Hi @Lauravlzz98,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Yes, you can use your HP DeskJet 3752 printer to print barcodes and labels. While the HP DeskJet 3752 is primarily designed for standard printing tasks, it can handle printing on label sheets and produce barcodes with the right software and paper. Here's how you can do it:

Materials Needed

1. Label Sheets: Ensure you purchase label sheets that are compatible with inkjet printers. Avery and other brands offer a variety of label sizes and configurations.
2. Barcode Software: Use software that can generate barcodes. Options include:
   • Online barcode generators
   • Software like Microsoft Word, which has label templates and supports barcode fonts
   • Dedicated barcode software like Bartender, ZebraDesigner, etc.

Steps to Print Barcodes and Labels

1. Design Your Labels

Using Microsoft Word:

1. Open a new document in Word.
2. Go to the "Mailings" tab and select "Labels".
3. Click on "Options" to choose the label vendor and product number (e.g., Avery 5160).
4. Click "OK" and then "New Document" to create a template.
5. Fill in the label information, including text and barcodes. For barcodes, you can use a barcode font or insert images of barcodes generated from an online barcode generator.

Using Online Barcode Generators:

1. Visit a barcode generator website (e.g., Online Barcode Generator).
2. Enter the data for the barcode and generate the image.
3. Download the barcode image.
4. Insert the barcode image into your label template in Word or another software.

2. Load Label Sheets into Printer

• Open the paper tray of your HP DeskJet 3752.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the label sheets.
• Place the label sheets into the tray, making sure they are aligned properly.

3. Print Your Labels

• In your label design software, go to "File" > "Print".
• Select your HP DeskJet 3752 printer from the list.
• Check the print settings to ensure they match the label sheet size and layout.
• Print a test page on plain paper to ensure alignment.
• If everything looks correct, print on the actual label sheets.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
