HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer
Chrome OS

I recently bought a new Chromebook -- an Acer 317.  My old Chromebook had stopped connecting to my OfficeJet 3830, but I was able to print from my iPhone.  When I got the new Chromebook, it automatically connected to the printer for about two weeks and then unconnected itself, even though both devices are logged into the same network.  I also cannot print from my iPhone any longer, not even through the HP Smart app.  I know that the printer is no longer supported, but it's in perfect condition.  You keep sending me ink cartridges.  Shouldn't it still at least be able to print?  I'm on a fixed income and it would be such a waste of money to have to buy a new printer right now.  Hope you have a solution . . .

 

Thanks.
