How do I connect my HP Deskjet 3050 to my portable hotspot on my cell phone?

I know how to use my hotspot on my cell phone as well as know what the password is to connect to other devices, however, I cannot figure out how to change the password on my HP Deskjet 3050 so it uses that to connect and allow me to print and scan. There is no WPS button to press and hold on my cell phone like a router so it finds it so I need to manually change to password so it looks for my cell phone to connect. Thanks!

Hi,
It supports wirless therefore you can connect it to your home network and print wirelessly. The following manual may help:

I am connected to a computer but would also like to connect it to my laptop wirelessly.

Hi @5468,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to connect your HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer - J410a to a wireless connection. I am happy to look into this for you!
According to your printer's specifications and the Setup Poster, this printer can only be connected to a computer via a USB 2.0 printer cable connection. This printer does not have wireless capabilities.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

HT2497 How can I connect my MacBook Pro using my personal cellular 'hotspot'?

I am a brandnew user of MacBook Pro (iOS 10.8 Mountain Lion) and am clueless!! I've never used anything but Windows OS's. I am attempting to connect to the internet using my cellular phone's 'hotspot'....no connection. I then tried to connect via tethering, using the USB cable between the phone & the Mac....still not connection. The phone "sees" the Mac, but the Mac is not "seeing" the phone. Is there something in the computer's settings I need to change?? Thanks for any & all input!!

Plug it in. Choose the right HDMI port for the input in the TV's menu system (cosult the TV's manual as needed). Choose the TV as the audio output device in the Output tab of the Sound pane of System Preferences. You should be all set.

How do i connect my windows vista laptop to iPhone personal hotspot? Will it still work if my laptop doesnt have iTunes installed?

I am currently using iPhone 4 and windows vista laptop. i cant seem to get my windows vista laptop to connect to the personal hotspot on my iPhone using USB. Is it because iTunes is not installed in my windows vista laptop?
I have tried it on a MacBook Pro and it works perfectly fine.

when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

Unplug the USB cable. Now go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Deskjet 3050 > Add a Device. Run the program and choose Wireless as the installation type.
Follow the directions. It will ask you to connect a USB cable temporarily. Do not connect until it asks and remove it when it tells you.
Finally, when you are done, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the USB instance of the printer so you don't get confused when printing.

HP client security preventing connection to cell phone hotspot

VERY unfortunately, I got sick of this always asking me for stuff, so I finally setup the HP Client Security. I am EXTREMELY upset that now I can't access my personal hotspot on my cell phone that I need on a daily basis for my business! Startup is also EXTREMELY SLOW!
Should I disable or uninstall it?
Thank you.

There is not enough info to know what phone is doing the hotspot and did you contact your cell phone provider in how to setup the hotspot??

Deskjet 3050 wireless connection trauma

Hi, my Deskjet 3050 has stopped working over the wireless network and I'm stumped. It was working fine, but has now stopped. My laptop is connected to the home router (BT) and the printer is also connected to the same router (according to the router config page), but I can't connect to print. I've gone back to the beginning and re-installed the printer and all drivers and software, I can print with a USB, I can transfer wireless config details via USB, but I still can't print wirelessly. Help?

Hi PG-PG,
I understand that you are having a problem with getting the printer working on your wireless network. I will try my best to help you resolve this. I suggest power cycling your network.
How to power cycle network
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4.Turn off the computer.
5.Wait 30 seconds.
6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
8.Turn the computer back on.
9.Wait for the computer to reload.
10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
11.Turn the printer back on.
If this does not resolve the issue then I suggest setting a Static IP Address. In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection has steps for setting that up.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,

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 J610a - Unexpected wireless connection problem.

Running:
MacOSX 10.7.4
HP Software: HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.17
Printer: Deskjet 3050 J610a had been working perfectly through wireless connection from a
MacBook5,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, while I had been using HP Software HP_Installer_DJF4100_v9.7.1, that was *not* meant for this printer, but I could 'ADD" the printer Deskjet 3050 via System Preferences, through HP Socket,
Looking [unwisely] for a more "functional" configuration, I looked up HP support and found that a specific software had been released for computers running "Lion".
So I uninstalled the previous DJF4100 software, restarted the computer, and installed the new software and drivers for Lion as indicated above.
Now the printer Deskjet 3050 J610a shows up in the computer's network under 'Devices" as
"HPJ610a.047DED", Network Type:Computer-to-Computer. It is also detected with "
Security:None", whereas my whole home Wi-Fi network is encrypted with WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I could of course regress to the previous software and configuration, but before doing that I would like to understand why this new software that has been released by HP for Mac computers running Lion is behaving in such a way, why the printer shows as a stand alone device (which it never did before).
As I said, before I regress to the previous configuration, using a software that originally is not the one required by the printer, neither by the computer's operating system, I welcome all information and suggestions.
I need that wireless connection!
Thanks in advance.

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.
