HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-one printer J611 series - mavericks and wireless set up

Hi
I have a HP Deskjet 3040A All-in-one printer J611, I have had this printer for about 2years and everything worked perfect then I bought an Apple still all was alright but when I updated my software I got Mavericks and ever since then everything went wrong....I have updated my computer and have AirPrint now and also HP ePrint(currently). How ever the printer was not working or connecting.
Problem 1:
When I tried to fix the problem I uninstalled all HP drivers to reinstall - found that you have to install the apple app Done!(Airprint)
The printer was picked up by the computer and I can scan but I can not print, I'm using the USB cable, and when I print the computer shows it is printing and the printers lights come on but nothing happens(no messages display on the printer) then the computer shows the print is done - but the printer didn't print. Scan is working fine.
Problem 2:
Because of constant problems with the wireless connection I wanted to reconnect it to the router - Restore default.
But now because I don't have the HP drivers, I have no idea how to connect it and I tried both connection ways WPS is not working when I press it on the route...nothing happens and the PIN, where are you suppose to enter the pin, nothing comes up on my computer (USB connected) 
I have read the installation pages over and over but can't figure out what is wrong, any advice would be appreciated. 
This question was solved.

Hi Lilly4,
I can certainly help you get the printer on the network and working again.
Follow the steps in this thread to put the printer on the network without using the software or the WPS button. I believe  we have success doing it this way.  
If you continue to experience an issue after the printer is on the network, please let me know. Thanks.
Hope this helps.

  • The HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer I just bought is not compatible with my Mac Book Pro.  What do I need to do?

    I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer and it is not compatible with the version of the operating system on my mac book pro.  I am currently running on OS X 10.4.11 and the printer is compatible with v10.5 or higher.  What can I do to update the operating system on my Mac Book Pro? 

    10.5 will be harder to find & more expensive, I think I'd go for 10.6
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Apple no longer has it for sale.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

  • Deskjet 3050A all-in-one J611 series will not allow printing from desktop with windows 8

    Hello, I am trying to set up my fiances desktop to my HP DESKJET 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 series. It says it only supports other windows, windows 8 not being one of them. Both are wireless and I figured there has to be a way to download some software that I could install in order to hookup this computer. Please any help I could get would be appreciated.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One J611 Series - getting exact driver to download

    I need to download a driver for my (per printer label) "HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One J611 Series" -- but at hp.com, see listed only J611-Series models with postfixed abc letters "a" to "k" ... and one w/o a postfixed abc letter, but that lacks "J611" in its model name.
    Also, my printer label does not prefix "e-" to the printer name.
    Would the driver for  "J611-a" work with my printer?
    Or the driver for "HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One" that lacks "J611"?
    Thank you.

    Hi @josedemelo , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing print issues. I would like to help.
    Are you able to make a copy without issue?
    Are you connected via a USB cable or a wireless connection?
    I would recommend performing a power reset on your printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Deskjet 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 series ---- mac filtering problem

    i have a HP Deskjet 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 and i cannot get my printer to connect wireless. Everytime I try to connect it it always tells me an error. The error says:
    Issue: MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router.
    Solution: If MAC address filtering is enabled on your router you should disable it.
    The thing is i checked my router to make sure the MAC filtering was not enabled and it wasn't. So why does my printer keep telling me this? if i can get passed this problem i think it would connect. The MAC address is already stored in the router.

  • How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode

    How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode?  I have read some of the "solutions," but they don't make any sense to me.  I need simple instructions.  Thanks!

    Hi there!
    Try these steps that I have posted below. This will change the settings for all print jobs, so you will need to go back in to these settings if you wish to change the quality back to normal, best, etc.
    Source
    Once you are in the Printing Preferences window, you will see a Paper/Quality tab, click on it and you can change the Quality to Draft here.
    That should work for you! Let me know if this helps

  • HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer driver not installing after upgrading to Windows 7

    I have a HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer. I was working fine in Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Once I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit the driver is failing to install.
    I have tried all the solutions provided on the HP website but none of them worked.
    I also wrote a mail to HP support but they replied that its out of warranty hence they will not be able to help.
    If some genius can help me I will pray for him/her that all his/her wishes come true.
    Thanks you in advance.
    Imroz Baig

    I just got my HP Deskjet F2120 working in Windows 7.  Here's how:
    Insert the setup disk in your CD/DVD drive.  Choose to view the files in Explorer.  Scroll down to the file "Setup," which is identified as an application.
    Right-click the file and select "Properties." Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the resulting window.
    Check off "Run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose "Windows Vista" from the pop-up menu.
    ALSO check "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom of the window.
    Press "Apply," then "OK."
    Now you can double-click the "Setup" file and run the software installer.
    It will 100% work inshallah...

  • After upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 My HP Deskjet F4580 all in one printer no longer scans. How can we fix it?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks, but now my HP Deskjet F4580 All in one printer will not scan any documents either as PDF or as JPG, how can we fix this?

    I have simialr problems, after i scanned the ducuments or pictures, i can save it for only once, but the file is just black pictures with many lines through them. When i try to save it again, then it says ''An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to.  Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.', which then doesn't allow me to do anything of saving the file or even just to print it out.

    Brian

    I am sorry to hear that you are having that issue with the printer. If the printer is under a year old from the date of purchase, please call into HP Total care. The printer comes with a factory warranty that gives the owner free tech support on the product. Paper jams are a hardware issue. If all troubleshooting steps are done on the phone with the agent and the product is still not working. That agent who is assisting you will be able to give further options on what can be done. The number for US and Canada customers is 800-474-6836. Customers in other countries can find contact information here. I hope that this helps.

    how do i setup my hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer for wireless printing my operating system is windows7

    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.
