HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air

Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
Can you help resolving this please? Thanks

What router are you using? Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- 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 then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

My 4650 prints papers with a 45 degree black 1" line in the middle of the paper.

I have an HP Photosmart C4650 using Windows XP and there's about a one inch long fairly thick black line near the middle of every page slanted to the right. I thought it was the old cartridges because the ink had been low for a while. I bought both new cartridges and installed them. The alignment sheet printed without the line, but the first time I tried to print something out, that same line is still there.

Problem HP Deskjet F4180 and

I have an iMac with OSX operating system, version 10.9.4. Recently, I updated the software installing the Maverick OSX. My system also includes HP Deskjet F4180 scanner/printer. After this update, any scanned document or photo when printed are useless. They turned out all black interspersed with fine lines looking like a black notebook. I also tried to save and then to print them but the result was the same.
I tried to resolve the problem by shutting down the iMac and disconnecting the printer. I also followed the advise to reset the system via System Preference without any success.
I would appreciate any advise how to resolve the issue.

Large paper printing in Deskjet F4180

Hello,
I'm trying to use my Deskjet F4180 to print a paper the size of 21x100 cm. meaning, the width of a normal A4 (therefore fits in to the printer's paprt feeder) - but LONG.
I am printing from Indesign, on a mac, mac os x 10.6.3
I believe it should be possible because I did the exact same thing with an older model of deskjet I used to have (don't remember the model number), indesign and all. back then it worked fine.
but now it doesn't work somehow. I define the paper size at the "print > page setup" in indesign, make sure that the paper is fed from its short side, then get an error message from the printer saying I have a paper size error.
does anyone know how to do it?

Are you using 4x6 paper? And is the photo you are printing 4x6 or autofit?

Deskjet f4180 printer to chromebook

I am trying to hook up my HP Deskjet F4180 to my Google Chromebook that has a Google OS. How do I do this?
I read on a forum that I can register the printer to eprint and then use google cloud to print. But, I'm having trouble finding a printer claim code so I can register the printer and so on......
I can't even find a settings button on this printer that was given to me by my in-laws with no operation manual
Thanks!!!!

Hi there, first off here's a link to the user guide for your printer, just in case you need to reference at any time in the future
Now in relation to using the printer to print from your Chromebook there's a couple of things to be aware of. Your printer model is not web enabled so it will not have a claim code. Google refer to this type of printer as a "Classic" type printer and this link will provide instructions of how to connect your classic printer with Google Cloud Print which is how you print from a Chromebook.
This YouTube video on printing from a Chromebook with Google Cloud Print may also be of help in getting started.

The new Laptop recognizes the printer but will not print. No problem printing from PC s5120f . I am strictly a user, not very tech savy.

Hi @78Senior,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you cannot print from Windows 8.1 to your HP Deskjet f4180. I am happy to help!
I would recommend to go through this printer is offline guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print: Windows 8. When you get to solution four make sure to select USB and follow the steps there as well.
Hope this works!

Wireless Printing issues with HP Deskjet 2540

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer - it prints if I have connected it to a USB cable; however, it refuses to print if I try to print wirelessly.
I had initially solved this problem when I went to System Preferences > Printers and Scanners and noticed two Deskjet 2540 series icons in a window titled 'Printers'. I ended up removing one of these icons and set the other one as a default, which seemed to temporarily solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in this 'Printers' menu and my printer refuses to print through my wireless connection.
My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is an issue here - I also have recently installed the software for this printer to make sure there was not some sort of driver issue; however, this does not seem to give me the permanent solution I am looking for.
Any Advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

Hey @love2dance,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you're having difficulty printing wirelessly with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with this and may have some steps that will ensure you can print wirelessly from your Mac.
I recommend you start from scratch and re-do your printer install and wireless setup for best results.
Firstly, make doubly sure your printer is connected to your wireless network by doing the following:
Step one: Prepare for installationTo gather your network name (SSID) and password (WEP key or WPA passphrase), you can ask the person who originally set up your network, see the documentation that came with the router, or contact the manufacturer. HP cannot set up or change the network SSID or the password.
Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
WEP key or WPA security passphrase
A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
A USB cable (used only during installation).
Administrator privileges or password
Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all on, and that the computer is connecting to the wireless network.
Connect the USB Cable to the rear port of the HP product and to any USB port on the computer.
Exit all applications running on your computer.
Source
Secondly, prepare your Mac by removing any existing printers added:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
Click the "-" (Remove printer) button.
Next, click here to download and install your printer's software. As you work your way through the setup, follow the prompts to convert your usb install to wireless. With this setup completed successfully your wireless printing capability should be restored.
One way to preserve this wireless connection is to make sure your wireless mode/router is left on continually. If at anytime your network connection is lost, reconnecting your printer will mean that it's being assigned a new IP address. The significance here is that your Mac will be looking to connect with the printer at an IP address that is no longer applicable.
Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. Best of luck!

