wow i’m speechless how easy it is to set up and install! i installed it on my mac super easy! and then on my iphone it’s with the app and that makes it even more easier! i feel like this printer is worth not less than 500$ it got everything all in one! 👏 and printing quality is perfect this was the best purchase of the year on amazon for me so far

Short version: If you want a reasonably priced, reliable printer that is simple to install and easy to use, this HP Officejet 3830 is a great choice. Set-up: The set up takes less than 15 minutes to complete, and it instantly works with all your devices on the same wifi network. There's no need to download a particular app (though it offers a good one if you like that sort of thing), nor does it require any special set up with your computer. Use: This printer is self-explanatory and intuitive. The touch screen isn't very large, but it's much more responsive than the one on my old HP Envy 100, so it's actually an improvement for me. If you can use a regular sized touchscreen smartphone, you can use this with no problem. Ink: After comparing the various manufacturers' ink cartridge options for ink jet printers, I've found them all to be comparably priced, but I prefer HP, because (1) it requires only two cartridges (black & color), whereas other printers often require one black and three or more color cartridges*; and (2) the HP Instant Ink program (which is optional) is cheaper and extremely convenient. *I know some people have complained about the single color cartridges, preferring to use individual colors to conserve ink. My response to that complaint is twofold. First, in my experience, when one color is out, the other colors are close behind, so the convenience of the combined cartridges is worth it. Second, any ink waste that results from the combined color cartridges is minimal compared to the "waste" generated from separate color cartridges. With combined color cartridges, there is one cartridge, one sealed package, one paper insert and one outer box. With individual color cartridges, there are three (or more) plastic cartridges, three sealed packages, three paper inserts and three outer boxes. That's a lot of unnecessary waste! Other issues: The only other concern that's been raised in the Amazon reviews is the paper feeder. Apparently a few people have complained that it grabs several pages at once, causing paper waste and jams. I've noticed that sometimes the paper doesn't fully load into the feeder, and when that happens, it can cause this problem. The paper feeder itself is a bit awkward. Still, as long as I make sure the paper is properly and fully loaded, I don't have this problem. All things considered, this is a fairly minor problem with an otherwise excellent printer. Long Version - HP v Canon: I literally gave away my brand new Canon MG7520 printer and replaced it with this HP Officejet 3830, and I couldn't be happier. After my trusty old HP Envy 100 took a spill off my desk and shattered, I researched printers online to select its replacement. I've always had HPs at home and work, but I wanted to find the best value regardless of brand. Although the expert and consumer reviews were generally all over the place, with printers receiving 4.8 stars on one website and 2.4 stars on another, I noticed that on most sites the Canon printers were rated the highest of all the major brands. Based on that research, I bought a Canon MG7520 on sale at Best Buy. Though I'm no computer expert, I have set up a number of similar printers for myself and my family members, and based on my experience, I knew it shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes to connect my new Canon printer. Over one month and countless wasted hours trying to get that thing to work, I finally packed it up and donated it to Goodwill (the Best Buy return period had long since expired, and I didn't want to waste any more of my time, even just trying to sell it on Craigslist). During that month of fruitless efforts to get the Canon printer to print something other than the Printer Connection Settings sheet, I tried everything to get it to work with any of my devices. I used the included installation disk; I downloaded the drives and software from the website; I manually installed the drivers; I followed the instructions in the box and the (different) instructions online; and I even talked to Canon customer support several times. Nothing worked. After waving the white flag, I bought this HP Officejet 3830 from Amazon. Two days later (thank you Prime!), it arrived. Ten minutes, 47 seconds later, it was printing from my desktop, laptop, phone and tablet. I never even had to look at the instructions. HP install: Plug in, enter wifi password, insert paper, print. Canon install: Plug in, choose LAN connection type, enter wifi password, download app, change LAN connection type to "offline" set up, register printer, change LAN again, select online options, try to connect, if connection fails even when connected, try to decipher cryptic installation instructions, start all over, etc etc. You get the idea. Does Canon print better photos? I wouldn't know, but I've heard it does. If you're buying a printer primarily for photo printing, perhaps Canon is the way to go. But if you need a printer for everyday, household/small business printing needs, I highly recommend HP, and in particular I recommend the HP Officejet 3830. It's easy and it works. Oh, and the photos look just fine.

Just got this printer, but so far it's worked beautifully. I had an old HP K80 deskjet that was probably 10+ years old. It was still working well on my old Windows 7 laptop, but wouldn't work properly on my Windows 10 laptop. I guess I can't blame HP for not providing updated drivers for a printer that's over a decade old. Setup was simple. I didn't use the included software CD. I just hit the wifi button on the printer's touch screen and typed in the wifi password. It connected and went through the setup process of installing the ink cartridges and printing/scanning the test page. The Windows 10 laptop had no problem finding the new printer and automatically installed the drivers. My Windows 7 laptop also connected wirelessly to the printer without any problems. It's as close to plug-and-play as you could get with a printer. I tested it out by printing out a 30-page document, and then copying that same document with the copy function. It worked flawlessly. I obviously can't speak to the reliability over the long term as I just received this a couple days ago, but so far I am very happy with my purchase. For $40, it would be hard to beat this printer. The only negative is the cost of the replacement cartridges, but that's pretty much the same with any inkjet printer. I've also read reviews saying this printer is slow, but compared to my old printer it is much faster, so I have no complaints. UPDATE (6/1/18): I really love this printer. So far it has done everything I have wanted it to without any hassle. It not only prints well from my laptops, but I have it printing from my smartphone with the HP app. UPDATE (2/13/19): I've had this printer about a year and am still loving it. I've printed wirelessly from both Windows computers and Android phones without any problems. I've also copied, scanned, faxed without any problems. I see a lot of other reviews saying that they lose WiFi connection, but I've never had that happen. Maybe it's because my printer sits right next to the wireless router, but I've never had it disconnect from my wireless network. I've also never had any paper jams or refusals to print like others have. I guess I just got a good unit. All I can suggest is that if you get a unit that has problems, return it within the return window, but if you get a good unit then you should be good to go. UPDATE (4/5/25): This printer is still going strong. I will say that the HP Instant Ink subscription has gotten more expensive over the years. When I first signed up it was $2.99/month for 50 pages. HP has since raised the price to $3.99 and then again to $4.99. If they raise the price again I will probably cancel the Instant Ink service and go back to buying cartridges, as the value of the Instant Ink service will no longer be there for me compared to just buying the cartridges. I will say that the Instant Ink cartridges are much better than the ones you can buy, as they contain a lot more ink.

I was surprised by how easy it is to setup. Everything worked well, I tried printing from my laptop and then tried using my cellphone too. I also asked somebody to send a document using its own email address and it worked too. I still haven’t decided whether to subscribe to “instant ink”, I believe I have 7 days to decide so I cannot comment on that yet.

This compact printer is affordable and the set-up is very intuitive platform. Works well with various mobile, pc and laptop functions. The HP Office has an Insta Ink Program where HP will send you cartridges/ink toner. For less than $2/month, the printer will automatically order the print cartridges before they run out. Awesome program and hassle-free to order the cartridges. The only, issue I had was loading the paper, sometimes I miss putting the proper properly, as it is mounted at the back of printer and paper should in vertical position. So just be mindful of that set-up.
