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.

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed

    My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed. (Rather, I should say
    it 'connects', then immediately disconnects.) When I had regular DSL, there was no problem, but since UVerse installation,
    I can connect ONLY with the ethernet cable.
    Thinking it was my 'old' computer, I took it to the local computer place---they were able to connect instantly (wirelessly) AND maintain connection. Sooo...I've told this to ATT, & had 2 different techs out here, both of whom were very patient & tried EVERYTHING they could think of,  & both of whom failed to fix the problem. They maintain that it is NOT the fault of the modem/router, but is some 'miscommunication' between my laptop & the modem/router.
    Is that possible? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop? If it worked BEFORE UVerse, and if it STILL works at the Computer store, and if it works WITH the cable, why won't it connect wirelessly?
    Thank you SO much for any thoughts!

    It is possible. While it's not common, sometimes you could have a working router and a working wireless card in a laptop, but they just don't communicate. It sounds like that might be the problem unfortunately.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A, Vista 32-bit, will not connect via usb to my PC!!!

    I used to have this all in one connected to my pc, until I was experiencing a few printing issues, so I decided to uninstall it!  When I tried to reinstall it, the pc will not connect it.  I have tried different ports and have replaced the cable, also downloaded the latest software and drivers all to  no avail.  I can connect wirelessly to my laptop, but unfortunately this isn't a solution for my desktop as it's not wireless, therefore it has to be connected via usb.  At my wits end, please help me!!!!!
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can you try inserting a flash drive into one of the USB ports in the printer, to make sure it reads it?
    The port on the printer might be what's giving you the issue. Also, can you try connecting the printer USB to a different PC?
    Let me know the outcome.

  • HT1695 My iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wireless connection.  My ipad works fine.  Now the forget this network and renew lease buttons are gone.  I have several things.  Now it won't even sync to iTunes.  Do I need to go to the apple store?

    Phone will not connect to wireless.  It's been giving me no service this week too.  The apple store is 45 minutes away and I really don't want to go.  Do I need to go there?

    Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

  • Sometimes car will not connect via bluetooth unless I go into settings app

    I've updated my Iphone 4 to IOS5.  I've paired the phone with my car (Infinity) and it usually works.  But sometimes it does not connect.  I've notice that in those cases I can get my phone to connect immediately by going into the settings app on my iphone.  I just have to enter the settings app, I don't have to change anything, I don't even have to go into general settings where bluetooth is.  I just have to enter the settings app and the car will connect to my iphone via bluetooth immediately every time.  has anyone run into this?

    Just checking again to see if anyone has run into the problem I described above and may have an answer.  It is really annonying.

  • 6822 and PC Suite 6.84 Will not connect via Blueto...

    I have just downloaded PC Suite to connect to my Nokia 6822, having reloaded the O/S on my laptop.
    Phone 6822
    O/S Windows XP Pro SP2
    PC Suite 6.84.10.3
    Bluetooth Stack WIDCOMM 3.0.1.905
    The phone shows as being paired (padlock symbol) but still requires pairing. Put in a new passkey and verify ut on the phone, the phone connects but the connection wizard does not move on, it locks up.
    Cannot get pcsuite to connect top the phone at all
    Help

    I really could not get more frustrated with Nokia than I am at the moment.
    Firstly I have been trying to login and/or register a new account so I can post here for almost 24 hours. The web site returning 404-not found or simply a blank page not only from my computers at home but a couple at work too.
    This really is not good enough. There isn't even a contact point for the webmaster that I could find to warn of these failures.
    Back to the plot. . .
    I have paired with WIDCOMM on both the version of PC Suite that came with the phone (a 6822) and the latest download-able version doing complete uninstalls between of all Nokia components using uninstall and add/remove programs.
    Both version ask me to pair with the phone (the later one asks me to pair even though it shows the phone with the padlock symbol next to it in the list, indicating it is already paired). The phone connects and then within seconds disconnects.
    Connection via infrared works fine but this is not what I want to do for many reasons.

  • My 2010 MacBook A1342 will not connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5S

However I just purchased my son a 2010 white MacBook A1342 via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5s in order to use the Internet, I received a message on my phone that says "MacBook not supported".
    I am able to pair other Bluetooth devices to this same MacBook and I know that I can connect via Wi-Fi but I would like to know why this is not working.
    Thanks!

    And I am also trying to connect it to my iPhone 5s via Bluetooth***

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Jetpack 4G MHS will not connect to Kodak Hero wirelessly

    I have tried to conned my Kodak Hero with wifi to my Jetpack using the Search option on Kodak and entering string.  Jetpack does not connect but printer says it is found but not connected.  I also tired WRS to no avail.
    I connected the prineter to a CLEAR device at another home no problem.  Is there some settings on the Jetpack that have to change to get the Kodak Hero to connect.  I also have a Kodak EPS7250 that also has same issue.  I am at my wits end.  I am fairly good at computers so this is weird.
    Should I change a Jet pack setting or what.  Please any help would be super.

    As we have learned from other threads, the 890L cannot change its IP address.  That means that any device that connects to it must have an IP address of 192.168.1.x.  From the info you posted your Kodak printer is definitly not on the correct network because it is reporting a 192.168.15.x IP address.
    My first suggestion would be to try re-entering your wireless password and network name (SSID) into the wireless printer.  There should be some kind of wireless setup wizard on your printer that will allow you to do this.  Some printers are extra picky and like to know the encryption type when you setup a wireless connection.  Your choices are either AES or TKIP, so try them both out and see if you can establish the connection.
    If you are absolutely sure you have entered the correct wireless password into the printer then the next step would be to try changing the Network Mode from BGN down to BG.  From there you could also experiment with the password type such as lowering it from WPA2 down to WPA or WEP.
