HP DeskJet F380 - A never!

A few weeks ago, i had to print a 15 page assignment for my general computing.... i had a kind fren, Sandeep, who willing borrowed me his printer... " HP Deskjet F380 - All-in-1 Printer"....

it offers the capability to print, scan and copy... not to forget that it is a good photo printer... earlier this year when i was working in a computer retail shop, i used to sell this model of the printer.... At that time, i had to promote that quality and features this printer carries but i never actually used it then....

Now when i had to use it.... it was a hell of an experience.... can u imagine it took me 2 hours to print 10 black and white pages.... 2 HOURS!!! this printer is well known of its paper-jam capability.... when u click print from microsoft words or any application, the printer will feed in the paper and the "-E-" sign will appear on the printer's display panel and a message box will pop out saying "paper jam"....

the solution of the paper jam issue???

1) Switch of the printer and on it back.

if that doesnt solve the problem --> proceed to Step 2

2) Go to printer and fax in control panel and delete the printing task.
3) Go to microsoft words or any application and try to print ur document again..

if that doesnt solve the problem --> repeat Step 2 then Step 1 and then Step 3

if that still doesnt solve the problem --> proceed to Step 4

4) Go to Control Panel > System > Device manager. Uninstall the printer and reinstall it again...

Then do Step 2 then Step 1 and then Step 3.

If that also doesnt solve ur problem --> proceed to Step 5

5) Restart your pc. Then repeat the process from Step 1 to 4 in any order that u think might get ur work to be printed out....


i noe the steps are confusing and complicated... thats y i spent more than 2 hours....

Conclusion : Do not buy this printer... A fren of mine told me that HP printers often have this paper jam issue... So, also do consider Canon, Epson or any other brand if u need to buy a printer...
