Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Worst electronic device I have ever purchased.......2007-05-30

I have never purchased an electronic device as awful as the HP 3820. I had a Canon that lasted for more than 5 years. Live and learn I guess.

2 out of 5 stars HP 3820 Service Station Gear Problem.......2007-04-02

HP has had big problems with the HP3820. The Service Station Gears within the machine were not designed to withhold stress on the printer carriage. When the carriage is pushed - these gears easily break. HP does not sell these gears. I did find them on eBay. A search of "HP 3820 Service Station Gears" should get you there. Most of the problems described point towards these gears. Hope this helps.

2 out of 5 stars Typical Failure.......2007-01-14

I will keep this short. I experienced the same failure, the ink cartridge sticks on the right side of travel and strips the small plastic gears. I have no problem with the plastic gears as all printers and electronics have them. What really pissed me off was the response from HP; they are aware of this problem and should issue a call back as so many of these have failed in the same manner. I have had considerable luck with other HP products so I will probably continue to use their products.

1 out of 5 stars Same as other problems..........2006-06-02

I just recieved the printer from my boss at work, was sitting outside his office for about a month.... just today took it home and tried to fix it to no avail. It IS a piece of [...], the cartridge was stuck on the right, the back was broken off, and the lights are blinking nonstop.
Went to the HP support website and followed their instructions to unjam it with a screwdriver but pulled off the flex cable (came out easy) on accident. (and cant get it back on)

Save your money for another brand (and dont buy 30 dollar handmedowns)

5 out of 5 stars What a workhorse!.......2006-03-18

I have had a 3820 for a couple of years and it is a tireless, reliable workhorse and produces exceptional black and color output. I will work this thing to death and bury it with a 21 gun salute!
