I have reinstalled the all the software and drivers using HP easy start again with the same issues :
The blue WIFI light is continuously ON .
1) Printing by USB cable works fine. When I try by WIFI via the HP 3830 Network printer device, the documents get stuck in the print queue. All printer options are unchecked except for default printer (checked for this network printer). HP printer and scan doctor says a device error detected and cannot be fixed with this tool.
2) Tried scanning via WIFI , the scanned image was sent to my computer but with an associated window from HP Scan which said "Unable to communicate with scanner"
3) Have not tried FAx
all the issues seem to indicate driver issues
Thanks

Issue has been resolved. Some went wrong in the initial install and ended up with an extra Network Printer device. So selecting the extra one did not work. So the second time round, I uninstalled and deleted as many of the HP stuff I could find then restored my computer back to an earlier time. The I started the whole full installation process again using HP easy start.
Happy to say that all seems well now with printing an scanning.
