Deskjet 3050 Unsuccessful Network Installation

Hi,
I cannot get my Deskjet 3050 to install across the network on my Windows XP machine. The printer is connected to my wireless router OK (a BT HomeHub 2), the printer network diagnostic says everything is OK and I can access the embedded web server on the printer through a browser. I can even print/scan to the device wirelessly from a separate Windows 7 PC on the same network.
The problem on my XP machine is at the very last stage of the install. I select the Network option from the Connection screen, the network is scanned and my printer is listed OK with the correct IP and MAC addresses. I click Next and the progress bar displays on the Installing Printer screen. Files are copied, but the progress bar then hesitates about 1/3rd of the way across, and then continues. The final screen then says Unsuccessful Network Installation and the printer does not appear on my PC. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue with my network installation on the same model. The only information I can add is that my second computer on the network that works correctly with the device is also using the XP operating system. My wireless router is a Netgear WNR2000 and the PC that will not install the printer from the network is connected via ethernet while the laptop that works is connected wirelessly.
As with the previous poster, I am able to view the printer in the list of attached devices from the router administration. I have also tried reserving IP addresses for my devices and selective startup so that all but Microsoft services were disabled at startup, but it still fails installation. I'm hoping there is an HP tech who can shed some light on this because I consider myself pretty handy with installs and I'm at my wits' end.
Thanks for any guidance anyone can provide.

Windows 7 / HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: Unsuccessful Network Installation

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Printer: HP OfficeJet Pro 8600
My goal is to enable the "Scan to Computer" feature of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 on Windows 7, which doesn't find my computer when I try to use it from the printer's front panel touchscreen. The printer's connected to my local wifi network.
In the setup program on the included CD, I've opted NOT to install any software aside from the "HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Basic Device Software", which installs fine. I also opt NOT to install the "ePrint" web services or allow it to connect to the network for updates or share usage statistics or any of that.
During the setup program, the "Network Check" correctly finds the printer on my local wifi network, but the following "Network Printer Installation" part always fails, resulting in "Unsuccessful Network Installation", no other details. The result is the same if I retry with Microsoft Security Essentials' "Real-time protection" off, or with Windows Firewall off. No other anti-virus is running.
The "HP Scan" program fails immediately with the error message "The HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 was not found."
Under Control Panel > "Devices and Printers" I see an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Windows installs and prints with this printer just fine without the provided CD.
Under Control Panel > "Device Manager" the printer is NOT listed under "Imaging Devices".
My Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is running.
Any clues?
This question was solved.

(I never managed to solve this, how did this get marked "Solved?")
I'd be happy with either means of starting a scan. Here are some things I've tried since my last post (sorry, I gave up on this for 2 months and am now trying to get it working again):
I've got the printer connected by USB as well as on the network, and running the software installer with the USB connection option just gets stuck forever at the "Connect the USB Cable" screen. The USB cable is connected.
Under "Scanner Actions" on the HP Printer Assistant application, clicking "Manage Scan to Computer" reports: "Scan to Computer is enabled. You can start a scan from the printer. Your computer is not listed as an available computer on the printer's control panel. Please restart your printer and try again." Tried restarting/unplugging the printer, but that doesn't change anything.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor's first screen reports the State as "Installed" for USB and "Not Installed" for the network. It returns these results for the various steps of "Fix Scanning":
Device Manager: Pass
Driver check: Fail ("The Scan driver is unable to communicate with the product.")
Windows (WIA) scan: Fail (no information given, other than instructions to reboot)
HP Twain scan: Fail ("Scanner communication cannot be established..." dialog)
Registry: Pass
HP Scan: Pass
Since my last post I've also updated the printer's firmware, which seemed to work fine. It's now on firmware version CLP1CN1304AR.
The Windows event log reports several warnings from the software installer saying "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x800401F0" with Event ID 1015, is this important? Tried it again with Windows Firewall off for both public and private networks, no difference.

