I just got a new printer -- HP OfficeJet 3830 -- and my documents won't print and I keep getting an error message saying that "Encryption Credentials Have Expired."  Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Resetting the printer network settings, reconnecting the printer back to the network and adding compatible driver may resolve the issue. Let's try these steps:

  1. Unplug your modem/router and leave it powered off.
  2. Restart your printer, from the printer control panel, touch "Setup". Touch 'Network Setup", touch "Restore Network Settings".
  3. Power off your printer
  4. Reconnect your modem/router and wait for it to re-establish its internet connection.
  5. Power on your printer.
  6. Run Wireless setup wizard on the printer to connect it back to your network.

Once the printer is connected, use the steps below to remove the existing printer driver and add a compatible driver:

  1. Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.
  2. Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.
  3. If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button  at the bottom of the list.
  4. Click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.
  5. Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.
  6. Try to print.

Let me know how this goes.

Next, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

Sorry, this is not working for me. I have MAC OS. and HP laserjet3833.

This did not work for me. My HP 3830 stopped working after less than two weeks - and nothing seems to get it going.

won't let me type in password

My HP 3830 was working and then suddenly it was not with this "encryption credentials have expired" message.

 

I am not aware of any changes between when it worked and when it refused and this notice appeared.

 

This has happened before, but eventially the printer started working agian.
