HP Deskjet 3050A-J611a - laptop wireless - desktop wired possible to print from it?

I just bought the HP Deskjet 3050A-J611a and installed it wireless on my laptop. (printer is in another room) We also have a desktop computer (in my daughter her room) which is connected to the internet with a cable. I was wondering if it would be possible to also print from the desktop computer without having to use a wireless Wifi USB stick or something. (the modem is right next to the computer so preferably we would like to leave it wired)  Maybe there is a way to print using the modem as the connection? Thanks in advance

Hi Michelle150573,
You can share the printer from the laptop, but the most reliable way to install it on the desktop would be to infest in a wireless USB adapter, and then install it wirelessly to her computer. Wireless USB adapters run from $10 to $30 on newegg.com

  • Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN.

    Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN? My iPad is via WiFi connected to that LAN. The WiFi connection of the printer isn't used.

    My Canon MX715 printer is wired connected to the router. My iPad is via WiFi connected to the router.
    The printer could be connected via WiFi but I prefer the wired connection. So the printer is part of the LAN to which I get access with my iPad via a WiFi connection. A network scanner shows them all  connected into the LAN.
    My Windows Laptop also connected via WiFi to the same LAN finds the printer and works well every time.
    The iPad has troubles to find the printer.
    After a couples of hours by trial and error I found an app of Canon Easy PhotoPrint. After I installed the app I found my printer and could print. It worked for the apps at my iPad that have the print feature. After a while I discovered that the different apps at my iPad don't find the printer immediately every time when needed. After multiple trials it works again.
    So the big question that remains: Why doesn't it works always? Have I initialize something after start up or wake up the print access to the Lan?

  • I have a hp officejet 4500 wireless . How do I print from my 3GS iPhone ?

    I have a hp officejet 4500 wireless so how do I print from my 3GS iPhone?

    You can use Airprint Activator. It will see WiFi printers that are not Airprint capable. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS5.0.1 and a Canon WiFi printer that is not Airprint capable. The Airprint Activator works great. So, whenever I want to print from my iPhone, the PRINT function sees my Canon and I can use it.
    You install in on a Mac that is on your WiFi network. Make sure the Mac is connected to your network via WiFi and not via an ethernet connection. I think there's a Windows version of this floating around too which I don't have a URL.

  • Windows 7 and windows 8 desktop wired and 7510e printer connected to win 7 wireless

    I have a windows 7 64 bit HPavilion Elite 150f desktop set up wired with a 7510e photosmart printer connected to it wireless, now I  have purchased a windows 8 desktop HP envy 700-019 desktop.
    When I set up my new windows 8 desktop I  just plugged it into my wireless router/modem combo and it found my printer and I could just print from it, I did not download any software or drivers for my printer or set up a home group as I was not sure how to set it up but last night I tried to set up a homegroup,
    I used my wireless network key and entered it and pressed connect, then I entered the Homegroup password that was downloaded for me from Microsoft, but my windows 7 says homegroup and my windows 8 shows private network so I am not sure what I have done wrong, I chose to only share music and printers, can anyone tell me how to do this correctly as I am not sure that I have done it properly.
    On my windows 8 I can go to my printers web site by entering the static IP address that cloud support set up for me and it shows as connected but I do not want to enter any printer code as that is already set up on my windows 7, I can also scan to email on my windows 8 but I am not sure what if any security I have on my windows 8. The last time I had a homegroup set up I payed someone to do it for me so I did it by guess work more than anything, if someone can lead me through it step by step I would appreciate it.

    Hi @emma22 
    I would like to do my best to help, but please bear in mind the issue you are expressing is an inquiry for Microsoft not HP. I did find something I think will be most helpful, and I hope it resolves the issue, but if the issue persists, or you have additional questions, it might be best to reach out to the Microsoft community.
    Here is what I found; HomeGroup from start to finish.
    In the top right hand corner of the article, you can change it from WIndows 7 to Windows 8. I hope this helps.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 - connect to pc via USB, can I print from android tablet as well?

    Hi,
    I've just bought a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one printer.
    I have set it up via USB connection to my windows 7 pc, and it is printing fine.
    I also have an android tablet.  Can I also print from this whilst using the printer via USB on my pc.
    Any help on if this is possible and what steps I need to do if it is would be appreciated (I have been reaeding the help section on the website but I am just getting more confused).
     Lesley

    Hi @Lesley54R,
    You don’t need to have the printer listed with the two different connections unless you’ll be switching back and forth from being connected by USB cable and wireless.  You can delete the one you don't think you'll be using.
    To print the web page, please use the browser found within the app. I’ve included the ePrint Mobile App FAQs document for your reference.
    In addition I’ve also included the ePrint Product Specifications document. This document has the list of supported email programs, file types and print limitations.
    Hope this helps!

  • HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

    My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one.  It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer.  Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held."  I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
    It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into print issues.  I would like to help with that!
    What version of mac are you using?
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • I'm able to print from my laptop so why can't I print from my iPad

    I have a third generation time capsule and my printer is attached via a USB my lap top will connect but my iPad will not

    The iPad uses a different operating system that requires a printer to be AirPrint compatible.
    It is very likely that your printer is not compatible if it is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule, since AirPrint works over wireless only....not USB.
    You might be able to get the iPad to print by using a workaround and installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
    There is no guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try if printing from the iPad is important to you.

  • HT4528 is it possible to print from an i-phone or iPad to a printer that is not Airprint enabled?  We have hp officejet 6310 hardwired to wireless router talking to ipad/iphone.

    How do we print from our iphone or ipad?  Printer is not listed as airprint enabled.  HP officejet 6310 hardwired to wireless router that talks to the apples.

    I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-airprint printers. If you look at their FAQs, you will find information on a trial basis to see if it works for you.

  • Wireless and Wired Network/Bonjour Printer Settings.

    I am setting up a network for a preschool that has six Macs (MacBook, iMac Intel, Mac Mini Intel, eMac G4, iMac G5) on a network spread out around the school. Some teachers bring in their own laptops, but no frequently and most are Macs.
    The network is currently arranged like this:
    Office:
    Bellsouth DSL Router with one RJ-45 ethernet wire running to the WAN port on an Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g).
    One RJ-45 ethernet wire runs from the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) LAN port out of the office to a network switch in the Library.
    All three Macs in the Office are currently connected wirelessly with Airport cards.
    Library/Lounge:
    One network switch with an RJ-45 ethernet wire from the Office running into it and two RJ-45 ethernet wires running out of it to:
    One eMac connected via ethernet from the switch in the library.
    One iMac G5 connected via ethernet from the switch to the Teacher's Lounge.
    I am currently sharing one laser printer via Bonjour that is plugged directly into the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) via USB in the office.
    There is currently one inkjet in the Teacher's Lounge plugged directly into the iMac G5 and is being shared from that iMac.
    Here is my question:
    I would like to hardwire the iMac Intel and Mac Mini (office Macs) directly to the network to improve file transfer speed between the Accountant's Mini and the Office Manager's iMac Intel. I have two options, I could run a wire to a network switch from the Lan port from the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and then connect the two Office Macs and the two Library/Lounge Macs directly from there and I assume that all thusly connected Macs would have Bonjour access to the laser printer. However, I noticed a setting in the (round topped) Airport Extreme's setup utility that said something about "do you want to connect to Bonjour with a wired (whatever" I can't remember the wording exactly, but does a setting like this one need to be checked to share that printer both across the wireless network AND the wired computers as well?
    I want to be able to share the laser across the network and the inkjet that is being shared from the G5 across the network and a future Office inkjet that, I assume, I will have to plug into one of the Office Macs to share. I can't put a USB hub on the AAEX to share via Bonjour, so my options seem to be limited. Any suggestions or workarounds for doing this better?
    Do the new "N" Airports allow printers to be daisy-chained on a USB hub and shared via Bonjour?
    BTW, I prefer Bonjour from the AAEX because the printer's available even when all other Macs are off or sleeping.

  • HP F2210 printer, wired LAN, cannot print from iMac when printer is installed on Windows XP.

    Let's try this again...
    I have a home network, and have installed my newly purchased HP F2210 printer on one of the PC's running Windows XP SP3.  I have fully installed & updated the drivers, and the printing functions work perfectly from the computer on which it's installed.
    I am also able to print without issue from any other PC running windows on my network.
    My wife has an iMac running Macintosh OS 10.4.11.  When connecting directly to the network via a wired connection, I am unable to locate the F2210 as an available printer on the network.
    Troubleshooting steps taken:
    *  I have tried disabling airport to ensure it's trying to find the printer through the wired connection rather than the wireless.
    *  I have attempted to install "additional drivers" on the PC the printer is connected to.  THIS FAILED, as I was unable to get windows to find the correct drivers on the install disk.
    *  I attempted to install the printer drivers directly on the iMac.  I was still unable to locate the printer after doing this.
    Any suggestions for other steps to try would be appreciated.

    Hi there, when you check the printer job history in your ePrintCenter account what do you see? Is there a record of the failed print jobs? Here's a link to a post with some troubleshooting steps for ePrint connectivity issues.
