I found the manual lacked information on how to operate the device. I had to download the manual online. Also, I found installing the inkjet cartridges was poorly designed.

HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer An Amazon review says there is a limit on the pages you can print per month. That you can only print 10 pages per month and then there is a charge per page to print. IS THIS TRUE??
When using Instant Ink there are many different options to choose from. Instant Ink is an option that can be chosen for ink. If you don't want to use Instant Ink you don't have to and you can still use cartridges bought from retail stores.

The Instant Ink site will go into much more detail and explain the service much more thoroughly than space allows in this Forum.
