HP Officejet 3831
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have setup my printer Officejet 3831 using the HP Smart app. However the app recognize automatically my device as a different printer (Officejet 3830 series), thus I am receiving wrong cartridges as per my current plan.

 

How can I correct this wrong setup and receive the correct cartridges type (model 302)?

 

Thanks to everyone can help.

 

Regards

Hi @CarrisiMarco85

 

Thanks for replying. HP Officejet 3831 is a part of HP Officejet 3830 series. The Instant Ink cartridges are numbered or labelled differently than the regular ink cartridges. 

 

I'd suggest you try installing the Instant Ink cartridges and see if you can print. 

 

Let me know how that goes.
