A:AnswerI see this is over two months old, but since previous answers are so poor and this is such a common question (ITtech here) here you go:
... you said "The printer is connected to my main computer with USB."
so most likely you are also near your router/ISPbox and you have a network/ethernet cable going from it to you computer so it can be on your local network (which of course has access to the internet.) Do Not use the USB cable - this is actually limiting your access to many of the features this printer offers - especially when printing from tablets/smartphones. Using the USB cable forces the computer to use an HP USB driver that can/will compete with the HP Wi-Fi driver. The only time this issue will not be present is when the "main computer" is off.
A:AnswerI went to the store to buy but they did not have one in stock. Came home and ordered on line that day. Shipping was free and I got the printer in 3 business days.If you can buy it on line and know the size and features meet your needs, I wouldn't hesitate to order it on line.
A:AnswerThe printer is no longer under warranty. The warranty was a 1 year limited manufacturer's warranty. It may be time to purchase a new printer.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerGood question. The standard capacity ink cartridges on this printer can print up to 400 pages. The XL cartridges can do up to 1000 on the black cartridge and 825 pages on the color cartridges. To save up to 50% on ink, I recommend you look into the HP Instant Ink Program. You never run out of ink with the program and it doesn't matter how much ink you use, only counts the number of pages.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerGreat question. Yes, this printer can print from a Chromebook. You will need an HP Connected account and a gmail account. Here is a link with instructions on printing from a Chromebook:

A:AnswerGood question. The 6830 does not do everything the 8600 premium does. There is a new model available that replaced the 8600 series. You can look into the HP OfficeJet Pro 8710, 8720, 8730 and 8740.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes it can print both sides of the paper. You need to choose "print both side" or "duplex print" from the preference tab of the printer before you hit the print tab..
