Can't print from my deskjet 3050

hi, I bought the deskjet 3050 printer and recieved it yesterday. I have not yet been able to print any documents from my laptop. I have correctly installed the ink cartridges and the printer is able to print items selected from the printer screen menu. It is also able to scan items onto the laptop. There are no error messages next to the printer when it is selected on the control panel. However, when i send items to the printer from the laptop they will not print. When I select to view my print list, any item that is sent displays an error message with no explanation next to it. I have also been trying to 'estimate ink levels' but an error message flashes up which reads 'the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device'. I have installed all the appropriate drivers. Is there anything you can suggest?
Thanks

Hi Mryniak,
I understand that you're not able to print from the web. I have a couple of questions for you. Can you print from other programs on your printer? What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser such as Google Chrome?

I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet.

I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet. I tried all the solutions suggested by Apple but haven't gotten in touch with HP yet. I can print through WiFi from my MacBook.

Psm3-
Has anything else changed in your system? Did you install a different WiFi router? Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print Queue. Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center. If you find it, you should be able to cancel the stuck print job.

How can I print from my iPad to my HP Deskjet F4500?

Dear all
How can I print from my iPad to my HP Deskjet F4500?

As it does not appear that that model of printer is AirPrint compatible, you will have too look for HP's Eprint Mobile App in the App store.

Alternatively, you may be able to find softare that can run on your computer that would allow printing to the printer from the iPad. One such application is Printopia for MacOsx

All of a sudden I can't print from Firefox. I reinstalled the printer and also reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I can print from Safari.

I have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
I've had it for more than a year and have always been able to print from Firefox without a problem. I have an HP deskjet 6850 printer.
Now I can't print from Firefox. When I hit print, I get the dialog box but if I click print -- or even click "preview" nothing happens. The dialog box disappears and nothing prints.

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT. All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will. Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working. There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface.
Note: All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers. These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers. These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers. If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below). If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface. This just makes anything you have to type easier to type. You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
Touch Devices and Printers.
Touch Add a Printer.
Touch “My printer is not listed”.
Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next. Note: You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it. The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.
For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install. If it does skip to step 14 below.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Under the Search box, touch Settings.
In the Search box, type Device Manager.
Touch Device Manager.
Touch View and select Show Hidden.
Search for the printer in the Device Manager. It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
Select the printer from the list.
Touch Action.
Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.

Can't print from my IBM

I've spent the last couple of days reviewing similar posts, and tried suggestions within with no success. Here's my problem:
I have an older iMac running 10.3.9 wirelessly connected to the internet with an Airport Extreme I picked up about a year ago. Recently I decided to run my printer through the Airport. My Mac found the printer with no problem, and prints just fine.
I also have an IBM ThinkPad, running Windows XP. I have no trouble, after initial setup headaches, getting the ThinkPad to find the network and get online, but I can't print from the ThinkPad.
I used Bonjour to find the printer, an hp deskjet 940c, and the setup seemed to work. (I used the manufacturer's disk for the driver.) But everytime I try to print I get: "this document failed to print" error message. The ThinkPad is connected to the network and online.
I also wish the ThinkPad could find the iMac. Is this wishful thinking?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but now I'm so close.
I can print from the IBM thanks to ifelix.
I can get files off the IBM onto my iMac, again after using ifelix's guide.
I can't get the IBM to find the iMac.
Here's where I'm stuck: stage 6 of his guide: http://tech.ifelix.net:80/3001.html
I type in the address of this network place, which I confirmed in my iMac under "sharing" and then I'm prompted with a window titled "Connect to 10.0.1.3" It wants me to enter User name and password. I've tried both for the iMac and the Thinkpad and neither work. The window disappears and then quickly returns having added the prefix "10.0.1.3\" to the user name. I've tried using the iMac username and shortname. Nothing works, I can't get past that password / user name window to the "What do you want to name this place?" screen.
Any suggestons?

How can I print from my windows 8 pc to my printer using my 2nd g express?

I have an hp deskjet 1055. It's just a USB printer how can I print from windows to my printer connected to my 2gen airport express? If it only works with airprint printers than why is there belkin routers that can work with any printer?

Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print. You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help

How can I get an HP Deskjet 3050 to work on a macbook air OS 10.9

How can I get an HP Deskjet 3050 to work on a macbook air OS Maverick 10.9.5?

Ok here is a good link Re: how do i setup/connect to my wireless printer I assume the printer is wirless if so this should work. First turn the printer on then go into system preferences and then printers and scanners. It should look for the printer that is on the same wifi as you and then just set it up.

Can't Print from Mac 10.9

I was able to print from my Apple computers to a networked HP DeskJet 3050a until recently. Now the computers cannot find the printer. I can still print from a windows computer on the same network. I have ran software updates and am current on everything. Does anybody have any ideas here or any updates from HP or Apple to solve printing to HP networked printers?

Try restarting your router. If that does not work, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Printing problems Desket 3520 - says i can only print from apps

So frustrating.
Since upgrading to Window 8.1 I have nothing but print problems, despite unistalling and reinstalling. Now when I try to print,when I click on the print icon (that comes up from the swipe side bar) i get a message saying I can only print from apps. So I have been unable to print word docs etc of any kind. The printer works fine from my iphone and ipad and the laptop can see the printer wirelessly and connects to it - BUT IT WONT PRINT!! I've had to resort to emailing the docs to myself to print from my ipad - ridiculous!
WHAT is happening HP? I use an HP laptop and HP printer for a REASON, compatibilty. NOT SO since the update.
Please can someone send me an easy fix for this frustrating problem. 'Ive tried everything and I'm fairly computer savvy.
Regards and TIA

Hey there @lissim09 welcome to the forums
I am not quite sure why your Windows 8.1 is not printing to your Deskjet 3520 however, I have some ideas to try and find out and hopefully get it printing for you. The printer is working with other devices, which shows us the printer itself is alright.
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Please send me the results.
Also try a Clean Boot, restart the PC and try a print again. This will turn off all start up programs running on your PC, in the case there is something running that is blocking the printer from printing, this should bypass it. Also disable your firewall temporarily.
Try printing from two programs afterwards.
Also include how you have the printer connected to the PC (wireless, ethernet, usb).
Thank you

MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

Hello Everyone!
I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6) can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
Please respond soon.__________________________________________

Hello again!
I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
Chris

Can not print from preview after Lion Update

I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages. So I don't think it's a printer/driver error. Help?

I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.
