DeskJet Ink Advantage 3830
macOS 10.12 Sierra

Purchased a 3830 all-in-one- Printer today. Printer is installed and connected to my network, with valid IP Address, and successfully prints configuration messages and print alignment pages.

Computer is iMac running MacOS Sierra, 10.12.5

I have tried running HP Easy Start setup several times, continue to get error message :

"  cannot  install software, cannot download the software", after download of approx. 2MB

There is no problem with the network, all other downloads run successfully.

The browser is Opera, version 46.0.2597.32

 

Any help, please!
