Installing HP Deskjet 3050

I downloaded and installed the driver for my printer, HP Deskjet 3050. It installed sucessfully. However, when i try to print, the printer is not listed in the print dialoguue box. When i try to add it through System Preferences, the printer is found, but i get a message that it already exists and do i want to create a new printerl. It suggests i now have it added 5 times, but it still does not show up when i try to print. When i go back to system prefernces, the print/scan setting says there is no printer.
I don't know what to do to find where the printer is. Any advice please?
Thanks

Hey @GP5,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're encountering an issue when trying to print from your Mac OS X 10.8 Operating System to your HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer as your Mac indicates that the printer has been 'added' 5 times to the computer but never appears in the Print dialogue window. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. It does sound like there is an issue occuring with the CUPS system within the Mac. The CUPS system is the print system built into your Mac. If there is an issue within the Mac print system your printer may not appear or function properly on the Mac. Therefore, I am going to run you through some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue with you. 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 as it is important that we have a nice clean slate to work with for troubleshooting. 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.' 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: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
Next, please click here for steps on how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' and follow the appropriate steps to complete the uninstall process.
Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.
Step 3: 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 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: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
Please click here to download the driver for your printer
Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall your HP Deskjet
Once your Deskjet has been successfully reinstalled please test printing again to verify if your printer now appears as per normal.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Deskjet 3050 J610 will not install on Mavericks or new Router

I have had a deskjet 3050 J610 for a couple years and it has worked fine with our MacBook Pro (with the exception of updates) . We recently restored our MacBook and added Mavericks. We also have a new netgear modem/router. We can not connect the printer to our network or to the laptop wirelessly. Here is what has happened so far after spending hours attempting everything we could find online with no sucess......
-I can print from the Mac with a USB cable connected to printer
-I've restored the printers default settings
-Printed the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows our Network
It says my HP printer cannot find the access point.
Everything passed except network name found....this failed
Network status-Offline
embedded web server-http://0.0.0.0 I can't even get to the webpage
network name (SSID)-HPJ610a.0798A0
ip address-not applicable
The blue light for wireless flashes on printer.
When I go to Wireless Menu it says wireless radio is on.
My next option is Settings, Under Settings I have Disable, WPS and Defaults.
Under WPS I get Push Button or PIN......neither worked.
Printer DOES NOT have a wireless setup wizard!
I have checked for updates on the Mac and do not have any (Original CD not compatible with Mavericks). When I go to System Preferences-Print/Scan, it shows the printer as disabled. I tryed downloading software & drivers from HP's website, but when I go to my Applications menu, there is not an HP folder/icon.
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
Currently a full feature software is not available for your products for Mavericks, however there are some other workarounds to connect the printer to your network.
Please follow these steps to create a temporary ad-hoc connection and then set the wireless connection through the printer's EWS page:
On the printer click on Wireless, then select Reset Wireless.
Turn the printer Off and back On.
If the wireless light is not blicking, click the wireless button and turn the Wireless Radio On.
From your Mac click the Wireless icon and then on Join Other Networks.
Click on Show network and connect to the printer SSID which includes J610 as part of its name.
Note: Allow 1-2 minutes to fully establish the temporary connection.
Open Safary, then click the Bonjour menu and select the listed Deskjet 3050.
Note: if there is no Bonjour option at the top menu, click Safary > Preferences > Advanced and check both of the Include Bonjour options at that screen. click OK and the Bonjour menu will appear.
Go to Network / Wireless and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your home network.
On your Mac click the WiFi icon and reconnect the Mac to your home network.
Now both your Mac and the printer are connected to your network, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking the plus sign.

Shlomi

Deskjet 3050 not compatible with new OSx Lion

Yesterday i purchased a new MacBook Pro from the apple store and it came with a free HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-one j610 series printer. Upon putting in the disk to install and setup the printer it said it wasnt compatible with the new OSx 10.7, Only 10.5 and 10.6 are supported? Long story short my router (that VerizonFios provided) doesn't support WPS so i need to use the USB option to connect my new printer to my network but my MacBook OS isnt supported. Please help. Thats kind of a shame that i get a free printer and cant set it up.

Its just sad that they would even provide a promotion product that isnt compatible with their own. Im going to try and set it up wireless-ly with my pc and if that fails im going back to the store. Thats such a shame that they would do that.

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 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.

Deskjet 3050 Unsuccessful Network Installation

Hi,
I cannot get my Deskjet 3050 to install across the network on my Windows XP machine. The printer is connected to my wireless router OK (a BT HomeHub 2), the printer network diagnostic says everything is OK and I can access the embedded web server on the printer through a browser. I can even print/scan to the device wirelessly from a separate Windows 7 PC on the same network.
The problem on my XP machine is at the very last stage of the install. I select the Network option from the Connection screen, the network is scanned and my printer is listed OK with the correct IP and MAC addresses. I click Next and the progress bar displays on the Installing Printer screen. Files are copied, but the progress bar then hesitates about 1/3rd of the way across, and then continues. The final screen then says Unsuccessful Network Installation and the printer does not appear on my PC. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue with my network installation on the same model. The only information I can add is that my second computer on the network that works correctly with the device is also using the XP operating system. My wireless router is a Netgear WNR2000 and the PC that will not install the printer from the network is connected via ethernet while the laptop that works is connected wirelessly.
As with the previous poster, I am able to view the printer in the list of attached devices from the router administration. I have also tried reserving IP addresses for my devices and selective startup so that all but Microsoft services were disabled at startup, but it still fails installation. I'm hoping there is an HP tech who can shed some light on this because I consider myself pretty handy with installs and I'm at my wits' end.
Thanks for any guidance anyone can provide.

Deskjet 3050 won't recognize wireless network anymore.

Product: HP Deskjet 3050
Operating system: Windows 7-64 bit
Printer quit printing wirelessly. Using the control panel on the printer, I restored defaults. Now it won't recognize any wireless networks. I have unplugged computer, but that didn't help. I don't want to unplug my router, because I will lost all my DVR items (we are on AT&T uverse). Any tips?

Run a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu of the front panel. What does it say?
If everything is OK (which I suspect), re-install the printer with the temporary use of a USB cable just as you did originally when you installed it.
