Rated 2 out of 5 by VCarey from Skipping lines after just 10 months I purchased an HP OJ3830 2 years ago, used it for 5 months while wintering in Arizona. Came back this last December 2019 and it was running OK. Then in February 2020 it started to skip every 6th line on a printed page. Tried a new set of #69 cartridges but it still skipped. Rather than learn another printer I purchased a 2nd one. NOY HAPPY!

Printer fit is opereting very efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Product is very good. Service is outstanding.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tommy87 from A good buy. Have always had luck with HP products. Always my first choice. Printer I replaced lasted 8 years and failed due to printer cartridge jam which I couldn't fix even with support suggestions and would have been more expensive to repair than to replace. Disappointing but happy with replacement unit so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anna7 from Loving my new HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer I have had my new All-In-One for a couple of weeks now, and have been putting it through it's various features. Set-up was a breeze on line, and the menu on the unit is easy to use as well. I have scanned to my computer, printed from the flatbed and the paper feeds, and printed several things from my computer as well. It's much lighter and easier to handle than my old one, and fits so much better on my computer desk. Pictures come out beautifully as well as printed material.

Does this printer print 2-sided?

Asked by: DebraIA
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.
