Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,

HI Win7User8273,
Thank you for the additional information.
When the printer is displaying the error message, please Reset the Printer. Once you have reset the printer, please try and print the alignment page again. If that fails then please follow the steps in the document titled 'Alignment Failed' Error Message Displays on the All-in-One.

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...!

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer?

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.

You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

Need a driver for an HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series - but cannot download

Can any one help me, I need to download a driver for an HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series but cannot download from the HP site - very frustrated - any help would be welcome!

Hi Teamtahoe,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear about your frustration. I understand that you are trying to download a driver for your HP Deskjet 3050a J611 series printer, and I am happy to help you!
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 do not know what Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
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.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a nice day!

Where can I find a 10.5.8 driver for Laserjet 400 m401dne printer?

I'm running OS 10.5.8 on a G5 desktop (tower), and I just bought a LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne and connected it to this Mac with a usb cable. The Mac will print to it using a generic postscript driver automatically chosen by the OS. There is no driver for the LaserJet 400 on the list of drivers available in the OS.
The installer disk for the printer doesn't offer any driver installation for 10.5.8. It just says that the DVD software won't work with this version of the Mac OS.
This printer is capable of doing duplex (double-sided) printing, which is the main reason I bought this printer, but I am not given that option in any of the dialogue boxes for the printer when I hit PRINT. Apparently the generic postscript driver doesn't recognize the duplex printing feature of the printer. As a result I cannot print on both sides of a page.
I went to the HP website and could not find a LaserJet 400 driver for OS 10.5, nor do I see any driver for it on the Apple website. The free Gutenprint driver utility lists many LaserJet models, but not the 400.
Does anyone know where I might find a driver for this LaserJet 400 that will enable it to do double-sided printing in OS 10.5.8?
Tom

You solved the problem, BDAqua! I downloaded the driver for the LaserJet 500 from the HP website, as you suggested, and I found that it runs my LaserJet 400! And now I have the double-sided printing capability that I wanted. I just now printed out some double-sided pages to prove it.
I never even considered that a driver for a different HP printer might run this one, but it does. It offers options for printing color that this printer does not have, since the HP 400 is only a black-and-white (or grayscale) printer, and the driver thinks it is running a color printer, but I can simply ignore those.
So the HP Color LaserJet 500 driver for OS 10.5.8 is able to run the HP LaserJet 400 monochrome printer. Whodathunk!
Other HP LaserJet 400 owners running 10.5.8 take note!
Thank-you very much BDAqua!

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same installer was used in previous OS

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same Capt.Installer was used in previous OS.
Got message that the software was not obtained from Apple or trusted source.
Anyone can help solve this issue, do not wish to purcahse new printer, and Apple does not appear to be friendly to me

Apple is still friendly, only became more protective - for your very best. Right-click on the installer, then "Open", and then you get a window offering you the option to run it. That's a ML feature. Again, for your protection.
Independently, and as not only with Apple, a new OS X is sometimes different, and ML is that bit "pickier" with fully compatible software. So, even if your driver ran under Lion, it can be that it won't under ML. In that case please check Canon's website if they have a newer ML-compatible version, If not, also go and blame Canon. It's their responsibility to provide up-to-date drivers, not Apple's.
Good 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

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.

I don't believe that Samsung ever made a driver for this model that worked in intel. Unfortunately, I think your printer is just too old. You can read here

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.

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.

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
