HP Deskjet 3520 Printer series drivers for Windows

A practical all-in-one printer

The HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer series remains practical for everyday printing, scanning, and copying. Its wireless connectivity and automatic two-sided printing suit home offices, schoolwork, and routine documents. It is not designed for heavy workloads, but its straightforward features make it useful for basic productivity tasks.

The HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer series offers a compact design with Wi-Fi connectivity and USB support. Its flatbed scanner and monochrome LCD simplify everyday operations, while borderless printing adds flexibility for photos and other media. However, its modest recommended monthly volume clearly limits its intended workload.

The strongest part of the HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer series is its balanced approach to everyday usability. The device combines printing, copying, and scanning in one unit, while built-in Wi-Fi connectivity reduces the need to keep a computer physically connected. Automatic duplex printing helps conserve paper, and the front-panel controls make common tasks reasonably straightforward, giving users a practical experience for routine home and office work.

Everyday convenience meets practical limits 

HP specifies up to 1,200 x 600 rendered dpi for black printing and up to 4,800 x 1,200 optimized dpi color printing under specified conditions. The scanner reaches 1,200 dpi optical resolution, while copying supports reduction and enlargement from 25% to 400%. However, its recommended volume of 300–400 pages monthly suggests it is better suited to moderate use than demanding office environments.

The main drawback is that this is an older printer platform, so current operating-system support deserves attention before installation. HP's driver page requires users to select their operating system and warns that drivers may not be provided when an operating system is not listed. The hardware also lacks automatic multitasking, and its relatively small 80-sheet input and 15-sheet output capacities are better suited to occasional printing than high-volume work.

A sensible choice for light printing

The HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer series earns a cautious recommendation for users seeking printing, scanning, copying, and Wi-Fi in one straightforward device. Its automatic duplexing and useful scan capabilities add practical value, while modest paper capacity, limited workload recommendations, and aging driver support reduce its suitability for demanding users. Overall, it remains best suited to basic home and light office productivity rather than intensive printing.
