HP Deskjet 3050 J610a - static IP address

How can I assign a static IP address to the above printer? There is no option on the printer control panel to do this as far as I can see. It seems the only possibility is to allow the printer to grab whatever IP address it believes is appropriate - usually a DHCP one. In my case this is inappropriate since I want to assign a specific fixed IP address.

Well after two automated responses telling me what I already knew and failing to answer any of the questions I was starting to lose my patience.
I asked that they change their web site which clearly states that the Deskjet 3050 is supported, apparently only the 3050e is supported. So say 3050e then not 3050!!!
This is the response I eventually received:
Thank you for getting back to us.
I understand from your email that you have HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer - J610a you are not able to find the Printer code to set your HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer - J610a on eprint or enable Web Services. I see that the printer is listed as an ePrint and AirPrint enabled device yet none of the support articles refer to the Deskjet series.
Marc, I am glad to assist you with your issue and concern. I request you to please let us know the website name or provide us the website link where in it states that HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer - J610a is an ePrint and AirPrint enabled device so that we can correct this immediately and avoid any further confusion.

Deskjet 3050 J610a Wireless issues

I'm trying to set up my Deskjet 3050 J610a to use over my wireless network, the printer sets it self up on the network and connects fine to the router, but is unavailable when i use the wireless network setup tool.
Router: Linksys Wag160n
Auth: WPA-PSK AEK or TKIP
Signal Quality is Max
IP assigned to Printer 192.168.1.111 Per my DHCP
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
latest drivers & network diag tools etc
The Printer Network Config page reports all is fine
I can see the printer connected to my router but can't access it via any of the HP software.
McAfee Security Centre (AV&Firewall) were on during Printer install but I've tried disabling them but still no luck.
Any Help??

Did you use this: Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

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 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?

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.

Deskjet 3050 j610a - New router; no longer can print wireless.

Hi all. Am 66 & new to computers and forums. I'll try to be brief, but I want to describe my problem as accurately as possible. I have a Toshiba C655 Satellite laptop, HP3050 j610a wireless printer, Windows 7 – 32bit OS and Google Chrome is my browser. For the past 2 years I've had no problem printing wireless with my Westell 7500 router. Then my ISP (Verizon) gave me a D-Link 2750B. My laptop connects with the internet over my wireless network fine now, but printing is only possible via USB.
The error message reads: “Your printer failed to join the wireless network – Mac address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router”. (I checked & it is not). I then printed a Wireless Network Test Report and the header reads: “Your HP printer cannot find your access point. Check that your access point is powered on. Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your access point network name (SSID) exactly. If they don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer”. In addition, under Diagnostics Summary it reads: “Network Name (SSID) Found = FAIL”.
What I've attempted so far: Uninstall & reinstall all HP software (Via hp website), power cycle router & printer, hard reset printer to factory settings, looked inside router & all seems OK. I did a Google search of this problem and got more confusing and complicated explanations than I was looking for...all the way down to subnet masks; whatever that is. I'm at the point now (and please correct me if I'm on the wrong path) I feel I should be trying to manually put the network info into the printer or obtain a printer IP; neither of which I know how to do. Is there a way to look inside my printer settings the same as I look inside my router settings...and how?
I feel this has gotten way more complicated than necessary and I am probably overlooking the obvious here. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but please reply to me as if I were in the 3rd grade ! (Although a 3rd grader would probably have figured this out already) !
Thanks,
Larry

OK,PrintDoc, I followed your instructions to the letter....although I had gone there many times before. If you want, I can list each and every step, but to summarize: Message says, 'software installed successfully", I allowed Network Setup to retrieve my wireless settings (by the way my security is WPA2[AES] ) then the green 'loading' bar for 'setting up printer on network'.
THIS is the where I get to the point at which I get the error message: "Your printer failed to join the wireless network". (Tried both letting the program retrieve the settings, as well as entering them manually).
I did, however, notice one thing different this time: Where the icon of my laptop showed under devices, this time there was an '!' enclosed in a triangle, indicating some problem. I opened it up and ran the Troubleshooter, and received the following messages: "Device driver software was not successfully installed, *No driver found, Problem not fixed". I remember seeing this once before in my numerous attempts to get my printer on the network.
However, a previous message said the software WAS, in fact, installed successfully....and when I took a look at my installed programs, it sure looked like it was.
Once again, a big 'thank you'.

Hp deskjet 3050 J611 eprint email address

Hi. I have the Galaxy 4S, and am trying to find an app to allow me to print notes, lists etc using the voice to text feature. I already have the deskjet all in one (3050A J611) which works on my computers and used to work fine on my old iphone. However, in trying to set up the HP eprint app, it wants my "hp eprint email address of the printer, ie: [email protected]" I can't find such an address ANYWHERE. I have printed test pages from the printer, my Windows printer, etc, etc, but cannot find anything that is anywhere near to this. PLEASE help! I need to be able to print notes and lists asap. Thank you.

On the front panel of the printer, there is a button that says ePrint. You will have to enable that or view your current ePrint email after you press that. Let me know if you have any problems finding that. I can help guide you through www.eprintcenter.com in regards to setup.
Start with page 15 of the user guide for pictures and better descriptions.

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.

How to set a static IP address for deskjet 6940dt

I have two HP laptops, both have WIN7, that keep losing the IP address for my 6940dt printer, each time power goes out to router. I have an desktop PC connected to a NetGear router and RCA modem connected to Comcast cable internet. I also have another desktop that connects wirelessly through the router....but this desktop never loses the printer IP address and I can't figure out why it doesn't and my laptops do.
I have had a fellow at the senior center computer club tell me that I need to set a Static IP address to make the laptops connect . I don't know how to do this and I would need someone to explain it in a language that I can understand, like real basic. I have searched the internet but the things I have found have been very complicated to understand.
Can anyone help me?

Ooops, sorry, I forgot that yours is a wired-only network printer.
You are on the right track - just go to where you were and follow my directions - it all works the same with wired as it does wireless.

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.

HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES?
The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low.
Here is a link that will provide you with steps that will get the issue resolved. In this document you will have different Operating Systems. (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Software.

Yes, the link is down.
See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue.
If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers.
If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.

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,

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

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.

How come my Deskjet 3050 wont print wirelessly?

Alright so here's the problem.
First of all I just bought a Deskjet 3050 All-In-One J610 Series printer on ebay. It came today and I tried to set it up wirelessly and through the USB. It works fine with the the laptop (we use it as a home computer) its a Windows Vista 64-bit.
Now everytime when the printer is not connected to our router, it shows up on the little connect to wireless networks on this computer, my netbook, and my Ipod Touch. But whenever i connect it to the router via WPS and via PIN number, it doesnt show it up on anywhere. I tried to do the setup on screen instructions CD but it says that it is connected but its not showing up or something and it says that I have to connect with the printer's IP address. And it said something about a warning saying that if you connect it like this, then if the ip address changes i would have to do a bunch of crap that i dont feel like doing.
Is there any possible way that i can fix this???? i would love to print stuff from my netbook.

Hello lake5pilot
If you have not already please try the following article. It should help with the issue. Especially the part in the guide where you set a static IP on the printer. Even upon reconnecting it should stay the same. I hope it works well for you.
