Deskjet 3050 J610 Wifi Printing on Windows 8.1

So I've successfully Connected my printer wirelessly to my router. Its an HP Desjet 3050 J610 Series. 
Steps reproduced.
- Installed Drivers (Run as admin)
- Setup Printer over Wifi via HP setup. Success. I'm even able to ping my printer!
- Print a test page Over wifi...Error!
- Used WPS Sync Button on both Printer and Wifi Router..Failed
- Reset PC. 
- Uninstall/Re-Install Drivers. Still Failing. 
End
Priting works fine Via USB but not over wifi. I have a Linsys E1200 Router. I've also checked Printer/File sharing is enabled, & ran the Windows Auto Troubleshooter. But no dice, status displays "Error" on Device and Printer Settings. 

Hello LL_01,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you have been trying to setup the Deskjet 3050 on Windows 8.1 over WiFi, it will allow you to ping the printer but not print.
See if the Print and Scan Dr is able to locate the printer over the network and print with it.
If unable, try reconfiguring the printer via USB, these steps removed from this guide: Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
Optional : If you previously installed the software for a USB connection and now want to change to a wireless network connection, follow these instructions to remove the USB installation before you continue.
Right-click the Start button ( ) or the lower left corner of the screen, and then clickSearch .
In the Search box, type HP , and then click the icon for your printer. The printer software opens.
Click Utilities , and then click Printer Setup & Software Selection .
Click Convert a USB connected printer to wireless or Connect a new printer (the phrase differs depending on the version of software your computer is running).
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the software. Once the printer has been set up on the wireless network, there is no need to continue with the steps in this document.

  • 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.
    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • "The HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series was not found." Can't scan with wireless printer to desktop. Help

    Our new wireless printer will not scan.  I have tried to scan from the computer and get the below error message and then I have activated the scan from printer and when I push the scan button on the printer, I get the same error message. 
    Thanks!

    I had some problem. I found you must use HP 'Update IP address' program to add printer instead use window add printer.  All programs -> HP ->HP Deskjet 3050 610 series -> Update IP address.

    It appears that one of our Experts is trying to answer your inquiry on another member's Thread on this subject.
    I will comment briefly here and then withdraw.
    Commentary
    After installing the Full Feature Software, at least in many cases involving Windows 8.1 installs of the printer software, you should see a Printer Assistant shortcut on your Desktop.  You can use the Printer Assistant to access the Scan to Document or Photo software package. 
    Although there is a scan program within the hierarchy of many of the Printer software folders, I have not seen an recent instance where the scan program is a stand-alone executable.  In other words, you must call the Scan package from a parent program, even assuming you can find a "Scan" program in Bin or another similar folder.

  • I cant find the printer code on my HP deskjet 3050 J610 all-in-one printer

    I have disconnected wireless and turned off printer and turned on and re connected.  I have changed DNS to 8888 and secondary to 8844.  I have printed out 5 Network configuration pages and 4 Printer status reports and NOTHING has the printer code on it. How can I get one?  Thanx,  Anna

    Hi Anna,
    I afraid the Deskjet 3050 (J610) does not support any web service as ePrint or Print Apps.
    Only the Deskjet 3050A (J611) support ePrint as you may find listed below:

  • Deskjet 3050 J610 Wireless Setup Problem - Thinks I'm using MAC filtering

    I just got an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 from my parents, who have never used it.  The ink cartridges were still in their wrappers.  Trying to set it up tonight, and everything was going well until I tried connecting it to the wireless network.
    My router does not have WPS, so I'm having to do this via USB.  The software is able to detect my router's SSID, encryption type, and password.  However, when trying to connect the printer to the router, it fails.  The Wireless Network Test Report claims that it might be because of MAC address filtering.  I double checked my router settings, and I am NOT using MAC filtering at all.  I have not yet tried rebooting everything (Printer, laptop, router), but I am doubtful that will resolve the issue.  For security reasons, I would prefer not to say what security I'm using, but I will say that it IS supported by the printer.
    I'm using Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, and my ISP is Verizon Fios.

    Hi Manjunath, I spent the last hour on that site.  Everything I found was about how to add the printer's MAC address to the router's filter settings.  But I repeat, I am NOT using MAC filtering on my router, but the printer thinks I am.
    Or rather... THOUGHT I was.
    Rebooting the printer and the router helped.  Of course, I did both at the same time, so I'm not sure which one was required, or both, but the long and the short of it is, it works now.

  • 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.

  • COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH SCANNER TO COMPUTER OF DESKJET 3050 j610

    WHEN i TRY TO SCAN USING MY DESKJET 3050 j610 A MESSAGE SHOWS 'COMMUNICATION  PROBLEM NOT CONNECTED THEREFORE i AM NOT ABLE TO SCAN.
     i HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OVER 8 HOURS AND I' M GETTING SICK. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING AVAILABLE ON THE SUPPORT PROGRAMS INCLUDING 'PAINT' AND NOTHING WORKS.
     I NEED A ANSWER OR I;LL THROW THIS THING OUT

    I have the same problem here, i have two PC's both running Windows 7 but only one works printing and scanning wirelessly.
    On the PC running Windows 7 32bit wireless printing and scanning works great.
    On the PC running windows 7 64bit only wireless printing works. Havent found a solution, but just a work around. Here it is......
    1. Got to you printer and hit the Wireless button to find the IP address your router gave it.
    2. Open up your Internet browser and input the IP address.
    and...BAM!!!       if it worked it should take you to the Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610a Embedded Web Server page and from there you can scan with what looks like all the original options if the thing was working to begin with and save to your PC.

  • Error when trying to scan from my HP DeskJet 3050 J610 (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore -9929.)

    When trying to use my HP DeskJet 3050 J610 series I get an error (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore -9929.)  It can't scan.  Anyone know how to fix it?

    The error is ICReturnScannerFailedToSelectFunctionalUnit, but I am not sure what that means. Is there an HP disgnostic available? Are the drivers current? Maybe HP has some experience with this error.

  • Deskjet 3050 Won't Print Wirelessly

    Hi there,
    My new all in one 3050 won't print for me. It is "Offline" in the network page. I feel I have explored every avenue and it will still not print. The wireless network configuration page I printed says everything passed. The home network disagnostic tool says "software missing" after i click test connection. The print diagnostic tool fails on connectivity everytime. I can connect to the printer ip 192.168.1.3 in the browser 95% of the time but not always. My router is a Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3. I'm really close to tears with frustration, I'm quite computer and networking savvy but I cannot fix this. please help, I'd be eternally grateful.
    Kind Regards,
    Larry.

  • Deskjet 3050 does only print JPG files in color - all other docs are only printed in black and white

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with my Deskjet 3050 Printer. (USB connected with my laptop).
    My printer won't print colored documents in color but only in black and white (except for JPG files (photos) which are printed in color.
    Word documents or PDF files (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if these are in color.
    Copying colored pages with my printer is no problem.
    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.
    The cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.
    Could the problem be related to the printer settings which I might have changed by accident.
    Thanks in advance for your advise.

  • Deskjet 3050 no longer printing wireless or wired

    I have an HP Envy widows 8. and deskjet 3050 J610a and it no longer prints.  I keep getting an error message :"Unable to Communicate with Printer".  it worked just great a couple days ago and nothing has changed since then other than it stopped printing.  Can i talk with an HP  customer support person somehow?

    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.

  • HP deskjet 3050 J610c - draft print problem

    Hi,
    I have just bought the above mentioned printer and noticed that when I copy something the resulting printout is not in draft mode and so uses a lot of ink. I have gone through all settings, even on pc, and have not found a way to set the copy print setting to draft. Is there a way to set the printer to always print in draft mode?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    morris

    I can print in draft on my deskjet 3050, but I can't set the copy function to draft mode. I've searched manuals, printer settings on computer and printer, internet, and all I can find is posts similar to this.
    And so I have the same problem - excess ink consumption, and the paper is messed up because it's soaked with ink.
    Had I known it doesn't do draft mode copying, I doubt I would have bought the printer.  Almost all my printing and copying is done in draft mode. I'm really annoyed. I'd rather feel stupid though - if someone could point out how to set the printer to produce copies in draft or low quality mode.
    Funny, HP advertises this printer as being environmentally friendly ... "ENERGY STAR® Qualified" they say whatever that means. I don't think wasting ink is particularly green.
    "Eco Highlights
    • Designed with the environment in mind—created from 35% recycled plastic.
    • Recycle or reuse 99% of this packaging—including a reusable bag.[eco01]
    • Low energy: Sleep mode is comparable with powering a clock radio."

  • Deskjet 6980 will not print with Windows 7

    This printer worked fine until a recently. Now I cannot print from Windows 7 desktop computer. The printer shows that it is offline. The report page from the printer tells me everything is connected and OK. I can print from my lap with XP Home Edition with no problems. I followed several ideas on this forum  and other web sites but none of them worked. If I restart the spooler, I get Error - Printing and nothing else. I ran the Windows 7 troubleshooter but it said it can't fix the problem. I can open the printer web page and everything looks OK. I installed Windows 7 in November and it has been printing OK until now.  Windows update says everything is up to date. I did install the patch mentioned here. Any ideas?

    Did you delete the printer in Devices and Printers and re-add it?
