Limitations
The DeskJet 26Q90A lacks multifunction capabilities such as scanning or copying, limiting its use to printing only. Its print speed is moderate and may not suffice for high-volume printing demands. The small paper input tray limits batch printing capacity, requiring frequent refills in busy environments. USB 2.0 is the sole connectivity option, so no wireless or network printing is supported.
