Deskjet 3050 HPJ610a not connecting

I have the above printer.
I am trying to get it to print using the wireless. I have been all over the HP pages, but nothing helps. I turn on the wireless connection, and the little screen says "wireless on" but it also says "not connected". How do I get the printer to connect to my wireless network?

Hello sandtalker. I understand you want to connect your printer wireless. I located the HP Wireless Printing Center which provides troubleshooting you can attempt to resolve your issue: http://www.hp.com/global/ca/en/wireless/troubleshooting.html
Please inform me of your results. If this troubleshooting does not help, please provide your troubleshooting results for each step of the above link. If you could also respond with the operating system of your computer, that would be greatly appreciated.

Deskjet 3050 will not connect via wps or wireless

We recently changed to century link and the wireless printer does not connect to the internet. I deleted and tried reinstalling the software but with Mac OS X Maverick it doesn't show any or recognize it. The printer works connect through USB. In the HP Network configuration it says netwrok status offline active connection type none under 802.11 wireless status is disconnected everything else says enabled and my netwrok was discoved with the SSID at page bottom. I called centurylink and they are confident their settings are correct.

Hi gchart57,
Your model printer connects to a network with the aid of the HP software, either for Windows or Mac. The driver provided through Apple for OS X 10.9 does not have the ability to connect the printer to the network. It must already be connected.
WPS is normally a valid way to connect, but you might have to reset the wireless on the printer to get that to work. This
Another method is to use a computer running Windows or an older version of OS X to connect the printer to the network and then Mavericks can see it.

HP Deskjet 3050 - Unable to connect to WPA secured wireless network

Hello,
My first post here so please excuse any faux pas on my part. I bought this HP Deskjet 3050 a week ago and have been waging war with it ever since. I'd be really grateful if someone could possibly advise on how I can resolve this.
I am unable to connect the printer to my secured wireless network, even though other computers, cell phones, etc. are connected without issue. I have tried WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-Mixed security modes with the same failure. Specifically, the connection wizard reaches 66% and then displays the error that the wizard is unable to find network/printer. If I disable the security, the printer connects fine.
I'm using a Linksys WRVS4400N router with firewall and associated firewall settings disabled. The router is broadcasting on 802.11G/N mixed mode.
I'm installing the software supplied on the setup CD on a Windows XP SP3 system. I have confirmed that the network the PC and printer are connected to are the same.
A question as well, if I may: I haven't tried these drivers yet but I see there are updated drivers for the printer dated 14/12/2010. The release notes indicate improved networking, but don't elaborate beyond this. Does anyone know if there was a known problem with connecting to secured networks that has now been fixed?
Finally, just a note that I'm partially sighted and am using a screen reader on all systems. I'll try my best to be as helpful as I can but please do excuse me if I occasionally can't find settings, etc. on screen and need a bit more detailed help.
Thanks in advance for your help, which I really will appreciated.
Have a pleasant day,
All the best for now and take care,
Hussein.

HI,
firstly, apologies for the delay getting back to you. Poor health has meant I've had little time nor inclination to do much on the computer side of htings.
Anyway, I'm please to say the problem with the HP 3050 failing to connect to my network is now solved. It seems to be a bug with the setup software, and that seems to include the latest version posted Dec 2010.
To resolve the problem, I did the following:
1. Disable all security options for the network, so it's just an open network.
2. Connect the HP 3050 to the network using the setup wizard. This time it connected OK for me.
3. Locate the printer's IP address. I used the client list table accessed through my router's interface. You may be able to get this through the printer's on-screen menu, but as I'm partially sighted, this wasn't an option for me.
4. Log into the printer's control panel at http://ip.address.of.printer e.g. http://192.168.2.108
5. Under the advanced options, configure the settings for the network, including security protocol and passphrase. Remember to enter the SSID of the network exactly as configured on the router.
6. Apply the settings and log out of the printer's control panel.
7. Log back into the router's control panel and re-apply the security options. Be sure that they match those match those entered for the printer.
Hopefully this will be of use to others in the same position.
Thanks again for your time.
Best,
H.

