I wish that I never purchased an HP printer. The printers are poorly made and I can't print from my phone. The printer print just the top portion of my print job then says printing was unsuccessful. If I log into my PC I am able to print with no problem. Don't buy HP if you are looking for ease of use or quality.
I am pretty illiterate when it comes to technology. I can figure out the basics but anything more complicated than that I leave for my husband for my kids. However, this particular printer I set up and use all by myself and it was easy for me. It made me feel like maybe I wasn’t completely technologically illiterate. Which is a good feeling. I love this printer because I don’t have to carry anything in and hook it up I can sit on the couch and print things off of my phone.
I bought this 3830 2 weeks ago. Every day I try to set up the wireless connection to my computer for printing and scan. I can get it to print a job sent from my computer wireless. I can not get it to scan from my computer no matter how many times I re-download and install the correct software. And answer all of the options.
This is a nice small footprint printer with a scanner. It was easy to setup and use straight out of the box. the print quality is amazing for the size and faster than other printers.
So far this printer is working as described. print quality is good. speed is good from the time I hit print to actual starting. Hardly no lag time! I can finely print from my phone/tablet!
