How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode

How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode?  I have read some of the "solutions," but they don't make any sense to me.  I need simple instructions.  Thanks!

Hi there!
Try these steps that I have posted below. This will change the settings for all print jobs, so you will need to go back in to these settings if you wish to change the quality back to normal, best, etc.
Source
Once you are in the Printing Preferences window, you will see a Paper/Quality tab, click on it and you can change the Quality to Draft here.
That should work for you! Let me know if this helps

  • The HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer I just bought is not compatible with my Mac Book Pro.  What do I need to do?

    I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer and it is not compatible with the version of the operating system on my mac book pro.  I am currently running on OS X 10.4.11 and the printer is compatible with v10.5 or higher.  What can I do to update the operating system on my Mac Book Pro? 

    10.5 will be harder to find & more expensive, I think I'd go for 10.6
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Apple no longer has it for sale.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It looks like they might still have it...

  • HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One J611 Series - getting exact driver to download

    I need to download a driver for my (per printer label) "HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One J611 Series" -- but at hp.com, see listed only J611-Series models with postfixed abc letters "a" to "k" ... and one w/o a postfixed abc letter, but that lacks "J611" in its model name.
    Also, my printer label does not prefix "e-" to the printer name.
    Would the driver for  "J611-a" work with my printer?
    Or the driver for "HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One" that lacks "J611"?
    Thank you.

    Hi @josedemelo , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing print issues. I would like to help.
    Are you able to make a copy without issue?
    Are you connected via a USB cable or a wireless connection?
    I would recommend performing a power reset on your printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Deskjet 3050A all-in-one J611 series will not allow printing from desktop with windows 8

    Hello, I am trying to set up my fiances desktop to my HP DESKJET 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 series. It says it only supports other windows, windows 8 not being one of them. Both are wireless and I figured there has to be a way to download some software that I could install in order to hookup this computer. Please any help I could get would be appreciated.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 series ---- mac filtering problem

    i have a HP Deskjet 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 and i cannot get my printer to connect wireless. Everytime I try to connect it it always tells me an error. The error says:
    Issue: MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router.
    Solution: If MAC address filtering is enabled on your router you should disable it.
    The thing is i checked my router to make sure the MAC filtering was not enabled and it wasn't. So why does my printer keep telling me this? if i can get passed this problem i think it would connect. The MAC address is already stored in the router.

  • How can I print an email from my android phone to my HP Deskjet 3050A All in One J611 Series?

    I have set up the hp eprint app and can print pictures and other docs from my phone, but cannot print email.  Please advise.

    Are you forwarding the emails to your ePrint email address?
    Sometimes it comes down to the content of the emails. If there are images in the email, it will usually get rejected. You can check the status of the jobs at ePrintCenter under "Recent Print Jobs". If it is saying "Discared - Looks like spam or a virus" then more than likely that is what is causing them to not print off.
    You can try simply emailing your printer with Test in the subject and Test in the body and see if that prints off for you. If it does, there is something about the content of the emails that you are sending to the printer that is causing the servers to reject them.

    I haven't found a setting to correct this.
    The drivers are installed from the HP site and are the drivers for the HP DeskJet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series as suggested by the HP site. I ran all the HP Print and Scan doctor and the HP  Hardware Diagnose Progranm 4.1.
    Does anyone know who I can fix this problem coz this is very annoying:
    Everything I print a art of the bottom falls of th page and isn't printed?
    Thanks,
    Bas

    Hi @basf ,
    I understand that you are having issues with the top and bottom margins not printing properly. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
    What application are you using?
    Check the page setup in the application you are printing from?
    Try another application to see if you have the same results.
    Here is a document for checking the paper size and paper type settings from the print driver.
    Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Printing problem with HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series

    I have a HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series which I am using with Windows Vista Version 6.0 (Build 6006: Service pack 2).  Connecting is by USB port.  I have not used the printer for some time, but have done all the maintence checks & it is good to go.  When I want to print a letter the only thing that gets printed is the email address which is coloured blue.  I think the problem is in the settings of the printer features.  I can print the letter in gray scale but this is not easy to read and not suitable for business dealings.
    I would appreciate help with this problem.  A definition of the terms used in the printer features might help me resolve it by my self.
    Thanks

    Hello @Tellen,
    Thank  you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I understand you are running into some print quality problems with your HP Deskjet 3050. I see when you attempt to print a letter you will only see the email address and its in blue ink.
    First I would like you to click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
    What does the PSDR find? If you are still not getting black text, please continue here: Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) All-in-One Printer Series
    If after the troubleshooting has been done and you are still seeing the issue leave me with the following information:
    1. What is your current Operating system, Windows or Mac and which version?
    2. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
    3. If you print a test page from the front panel do you see the same issue?
    I hope to hear from you soon.

    Purchased less than a year ago countless problems with wireless reinstaled more times than I can think and now paper jams so off to the bin, never to buy HP products again, being disabled is hard enough but having to  going shopping for a new printer this I could do without. thank you HP.

    I am sorry to hear that you are having that issue with the printer. If the printer is under a year old from the date of purchase, please call into HP Total care. The printer comes with a factory warranty that gives the owner free tech support on the product. Paper jams are a hardware issue. If all troubleshooting steps are done on the phone with the agent and the product is still not working. That agent who is assisting you will be able to give further options on what can be done. The number for US and Canada customers is 800-474-6836. Customers in other countries can find contact information here. I hope that this helps.

  • How to Clean Ink Stains on HP 3050 All-in-One J610 series

    Hello - 
    I have an HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610 series printer.  I am a Mac User and am getting notifications with each document I print that I need to "Clean Ink Stains on Printer".  I have put brand new black and tricolor HP ink cartridges, but I am still getting some faded streaks in the documents I print.  I think the "ink stains" are specifically on the printer and not related to the ink cartridges, since I have put new ones in and the situation has not been resolved.  
    Do you have a video or step by step instructions on how to clean these ink stains on the printer so I no longer have faded sections when I print?  My ink cartidges are full and new.  I have had this printer for 3.5 years and have never seen this notification, nor have I ever cleaned the inside of the printer.  
    Thank you for your help.  

    Hello Macuser0210,
    I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with faded streaks on your documents.