HP Deskjet 3055A does not connect to WIFI with security

I am trying to configure a Deskjet 3055A on my DD-WRT router. I am a highly skilled networking engineer so I know 100% what I am doing.
Firstly, DD-WRT does not support WPS conenction, because these are highly insecure. This means my only method of connecting the pritner to my home network is to connect it to my PC and use the installation utility (dowloaded from your drivers page) I am using version 28.8.
My router supports both 2.4 and 5GHz and I know the printer is only 2.4GHz. I completely disabled the 5GHz network for the purpose of connecting the printer even though it should not have any effect.
I have also rebooted my router, and reset the printers wireless network using its in-built control panel.
Anyway, after a shameful 2 hours troubleshooting, I managed to find out that the printer WILL NOT CONNECT to the WIFI network if any security is applied against it. It works 100% fine with open security however, this is completely unnacceptable.
I have tried both WPA Personal and also WPA2 Personal, both with the same effect.
For the sake of trying, I also added the printer to my open WIFI network and tried to manually edit the WIFI setting through the printers web interface however, whenever I try and access the Wireless setup wizard, I simply get an error saying "Internal System Error" - eventually I managed to get around this other bug that has been there for years (see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Internal-System-Error-prevents-access-t...
After going through the printers web interface WIFI setup, the issue is still the same and it will not connect.
HP, we were about to order 2500 of these printers for our remote site users. If you do not come up with a quick solution/bug fix, consider the business lost!

Ian

After much playing I managed to find a fix for this!
For all users who are unable to find a fix using the other methods, here's what to do.
Change your local network to open security but note down your WIFI setting for your typical setup.
Connect the printer to the open network using the HP software (using a USB cable)
Go to the printer's URL, but ensure you connect using HTTPS - if you get an internal system error, keep refreshing until it works (WHAT A JOKE!!!!)
Click on "Network" on the top, then click on "Advanced" on the left.
Enter the network settings as they should be when secured.
At the bottom, tick "In an infrastructure network, use 802.11b/g behaviour(assuming your netwoek supports g, otherwise use the b only option), then click apply.
Turn your wireless security back on, on your router and then the printer should connect!
I really am baffled as to why this isn't automatically enabled, if the printer doesn't work with wireless security on a Wireless N network, then have this as the default!
HP - feel free to thank me in this post!

HP Deskjet 3050 J611 series connection to Pace 4111N

I had Comcast internet and used this printer via wireless connection to my home computer via a Netgear wireless router. I now have AT&T internet with their wireless modem and cannot connect this printer to the wireless network. My computer is setup on the new wireless network. I have followed the setup instructions and printer CD software but to no avail. I can print via a USB connection. The modem is a Pace Model 4111N.

Hi @rlb5253
The HP software automatically gathers network settings by temporarily connecting a USB cable from the printer to a computer that is connected to the new network. Follow these steps to reconnect the printer to the network.
Click the Windows icon (), click All Programs, click HP, and then click the folder for your HP printer.
Click USB to Wireless, and then follow the on-screen instructions. Do not connect the printer to the computer with the USB cable until prompted. At the end of the process you are prompted to remove the USB cable.
Restart any other computers on the network that use the wireless printer.

What happens when you try the steps above? Do you maybe have mac filtering enabled on the router? Mac filtering is not related to Apple or Macs, a devices mac address is its hardware address. Perhaps the router is blocking the connection from being established, thus mac filtering.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

HP Deskjet 3000 does not connect via Wireless to Windows 8.1 any more

Good day. My job requires me to move with my laptop (Asus X54C with NO bluetooth, only wireless) between multiple workplaces. One of these offices has an HP Deskjet 3000 wireless printer, which I used with no problem whatsoever under Windows 8.0 64-bit.I didn't even need to install its drivers, because Windows 8 would instantly recognise the driver's wireless signal.
Then a month ago I decided to update to Windows 8.1: after that, the printer suddenly stopped appearing in my “Network Connections”. I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall the 8.1 signed drivers by HP, but to no avail. The printer is recognised and works perfectly with an USB cable. I clearly recall seeing it on the right-hand pane (“Networks”), but since the 8.1 update it isn’t there anymore. The icon in the System Tray tells me that “connections are available”, but I can see no connections at all. In that particular office there is no Internet connection or other wireless connections apart from the HP printer (that however I cannot connect to). I'd like to point out that the wireless function is OK because a colleague of mine can still print using his Mac's Airport connection.
I have already posted in the Windows 8 (Microsoft Answers) Forum, but nobody has ever answered. You can find the thread here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/winows-81-not-finding-wireless-...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

HP deskjet 3050 no longer connects to wireless since changing the router

The printer no longer prints to wireles or when connected via USB for that matter. Recently changed routers and now it doesn't pick up the printer. I have tried to reinstall the software and that hasn't made a difference. Help please!!

