    Jamming machine

    Had this printer for only a short while and the paper kept jamming. Not only does it jam constantly but the paper roll doesn’t even grab the paper anymore. Total waste of money. I can’t even use it and have to look for another printer.

    The printer works fine when it is actually working. The problem I have is that it constantly goes offline, forcing me to reinstall the printer over and over again just to print. I have tried a few of the troubleshooting steps on HP’s site, but nothing has helped

    Purchase a part for my old printer, customer service rep told me to try it out, if it doesn't work, send it back. After searching through the package I notice they ship me the part with no return label. Call HP back and now they tell me the part was non refundable, just p*ss me off because if the trifling HP agent would have told me up front the part was non refundable I wouldn't have never it.

    Printer was a Lemon spent hours trying to setup. Contacted HP and was unfix able and had to return to HP. Replacement has worked OK up to this point. Wireless connect will only work on 2G. A lot of inconvenience on this product. Would suggest buying upgraded Model.

    Have another HP printer which is great (7000 series). Read and saw all the good reviews on this model. Expected the same quality, but not to be!! Tried to print from my laptop, but went through dozens of pages, all of which got eaten and not a single clean print! So decided better to return than waste a ream.

    After several (7) calls to HP SUPPORT, a few hours on the phone with HP trying different fixes the menu screen blinked, the unit lost wifi connection and the unit only functioned after turning it off and back on. I got to a HP SUPPORT manager and am sending the printer back to HP for a replacement.

      Hi there.

      I’m sorry to hear that your printer won’t come out of sleep mode without your unplugging and resetting it. I can understand why that would quickly become frustrating, so I’ll point you toward some resources and provide some information I hope will help.

      First, I recommend you follow this guide to sleep mode and how to deal with problems that arise when a printer is in sleep mode:
      - support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04183583

      If the problem persists, I suggest that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:

      - Model number
      - Serial number
      - Your location
      - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)

    got it on sale, or would have never gotten it. I don't recommend this if you do a lot of printing.

    Faulty product

    This is the second HP all in one 3830 series purchased from Best Buy in 2 months give or take a week. The first machine did everything except receive fax. This one does all the other functions, but will send nor receive fax. Some products are made specifically for a certain chain store. I need to look on the box, that may be the case here.

    Bought this for my Mom a couple years ago and it's already crapped out on her. Kept giving her a message that the ink cartridge was not compatible, LOL same brand and size of cartridge she has used all along... HP brand, so who knows what went wrong, but surely won't buy another hp printer.