AIO Remote wont recognize my network printer deskjet 3050

AIO remote app (IOS) did not recognize my network printer (Deskjet 3050), other apps (printer pro lite) did recognize the printer flawlessly, both the printer and the iphone are in the same network, I can print from my PC and my mac but not from AIO remote app (not even recognize the printer).
Can you help me?

Hello MrCrysis,
With the Printer Pro Lite app working to printer, this is excellent to hear. Although this is not an HP app. So to explain as to why the AiO Remote app is not recognizing your printer, and not being able to scan. Your printer does not have AirPrint capabilities according to the 'HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) and 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications'. AirPrint is a requirement for the HP AiO Remote app to work, and because the printer does not have AirPrint the app can not see the printer.

My deskjet 3050 says it is connected to the wireless network but will not print unless wirelessly

my deskjet 3050 all in one j610 printer will not print wirelessly even tho it says it is connected to the network.

My deskjet 3050 j610a isn't connecting to the network in my house.

my deskjet 3050 j610a isn't connecting to the network in my house. I've tried about everything and it still not connecting. It's a wireless printer and it's not connecting to either my desktop or my laptop. what do I do now?

Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network. The WiFi connection should be at the top of the list on the left, and selected. Click the button labeled Assist me and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. How far do you get?

Deskjet 3050 won't recognize wireless network anymore.

Product: HP Deskjet 3050
Operating system: Windows 7-64 bit
Printer quit printing wirelessly. Using the control panel on the printer, I restored defaults. Now it won't recognize any wireless networks. I have unplugged computer, but that didn't help. I don't want to unplug my router, because I will lost all my DVR items (we are on AT&T uverse). Any tips?

Run a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu of the front panel. What does it say?
If everything is OK (which I suspect), re-install the printer with the temporary use of a USB cable just as you did originally when you installed it.

No longer able to print due to new network provider. HP Deskjet 3050 J610a, Windows Surface RT.

4 months without a printer and i am supposed to be running a small business, please help.
Change of internet provider & i can no longer print using usb or wireless.
Print report states network offline; no activity connection, url 0.0.0.0; admin password not set.
I have run diagnosis and fixing tests.
I have tried pressing the push button on printer whilst pressing the WPS on modem.
I am unable to add modem via Control Panel having put my phone code in.
I have the HPSoftware on the cd but my CD\DVD external drive is not compatible with this pc/tablet.
I can't download the software as it states it is not compatible with windows surface RT
I have tried everything with and without the usb lead
I may have uninstalled software so i checked to see list of installed programs and apparently i don't have any programmes installed on this pc (surely not)!
I have been trying to find where i can change/add connectivity settings to maybe enter the PIN number of the printer but am unable to find how.

I checked the HP web site here. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Deskjet-3050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J610/4066450/model/4... And indeed I find no drivers for Windows Surface RT. You will have to connect up a 'regular' windows computer to print.

HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 - Failing to connect to network

Hello,
I own an HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 device.
It worked great for about a year, until one day it just stopped connecting wirelessly to my network.
I haven't changed anything in the network, so I really don't have a clue why this happenned.
The "Wireless" led keeps blinking and I can't figure out where to choose my network from. It asks for a PIN (??) when I go into Wireless Setup.

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.

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.

Deskjet 3050 not compatible with new OSx Lion

Yesterday i purchased a new MacBook Pro from the apple store and it came with a free HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-one j610 series printer. Upon putting in the disk to install and setup the printer it said it wasnt compatible with the new OSx 10.7, Only 10.5 and 10.6 are supported? Long story short my router (that VerizonFios provided) doesn't support WPS so i need to use the USB option to connect my new printer to my network but my MacBook OS isnt supported. Please help. Thats kind of a shame that i get a free printer and cant set it up.

Its just sad that they would even provide a promotion product that isnt compatible with their own. Im going to try and set it up wireless-ly with my pc and if that fails im going back to the store. Thats such a shame that they would do that.

Deskjet 3050 wireless problem

I can see my network on the laptop and can also see the printer, although not sure if its as i installed over USB connection initially.
I can print when connected through USB
Any help would be appreciated.
