Short lifespan for 3820
, Jan. 15, 2004
Comments:
The 3820 delivered good print quality. But it only did it for a few months before quitting. The estimate for the repair was more than the cost of the printer.

This printer is hard to get back after paper jams, etc.
, Dec. 19, 2003
Comments:
Error lights go on often, paper jams cause continuous printing of jibberish and it just messes up too often. Currently, not working at all.

I have worked with HP's customer service several times. Reinstalled the print drivers, etc. Changed out the ink cartridges. It will only print once before showing a non-exsistant jam and the cartridge light begins to blink. Will return.

I've had two of these printers. The first one had horrible print quality. I thought I just had a bad cartridge so I bought a new one. Nope, the printer was the cause. Took it back to the Apple store for an exchange. Second printer has been working OK,

The printer is slow but the real problem is that it says the black ink cartridge is defective and it won't print...we have purchased two new ones and it won't recognize them. We are taking it back.

On the advertisement you show a $50 rebate. You should mention that you MUST buy a COMPUTER with the printer. I had to read the fine print to find this out. I was diapointed to find out that I didn't have $50 comming to me.

I do like the quality of the print, but the printer is very sensitive, it stops and jams up for no reason at all. The last time it stoped I can't get it to work, the ink cartridge is jammed and it won't budge. Will buy a new printer, but not a 3820.
