Easy to Use
I bought this printer to replace another one. I really like this printer, very easy to add to my computer. It has a touch screen which makes it easy to use.

Nice Printer
I mainly print from my phone, which is a great feature, but it takes so long for anything to print. The amazing we time we used a PC it printed much quicker. The print quality is fine. I do get paper jams often. I like getting alerts to my phone. For the price, the printer is fine but I wouldn't pay any more for it.

Does the job!
I bought this to replace my hp printer that abruptly stopped working. This model is much simpler & so far is working good. This model is sufficient if only occasional use needed. For my requirements, it is fine.

Printing is easy; scanning not so much
I'm still learning how to set up and use this all-in-one printer. I found the print set up to be easy and intuitive. But, I can't say the same for the scanner as I've spent way too much time installing and uninstalling drivers and trying to set it up. I don't think scanning is fully working the way it should, but at least I've figured out one way to scan. The online helps for this are worthless and only take me in circles.

Good printer, poor software
I purchased the 3830 to replace a seven year old HP All-in-One that gave us good service; I chose it in part because I have another HP printer that uses the same ink cartridges so I wouldn't be stuck with $140 of incompatible ink again. The installation of the new printer went fine, unpacking, installing ink, calibrating the scanner, hooking up to the WiFi. The issues started when I installed the driver software (using the included instructions) on an HP tower running Windows 10. All appeared to go well. I opened up a print dialogue from Word, there was the new printer, printed the test page. No color. Opened up the preferences, no option to select color. Hmm. My other HP printers have that option. Wonder what could be wrong? I'm an electrical engineer well versed in computers, so I dug into it. Downloading drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, reviewing numerous help forums. What I noticed was that a number of other people have the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution. As I tried to fix it, I managed to break the print preference integration with source applications (like Word) so they locked up when I accessed print preferences.
No problem, time for System Restore and a clean slate. Except, HP's hooks into the system apparently are deeper than System Restore can restore, printer is still listed, same problems occurring. Now I'm getting frustrated. So I get on a chat with HP support.
After verifying I've done basic troubleshooting, the tech asks to take over my system remotely, which I have to say gives me pause as lots of personal info is on that machine and I am good at following directions. I reluctantly agree. He knows exactly what he is doing and within about 5 minutes, fixes the problem by installing a new version of the printer from within Windows, directly to the printers IP address. Problems solved, no more crashing applications, color and black and white selection easily accomplished. The good thing is, I learned something from the tech and was able to repeat it on my other HP computer. I wonder why that information isn't more readily available, and why isn't HP's 160 MB printer installation package able to correctly install the printer?

High Quality and Affordable
I bought this printer recently after my last printer (which I had for almost 10 years) finally kicked the bucket. I was searching for a printer that would last me for years and was also affordable. I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles but this printer seemed to have everything my family needed! My only complaint about it is that it’s a little annoying to set up for wireless printing and it also doesn’t include a cable to connect to your computer (luckily I just used the one from my old printer and it worked). But overall I’m really happy with my purchase and the price was awesome for all that this device does!

Splendid features
i bought this printer two weeks ago and was totally impressed with features. For one i can print from any device including laptop, smartphone and tablet. Also I can fax as well. It is a great printer and I would recommend HP printers to anyone. The last printer I had lasted ten years and I am sure this one will last a long time too.

Does this printer print 2-sided?
Hello. Thanks for your question. The HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer does not support automatic two-sided (duplex) printing. However, it does allow for manual duplex printing, where you can print on one side, then reload the paper to print on the other side.
