How can I setup a Deskjet 3050a/J611 to my Chromebox?

HP Deskjet 3050a-J611.
- Setup the printer, and once on, it printed the alignment page.
- Went through the menu on the printer, but it has no option to print the "information sheet." All I could get it to print is the configuration sheet, which has no email listed.
- Went to setup the eprinter in Google Chrome browser settings, but it just links me to the HP site.
- No instructions on how to use this printer with a Chromebox/Chromebook in the manual. HP offers Linux drivers, but never on their CDs, but the Chromebox doesn't do CDs, of course. And wow, is that print is really small to my 50-year old eyes. 
- Says it is connected wirelessly and the printout confirms that, although I also have the USB cord connected to the Chromebox.
- Google offers no support, just pushes me to the HP website, which asked me to sign in using my "new eprint email."
What do? Thanks!

The issue is that this printer is set up via USB, or something called auto wireless. The autowireless configuration requires a windows or mac computer to connect.
The alternative is the WPS setup method, if your router supports it you go to the wireless menu on the printer, there should be a WPS option, and then when you have pressed ok on that push thr button on the router. This will link the two devices together, and the printer will have a full connnection.
There is another alternative but it can be hit or miss.
In the wireless menu of the printer there should be an option to restore the defaults, select that.
Next on your chromebox if you look at the available networks you should see a network for your printer, likely labelled something like HP-print-3050a, connect to that.
In your web browsers adress bar type in 192.168.223.1 - it should load up a webpage for the printer.
In there you should be abl to go to network at the top, then wireless on the left, then there should be a wireless wizard to put in your home network name and password.
After this you should be able to get the info page by enabling web services, and then use google cloud print for printing from the chrome box.

  • How can I setup a Deskjet 3050a/J611 to my updated MAC OSX 10.9

    SInce updating my MAC with OSX 10.9 (Maverick) I have not been able to add my printer to my computer as wireless.  I can add by USB cable but I am not being given the option to "convert a USB connected printer to Wireless".  I can print when connected by USB but all wireless capability are inoperative.  I have seen other discussions pointing to Jon-W steps but that process did not work for me.
    I have used the WPS method and the HP screen confirms that I am connected to my wireless network but my MAC does not discover my deskjet under Pinters an Scanners via wireless (only via USB plugged in).
    Becoming very frustrated with this HP Deskjet.

    Hello ljsantana
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Mac over wireless.
    Please click the following link for installation instructions:   OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.

  • HP Deskjet 3050a J611 - Status: Offline on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

    Hello, 
    I have installed my HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series printer on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with a 2.2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor today. I have connected the printer wirelessly to the network I use at home. Connection strength is very good as I checked on the printer display. Installation is complete, however, when I go to print a document wirelessly, the printer says, "Offline" and will not print the job. I can not figure out how to turn it online. Any help?
    Thanks,
    Shawn Pfeuffer

  • HP Deskjet 3050A J611 Series

    I am trying to use my printer all in one HP Deskjet 3050A J611 Series from a MS Surface 2. Could you help me know how can I do that?

    Hi atpr, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are trying to use your  HP Deskjet 3050A J611 on a Microsoft Surface 2 tablet.
    If it is a Windows RT tablet, it is pretty much plug and play. If you have Windows 8 or 8.1 (non-RT) then it is installed via the software install package. The instructions are in this document: Install the Printer Software in Windows RT or Windows 8 on a Tablet
    Let me know how it goes.

    Can any one help me, I need to download a driver for an HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series but cannot download from the HP site - very frustrated - any help would be welcome!

    Hi Teamtahoe,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry to hear about your frustration. I understand that you are trying to download a driver for your HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series printer, and I am happy to help you!
    This is the only place to download the drivers. HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One Printer - J611g Drivers, if you are using Windows 7 or above you can also use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. Depending on the Operating System you are using, you also have the option of ordering a physical CD.
    If you do not know what Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
    If you cannot download, I would also try with a different web browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome, etc. Otherwise you may want to contact your Internet Service Provider.
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a nice day!

  • Accessing printer software for HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series with Windows 7

    There is currently a problem with the HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series software on my computer.  It used to be when I clicked on my desktop icon (or launched this program from my start menu) I would see a list of option such as check ink levels, scan a picture, search for help, and so forth.  Now the screen shows only this:
    http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w82/RedComet01/HPscreen.jpg
    Clicking on HP Printer Assistant does nothing.
    My computer is a Dell Inspiron 620 with a Widows 7 Home Premium (64 bit, service pack 1) operating system.
    Does anyone know what might be a solution to my problem?

    Installing the latest full software package from HP should fix the problem of the buttons disappearing. These printers use the same basic software, and what I said is true for both. HP fixed the problem in version 28.8 of the software. I'll link it below for the 5514 and the 3050A.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series - error message -Bad image windows\system 32\d3d 10 warp.dll

    I use the HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series printer with my laptop and a desktop PC.  It works fine with the laptop but when I installed the software onto the desktop the window error message Bad Image Windows\ System 32\d3d 10 warp.dll kept popping up every few minutesd.  By a process of ilimination I discovered that it was the Photo Creations that was causing the problems, when I removed it all was good and I was able to use the printer.  The only problems is that I now cannot print photos from my pc.  I have windows 7.
    Can anyone help please?

    Hi Chris.
    That error message comes from Direct3D, which is part of the DirectX software in Windows. It appears that part of the DirectX environment on your computer is corrupt. Microsoft provides a diagnostic tool that should help you sort this out. Please see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/run-directx-diagnostic-tool
    If that does not solve the issue, you may want to reinstall the device driver for your graphics adapter.
    When all's running smoothly, you can reinstall HP Photo Creations to print again. Our customer support team would be happy to help with the reinstallation. You can reach them at www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/support-form.html

    How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
    Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device.  I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail.  Thanks for your help.

    Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other

    Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife.  Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account.  How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device?  Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

    Hello dal1820
    Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

    how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
    I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

    One account each, or one account for all of you to share?
    Either way, follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Remember, if you share an iCloud account, you won't be able to maintain independent Contact lists, calendars, bookmarks etc. They will all be synced to all devices setup using the same account.