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

I'm using windows 7 with a hp deskjet 3059A e Printer All-in-One J611n not scanning pc not found

My Deskjet 3059A e printer all-in-one J611n was working fine til my pc crashed. Now I can't get it to scan. Says computer not found & it is switched on to my pc via usb cable.... Help

Hello @terezaferreira , Welcome to the forums
I read your post about the scanning problems and I am here to help you out.
I would first suggest you restart the computer completely, and power reset the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Now with both the printer and PC powered on, run the Print and Scan Doctor from your computer and send me a screen shot of the results or write me back with the detailed results.
Try scanning from the HP Software on your computer, and also scan from the printer to your PC. Tell me if either ways worked and what happened!
Have a great Tuesday

Printing wirelessly with a hp deskjet 6980

I bought me a hp deskjet 6980 which is equiped with it's own wi-fi device for printing.
Has anybody experiences setting up the printer for wirelessly printing on Mac OS X 10.4.6 or Windows XP SP 2?
Cause I followed the guidelines in the manual but never succeded.
I have a wireless airport network for internet with a PowerBook G4 and a Vaio Laptop. What I want to do is sending printjobs from both machines wirelessly to the printer.

Here are the instructions that got me through this.
Good luck.
For your issues with setting up the Deskjet 6980 printer to your network
I would recommend the following steps. These steps are based on a
process you would use if the driver installation has already been run
through on the Mac.
If you want to utilize the printers wireless functions disconnect the
ethernet cable from the printer and the air port.
Reset the printer buy holding the report (check mark) button down.
While holding the report (check mark) button down press and release the
cancel (x) button three times then release the report (check mark)
button. Once all the lights except the power are off turn the power off
(this may take a minute). Wait for one minute then turn the printer
back on. While the lights are flashing follow the steps numbered below.
1. Ensure the blue radio light come on the printer then click on the
airport icon (on the top menu bar), select hpsetup
2. Once connected to hpsetup, Print the network configuration page from
the printer again (press and release the button with the check mark).
3. Open Safari (should say cannot open page), enter the printer's IP
Address (line 7 with the periods) into the address bar, hit return. An
HP site should open (this is the embedded web server on the printer).
* NOTE * If you do not have the printers report page with the IP address
on it simply press and release the report (check mark) button and it
will print out.
4. Select the Networking tab. On the left side of the window (under
CONNECTIONS), select Wireless (802.11)
5. Click on Start Wizard.
6. Select the network name from the drop down list, click next.
7. If there is NO WEP encryption, continue to step 8. If there is WEP
encryption, enter the key (You must know this key. If you do not contact
Apple to get it reset).
8. Click Finish, the printer's wireless and network lights should blink.
9. At the top of the screen click on the word Safari and then click quit
Safari. Once Safari closes click on the airport icon and switch back to
your network name. You may be prompted for a password.
10. At the top of the screen click on GO then APPLICATIONS. Next double
click on TextEdit. type any thing in this windows and then click on
FILE then PRINT. Ensure the Deskjet 6900 series is the printer listed
and then click on PRINT.
The printer should print the TextEdit words you typed in.

Printing issue with DeskJet 6940

About every 20 pages or so, printing in portrait mode, the printer does a form feed after printing about 1 1/2" of text. It happens intermittently, and there is no apparent logic or pattern.
I have reinstalled the driver, changed the USB cord, but to no avail. My LaserJet CP3505 on the same computer does not exhibit this issue.
Using Windows XP with SP 3, Dell Dimension 3150 with 3.25 GB ram. It also happened with earlier XP versions, so its not an operating system upgrade problem.
It happens with B/W or color printing, always using 8 1/2 x 11 paper from the upper tray. It does not appear to happen when printing in two-sided mode.
I don't know what to try next! Does anyone have an idea?

I have an older HP non-wi-fi printer connected to my Apple Airport Express wireless router which includes a USB port. This makes the printer available with my wireless network which I've used for printing wirelessly with my former Apple PowerBook and now with my MacBook Pro for years. I'm now able to print from my iPhone and iPad as well.
You need to have the printer connected to a wireless router for your wi-fi network, or purchase a printer that is wi-fi capable and if you do that you might as well purchase an AirPrint compatible printer which doesn't require a wi-fi printing app purchased from the app store.
