Rating: Summary: Worked pretty well - for a while Review: I have just joined the legions of HP Deskjet 3820 owner's whose machines just crapped out on them. I gave it a 3 out of 5 because it was inexpensive and it did work for almost a year.On glossy paper, the print looks good. It is definitely not "professional" quality, but I have used it to produce brochures and flyers with good success. The ink is expensive - although that is almost always the case with the inkjets - HUGE profit center for those guys. All in all, for what you pay, I guess this printer is not a bad deal.
Rating: Summary: Unreliable Review: Almost from the day I got it, sometimes it would print and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it prints a whole page, sometimes only half the page, sometimes a quarter of the page. Despite technical assistance on more than one occasion it continues to be completely unreliable.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst printers I have ever used! Review: This printer came free after a mail-in rebate and I guess you get what you pay for. With this printer you can not print business cards or on any paper other than light weight printer paper. It ALWAYS pulls in two or more sheets of paper and I must feed in one sheet at a time. It is more of a hassle than it is worth. :-) IT WAS FREE
Rating: Summary: PIECE OF JUNK Review: Very temperamental, quirky printer. DO NOT BUY IT. Once you have a paper jam, chances are it will never work again. I was always having to uninstall/re-install the software after it would spit out endless sheets filled with hieroglyphics! Another crappy product from HP.

Rating: Summary: Stops working after ink runs out! Review: I had the same experience as other reviewers, after the first ink cartridge runs out, it stops working.
Rating: Summary: This printer is garbage Review: Stopped working when first black ink cartridge ran dry. Did some research on web and found this to be common problem. Called HP but 90 day warrenty had just expired. BUYER BEWARE.
Rating: Summary: It's the pits! Review: I've had 3 Epson's and now 2 hp's. This 3820 is absolutely the worst! It is terribly slow. HP advertises it to print 12ppm in B&W plain ordinary letter type media... How about one page in 70 seconds -- that's 1 minute and 20 seconds! HP's tech support suggested that I get a better quality USB connecting cable.. This I did and it improved it somewhat... but way too slow! Bad choice... Gene Rhodes Seattle, WA
Rating: Summary: lord Review: I think that HP deskjet 3820 wil good solution from all people, because it's quality photo printing.A think that 3820 has very good relation price-quality.
Rating: Summary: Works well when it works Review: I bought this printer in June of 2003, and have had to return it for a replacement three times! First time it lost communication with the black ink cartridge, second time, the replacement started printing crooked and it made a lot of noise. It also ate a page of labels which was a pain to clean out. The third printer I received wouldn't print the whole document. Just a portion would be printed and sometimes it would just eject a blank page. The instant support over the web was manned by people who spoke broken English, but they were prompt and polite (to be fair). I think that HP is having trouble producing commodity items of this sort. Buyer beware!
Rating: Summary: Good printer, good price Review: I got this printer as part of a bundle deal when i bought my hp 752n pavillion computer. I've had it for 2 years now, and I love it. To start with, a printer lasting 2 years and still having good quality is incredible. One thing that many people seem to like is the ease of use of teh computer. There are threebuttons on the computer. One cancells the print job, one ejects paper, and one is a power button. Anotehr cool thing that it does, is that if you open the top while the computer is on, an arrow will slide to one of 5 choices, which will tell you whats happeing with the printer. It will either go to the smiley face (everything is good), Two ink buttons (no more black and white ink/no more color), Or two trouble buttons (I dont know what that means, becuase that has never happened to me!!! This printer is that good