Hi nikki879,
Here is a way you can connect the printer to your router:
-Restore network defaults inside the wireless menu on the printer front panel.
-From your computer, connect wireless to the printer's network (it should be a name similar to HP-Setup-xx-Deskjet 3050A J611).
-After successfully connecting to the printer, open your web browser and type in 192.168.223.1 in the addressbar and press enter.
-Click on Wireless Setup Wizard
-Select your router and enter the password to connect the printer to the router.
Rerun the printer software from your computer to rediscover the printer over the network.

Deskjet 3050 J610 will not install on Mavericks or new Router

I have had a deskjet 3050 J610 for a couple years and it has worked fine with our MacBook Pro (with the exception of updates) . We recently restored our MacBook and added Mavericks. We also have a new netgear modem/router. We can not connect the printer to our network or to the laptop wirelessly. Here is what has happened so far after spending hours attempting everything we could find online with no sucess......
-I can print from the Mac with a USB cable connected to printer
-I've restored the printers default settings
-Printed the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows our Network
It says my HP printer cannot find the access point.
Everything passed except network name found....this failed
Network status-Offline
embedded web server-http://0.0.0.0 I can't even get to the webpage
network name (SSID)-HPJ610a.0798A0
ip address-not applicable
The blue light for wireless flashes on printer.
When I go to Wireless Menu it says wireless radio is on.
My next option is Settings, Under Settings I have Disable, WPS and Defaults.
Under WPS I get Push Button or PIN......neither worked.
Printer DOES NOT have a wireless setup wizard!
I have checked for updates on the Mac and do not have any (Original CD not compatible with Mavericks). When I go to System Preferences-Print/Scan, it shows the printer as disabled. I tryed downloading software & drivers from HP's website, but when I go to my Applications menu, there is not an HP folder/icon.
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
Currently a full feature software is not available for your products for Mavericks, however there are some other workarounds to connect the printer to your network.
Please follow these steps to create a temporary ad-hoc connection and then set the wireless connection through the printer's EWS page:
On the printer click on Wireless, then select Reset Wireless.
Turn the printer Off and back On.
If the wireless light is not blicking, click the wireless button and turn the Wireless Radio On.
From your Mac click the Wireless icon and then on Join Other Networks.
Click on Show network and connect to the printer SSID which includes J610 as part of its name.
Note: Allow 1-2 minutes to fully establish the temporary connection.
Open Safary, then click the Bonjour menu and select the listed Deskjet 3050.
Note: if there is no Bonjour option at the top menu, click Safary > Preferences > Advanced and check both of the Include Bonjour options at that screen. click OK and the Bonjour menu will appear.
Go to Network / Wireless and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your home network.
On your Mac click the WiFi icon and reconnect the Mac to your home network.
Now both your Mac and the printer are connected to your network, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking the plus sign.

Shlomi

Upgrade Deskjet 3050 all in one J610 to print Apple AirPrint?

Anyone knows if you can upgrade Deskjet 3050 all-in-one j610 to print AirPrint from my Ipad?
Or in a way to work around printing to this J-model from my Ipad?

The Deskjet 3050 does not support AirPrint. AirPrint requires firmware in the printer that understands the AirPrint format.
You can use the HP ePrint application,

My Deskjet 3050 J610 will not connect to my Virgin WiFi router for use with Apple Mac laptop.

I live in the UK and have Broadband access via a Virgin connection and WiFi router. My Apple MacBook laptop connects to the WiFi with no difficulties. However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

See if this helps.

Deskjet 3050 not connecting to my wifi network

Accidentally pressed Restore Default and my printer will not connect to my wifi network. How do reinstall it please?

Hi @Rotini
A full feature driver for Yosemite is not available for your printer, either from the CD that shipped with your printer or from the HP website. This document applies to HP printers supported in Mac OS X versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks), and 10.10 (Yosemite) that only have drivers available through Apple Software Update.
With that being said, I can help you put the printer on your wireless network without software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
Connect to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3050a and then part of the MAC address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.
You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.
The blue wireless light will go solid, put the Mac back on your own network.
Add the printer to the System Preferences.
