Deskjet 3050 wifi works w/ open WEP

Dears, just bought HP 3050 deskjet and i like te way it looks and works. I want to SHARE EXPERIENCE - issue solved.
Yes, the wireless issue is painful indeed.
This is how i SOLVED it for my setup: i set up WEP open & 128bit ascii key and now no problem at all.
What is interesting: while using wpa-psk (wpa2 personal + aes) i managed to connect the printer to B/G-router, but couldnt access webserver by http://printer.ip  over WIFI. No matter if ip was by dhcp or manual, firewalls on&off, etc, etc, etc. But when i hooked my laptop to router by wire ethernet - the printer's webpage opened normally. Sme network, same settings. I see some magic here.
Finally i desided to stay on wep open, coz with this kind of "security" i can normally use scaner/printer and open printer's webpage also over wifi on bot sides (lap->wifi->router<-wifi<-printer).

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.1.100 to .149.  Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Deskjet 3050 wireless works then doesn't

    My Deskjet 3050 wireless problem cycle  includes 1) light blinking 2) after I re-set up the wireless...it works 3) day later, when I try to print HP message says unable to communicate w/ printer BUT wireless light is SOLID and Network Config page show it is properly connected via ip address is connected via ip address. Even though properly connected, the 2nd page of the network config printout shows it doesn't discover my current wireless network. 
    I've tried to re-set up wireless printing (HP printer set-up utility that came with the software) and the network diagnostic utility, but this cycle always repeats itself. 
    Maybe a router problem. I'm on win 7 and using a cisco E2000 router. 
    Can anyone assist?
    Thanks

  • 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.

    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 can't use the function wifi in my HP Deskjet 3050 with Mountain Lion (0SX 10.8.1).

    The driver allows only the USB conection. There is no disponibility of this driver in HP site or in Apple site.

    Hi,
    For the Deskjet 3050 (J610) a full software not available at this time.
    As there is no full software available for Mountain Lion you will need to set a temporary ad-hoc connection and then use the printer EWS to connect the printer to your router.
    Press the wireless button on the control panel to show the wireless menu options on the printer display.
    Select Wireless Settings on the printer display and then select Restore Netowrk Defaults.
    Under the same Wireless and select Wireless Radio and make sure to set it as On.
    From your Mac click the WiFi icon and then click Join Other Network.
    Click Show Networks, select the printer SSID, it will include 3050 or J610 within its name, then click Join.
    Allow 2-3 minutes to establish the connection.
    Open Safari and click the Bookmarks icon ().
    Click Bonjour and then click the printer name, the EWS page will appear.
    Enter the Networking tab.
    Under Wireless (802.11) click Wireless Setup Wizard and then click Start Wizard and follow the steps listed on the screen to configure the wireless connection.
    Note: If you required to provide the Security type for your wireless network, you may click the WiFi icon, click Network Preferences and select the Wi-Fi  network. Click Advanced and you will find the security type of your network within the Wi-Fi tab.
    Once the Wireless Setup Wizard via the EWS completes, click the Wi-Fi icon of your Mac and connect to your router again.
    Finally, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and add the printer. confirm any prompt to get the drivers from Apple's servers.

  • HELP WITH HP DESKJET 3050 PRINTER WIFI!!!!

    Hi 
    We have a hp deskjet 3050 but we can't print. The blue light for wireless is flashing on and off.
    Can anyone help? 

    OK, this is a router issue, not a printer issue.  Let's try WPS again (no USB cable connected).
    - Unplug the Internet line that runs between the router and the wall
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Now start WPS on the printer then the router (within 2 minutes of each other).  It should connect.
    - Finally, plug in the Internet line, reboot the router.
    Now, run the software on your computer and it should find the printer.

  • 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.

    All printing with colors screwed up. no error messages. print and scan doctor says all ok. Cannot open software, check ink levels, alignment - nothing, yet it prints (black), scans and copies just fine.

    Hello there @glenn763 ,
    I read about the print quality issues you are facing with your Deskjet 3050, as the colors are not printing out for you.
    I would like to suggest that you use this article to troubleshoot the problem: Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) All-in-One Printer Series
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

  • 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.
