HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series usb wired use

All I want it to do is connect by USB. I do not want to use wireless.

Hello @6106310,
I would like to assist you today with installing your HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One Printer for a USB Cable connection on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Now just so you are aware, due to the age of your printer HP has not released a downloadable Full Feature Software and Driver package for your printer on the Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. There hasn't been a Full Feature Driver package available since Mac OS X 10.8. Therefore, we are relying solely on your Apple Updates to install the HP Driver V3.0 package for your machine. I am going to walk you through some steps below to manually load the driver package and ensure it is correctly installed to resolve this issue. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Step 1: Reset the Print System:
To start, I am going to have you Reset the Print System on your Mac. Please click here for instructions on how to perform the Reset. When the website opens follow the steps under 'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion' as the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. This Reset will remove every printer from your Mac. However, it does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, should you use other printers on this Mac, once the Reset is complete simply ensure that the printers are connected via a USB Cable or Network connected and (+) Add them back in. Do not add your HP Deskjet back in at this time.
Once the reset is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Manually install Driver Package:
Please click here to manually download the Apple Update package for HP Printer Drivers v3.0. Once the website opens select the Download button at the top. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the driver package.
Step 4: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 5: Add the Device:
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
3. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer.
4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer,
5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that the Deskjet driver is selected.
6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.
- Source
Now that your HP Deskjet is successfully installed please test printing through the USB Cable connection.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

Need driver for hp Deskjet 3050A J611 series on a pre-Intel Imac

Looking for a printer driver for a HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series printer for use on a Pre Intel IMac

Newer drivers for older hardware runs into trouble. Had that problem with HP
over several systems and models of Mac. Sometimes if the printer and OS X
isn't too obsolete, drivers could be tried in one printer intended for a similar one.
The original installer CD for printer software drivers and extras is always a good
thing to keep, so long as there is a printer or a computer on-hand that may use it.
it's a matter of communication
Recent upgrade with newer computer & OS X, has me looking at printer drivers
and a suggested download from Epson of 1.3GB was not really adequate nor
was it necessary; but some 'expert' at Geek guys showed me a web site on his
Smart phone. The real problem was a USB cable to an AIO printer. The other
older printer could not use the 'correct driver' for the newer OS X, in same D/L.
Planned obsolescence is such a joy. Even when a product is almost bulletproof,
someone wants to sell something else. 'Profit-driven' tends to waste resources.
Cheap hardware & costly consumables. Wait til they charge us for good Air...!

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 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.

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

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.

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
Hope this helps,

How do you input an ip address on a deskjet 3050a j611 series. it was working fine

I have an deskjet 3050A all in one series J611. It has been working great. I had printed some documents earlier with no problem. No it is saying can not connect due to not being able to connect to wireless router.

The first round of troubleshooting would probably be to reset the whole network.
1. pull the power from the back of the printer and from the wall
2. shut down computer
3. reset the router by unplugging it for 30 sec
4. wait until all the lights on the router are back on
5. turn on the computer and let it get connected to the router
6. reconnect the printer--it should power up on its own
This routine usually fixes a lot of issues. Let me know if it works or doesn't.

My HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series wont print, says its printing on the screen, but does nothing.

it has nothing to do with the connection, because even if i try to print a test page from the printer itself (not using my laptop) it still wont print. it says "printing" on the screen, but does nothing. and the green light on the power button blinks the whole time... please please help, its super frustrating, ive un-installed, re-installed, plugged it in, un plugged it, plugged the usb cord in before i realized it wasnt a connection problem, taken the ink out.. i dont know what else to do... again, its not a connection problem.. i tried to go into the settings on the printer itself and clicked printer status or something liek that and it attempted to print out a report, but nothing prints... again, the screen says "printing . . . " but nothing happens and it will continue to say "printing . . . " w/ the moving dots for hours... what could this be?? ive searched online and cant find anything that sounds liek this.. seems like everyone has connection probelms... but i need help!

This sounds like it may be a firmware problem. The first thing to do is check to see if there are any available firmware update. I'll include a link to those instructions below. Next, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the printer into a surge protector, power strip, or power backup can cause it to become under powered resulting in strange problems like this one. If the firmware is up to date and plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet doesn't help, follow the steps in the document below. If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the printer. Hope this helps.

Connectivity HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series

Hello, I bought this printer 3 months ago. It was printing and scanning perfectly both with Ehternet connection and wireless, with Windows Vista and Mac OS.X 10.5. I left for 45 days, when back I cannot print in wireless, but only in ethernet , and the scanner, in ethernet, scans half page. The blue light of connection is blinking slow; both my computers work well in wireless. When I send something to print it says "printer not connected". What I did: I moved the printer to another place of the room, close to the computer which catches wifi. Still blinking light and printer does not work. On my Mac, I deleted the printer from the printer list, (System preferences etc), now I have re-installed it and, when I launch the Print, the print windows says <Network host "is busy; will retry in xxx seconds> and the blue light is still blinking slow. But then it does not print!! The printer still works with cable, but I would like to use wifi. Also the scanner scans half page and this is a problem I could not solve either. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

It sounds like a weak wifi connection to the printer. Change your router channel to 1 or 11 and try again. If that does not work, move the printer and/or router to be closer together or through fewer walls.
On your Mac, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Okay, the printer will not connect either through the USB or wireless. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it will print once and then never again. Therefore, there is not a problem with the connectivity, so I can only assume it is something with the printer going to sleep. At this point, I have invested over 10 hours to print a total of 7 documents... it is a bit ridiculous.

What operating system? When you try to print, what error messages does it give?
When installed via wireless, 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...

There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll

The module could not be found.
I am running windows 7 64bit
Uninstalled a printer. Now my computer is complaining that the file is no longer there. It is trying to detect this at startup every time I turn on my computer. How do I get my computer to stop looking for this at startup?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

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

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!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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.
