts, Dell's S2500n and P1500 laser printers, represent the company's first attempts to brand its own peripheral devices. Also, Dell's new multifunction costs a bit less than Lexmark's, and it comes with Dell's service and support, which is more comprehensive than Lexmark's. Other than that, you'll find the same wealth of functions and ease of use, as well as mediocre print quality and high ink consumption. In short, the A940 may seem like a bargain at the outset--especially if you're buying a whole system from Dell--but in the long run, a printer such as the Canon MultiPass F30 offers similar quality and speed without costing you as much in replacement ink.

Unfortunately, like most computer peripherals these days, printers are something of a commodity item. Even if it is possible to repair it, there's a good chance that the repair will cost nearly as much as purchasing a new printer.

Depending on how long you've had it, though, you may be able to get warranty service from Dell on the printer. They'll probably ask you to send it back to them, but they might just send you a whole new printer.

the computing gadget could understand that there is not any ink put in and hence "won't be able to commence print pastime" . visit commence menu, =>administration Panel =>Printers and Faxes. See if the printer is listed there. no matter if that's, then that's certainly easily one of the ink issue. no matter if it isn't, then you really did not set up the printer good. for sure you may consistently attempt the former stand by technique of of restarting the computing gadget.
