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.
Print 
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. I look forward to hear from you.

  • Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

    Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

    Fixing this is a two step process:
    1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
    ... check [√] Ask to join new networks
    "Known networks will be joined automatically.
    If no known networks are available, you will
    be asked before joining a new network."
    2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
    System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
    Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

  • After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

    When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

  • TS1398 I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?

    you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation will not connect to secure WiFi networks.

    My 5th gen iPod touch will not connect to Secure wifi networks. It always says incorrect passcode. I have checked the passcode over and over again and I am sure it's correct. it's not just happening with my home network, also at work it never works. It is fine connecting to unsecure networks though. please help me.

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I just bought a used i book g3 it will not connect to my wifi network, I bought two of them actually one is a g4 other g3, the g4 connects fine, but the g3 not so much. If anyone would have the answer on how to fix it or run a test on it.

    Make sure your network has 802.11b activated. The G3 only supports the "B" wireless networking protocol. Modern networking is "G".

  • I have a new comcast modem i have connected to Time Capsule with cable, TC in double NAT. As when I tried it in bridge mode I cannot use Sonos, the units will not connect to the wifi network? I thought Bridge mode would make the wifi signal better??

    I have the TC connected to the comcast modem, with TC in Double NAT mode. I set up the sonos music players ok. But I read that to incresae the wifi signal the TC should be in Bridge mode. Then I cannot get any of the Sonos units to connect to the wifi network.
    So two questions, does the Bridge mode give a better wifi signal then double NAT?
    Why will sonos not connect to the network when in Bridge mode?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • Mac not connecting to a wifi network when trying to reinstall OSX using Internet recovery

    Hi guys. I'm using a Macbook Air(late 2010 model) and seem to have some trouble reinstallling OSX 10.8.5 using Internet recovery. When I'm trying to reinstall the OS running the recovery mode, the wifi is not connecting. After some trials I noticed that when I run the recovery mode, the network settings are automatically going back to defualt ( I use manual IP address and everything but in recovery mode it falls back to 'Using DHCP'). Just let me know if I'm supposed to provide any other information. I request everyone to help me with this. Thanks in advance.

    I reccomend to set ur router back to dchp and after you are done with recovery set it back to manual ip. Or if you have the DMG of the ur installation, create a bootable installation disk. Several tutorials on youtube based on your OSX version and reformat that way.

  • BB Curve 8520 not connecting to local Wifi network

    I bought this BB two days ago.
    Device info: BB Curve 8520  OS v5.0.0.681
    Your carrier: T-Mobile Prepaid (the Netherlands)
    No Apps and 138598276 Bytes free space
    No Apps installed
    My problem:
    I cannot get my local WiFi to work. I can see the 8520 with IP-nr listed in the Wireless clients overview of my DLink DIR-655 router. I see my local network-id listed on the phone's screen beside T-Mobile. The Wifi symbol is grey. In WiFi profiles I can see my network id with a blackbox and white line it.
    Whenever I want to make contact through WiFi with for example the hotspot browser I immediately see this message which I translated from Dutch: "Cannot connect to the internet. Try again later."
    I have added Wifi with WPS and manually, but nothing helps. Has it something to do with BIS ? I have not used this service and don't even know how to activate that. I am not sure if I even want to do that. I just want to be able to access internet using my local Wifi network.
    I also did a battery pull, a router reboot, but still no go.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Roland

  • TS1398 My ipad will not connect to other wifi networks. It has connected to my main home network but will not connect to the booster network in my home (it has previously!) It will also not connect to other networks outside my home.

    Hi
    I just got new router and had to reset my network settings on IPad. Since then, my ipad will connect onto the main home network but will not attach to my extension booster (netgear) which is linked to the home network. It will also not attach to networks outside my home that it has previously worked with. i have reset the settings again, powered off and on again, updated to the latest IOS update, but nothing is working. Please help, as I can only use wifi in a few rooms in my house and i do not have 3G on my my ipad.

    Did you try forgetting the network and starting all over again?
    Settings>WiFi>Network Name>Tap the blue arrow>Forget this Network. Restart your iPad and then try joining again.
    Try rebooting your router. Even though everything else may be connecting to your Network, it might help with the iPad. Unplug the router for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    Reset Network settings on the iPad?
    Settings>>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to start all over again, Tap WiFi in the settings, find your network and enter the password.

  • Macbook air will not connect to the wifi network

    I recently had to replace my wireless network router and now my macbook air will not connect to the network. it worked fine with the old wireless router. Now, i get a "unable to join wi-fi network" message. The network ID (SSID) and password (WPA) are the same as before. I try to manually enter the password, but continue to get the previous message.
    Any help in figuring out how to correct this problem is greatly appreciated.
    Also, I have several PCs in the house that have had zero problems connecting to my wireless with the new router. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Ever since did the last airport utility update this has been happening.
    I believe the airport utility update is solely a software update. Repair permission and repair disk (boot from your installation disk A) may help.
    Other wise, http://osxdaily.com/2009/12/22/mac-wireless-problems-guide-to-troubleshooting-ai rport-wireless-problems-on-your-mac/ may help, too.
    Cheers.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
