What is the best way to clean and maintain the HP OfficeJet 3830 Printer? The printer can pick up dust and other particles that may impair the printer's external and internal functions.

Hi @mwolfe808, glad to know that you would like to know how to maintain the printer.

 

You will find all the required troubleshooting on the HP Support site to avoid or resolve any technical issues in the printer.

 

It is the paper rollers and the ink cartridges that you take care of. If there is any dust accumulated on the rollers, the printer may not pick the paper or throw an 'out of paper' error.

 

If there is any dust accumulated on the copper contacts of the ink cartridge, you may experience print quality issues.

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
