My HP Deskjet 3050A won't let me print via my laptop!

I've had my printer quite a while now (about 3 years) it is a hp deskjet 3050A and has been set up with wireless. It prints off fine when I send something via Iphone, Ipod or Ipad over wifi, but when I try to send something via my laptop over the wifi (new toshiba with windows 8), it wont let me. How do I sort this problem out as I do not want to get a new printer. Why won't it let me print from my laptop?

OK so you have a new computer with Windows 8.  You did install the new software and drivers for Windows 8 right?  This always has to be done.
Download and install the full featured software and drivers from here.

  • I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

    Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air.  I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on.  This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home.  Please Help asap! Thank you,  Tracey

    traceyss--this might work on mac air:  on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on."  then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain:  so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

  • AEBS, won't let me print wirelesly. problem over 2 months, please help.

    Hello
    I can not print wirelesly via AEBS, please help it drives me crazy.
    Our computers:
    Macbook pro 2ghz, lates update 10.4.6
    G4 powerbook, latest update 10.4.6
    AEBS latest update V5.7
    Epson RX500, with latest updates on our machines.
    We have ADSL conection. I have a router which connects AEBS to the internet.
    Both G4 and Macbook connects without problem to the internet.
    Epson printer is connected to AEBS.
    When I tried to add printer in macosx I'm able to see the printer. I follow instructions and printer is added. I can see the name of printer and lokation on AEBS. All is corect, but won't let me print wirelesly. (with usb no problem).
    I played with AEBS utility where funny thing happend. There is in Network share a single IP address. When I change it from 10.0.1.1 to 192.168.1.1 addressing then I can print, but internet doesn't work. (192.168.1.1 is my zyxel router so I understand that should not work anyway).
    If I set it back 10.0.1.1 than internet works and printing not.
    what else should I configure?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    You should ensure that under the Network Tab, the AEBS is configured to NOT distribute IP addresses as you already have the Zyxel router doing that function on your network.

  • Pages won't let me print, save or export documents and tells me I need to buy I-Work

    I purchased Pages and it won't let me print, save or export documents. It keeps telling me I have to buy I-Work because my free trial is over.

    You have to delete the iWork trial first. Then install iWork or Pages again.
    You cannot completely delete iWork by moving the iWork '09 folder to the Trash. Instead, use Yvan Koenig's script:
              •          Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
              •          Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
              •          Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

  • Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pima ip100

    Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pixma ip100 from a Mac Pro.  The ip100 prints gibberish continuously until it is unplugged.  There is no other way to stop the printing.

    Pages can save documents to PDF format, but does not open them natively. Use iBooks or one of the many free apps available for that purpose on the App Store.

  • IMac won't let me print on both sides using my hp D2400 printer

    I just received my iMac and was trying to print on both sides using my hp D2400. But, on the option page, it won't let me choose "Print on both sides". Why? How do I fix it? Thanks!!

    From the HP Support site, have you done the following, as you need to:
    Install or update the HP software with Apple Software Update
    Choose your connection type for steps to install HP software using Apple Software Update.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03404580&lc=en #N187
    USB connection
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click Software Update . Software Update checks for available updates and updates the database that your Mac uses to determine available printer software.
    Click Show Details , select any available software updates, and then click Install .
    NOTE: Install all available updates for best printer performance and functionality. 
    Turn on your printer, and then make sure that it has paper in the tray and that it is in a ready state.
    Connect the USB cable to the printer and to the Mac. A print queue is automatically created for your printer. If the Mac already has current software for your printer, the print queue is created in the background.NOTE:If you are prompted to install any additional software for your printer, click Install , and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan , and then make sure that your printer is in the list of available devices.If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign ( ) at the bottom of the left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add .NOTE: Quit and restart any applications that were open before adding the printer to use the updated HP software features.
    Hope this helps

  • HP Deskjet 3050A won't scan.

    DJ 3050a 611G is brand new. It will print and copy but won't scan from either printer control panel or from HP software interface. I am not using the wireless feature. I am directly connected to my computer via USB port. I have updated my software and drivers. Still not luck. I have tried the HP diagnostics but can only get to the windows sectio and an error says it won't scan using (WIA). The diaganostics will allow me to skip this but then stops at the next section.
    Original issue was that the "printer can't find computer"
    This question was solved.

  • Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.5 won't let me in via login

    A power outage appears to have created some issues with my intel Xserve, running Leopard server 10.5.5
    The System identifier light was blinking, so I booted up from the Leopard disk and found out that my mirrored internal array needed to be rebuilt. No problem, 4 hours later, I repair permissions on the mirrored internal array, everything gets "repaired". Change bootup disk to the internal 10.5.5 mirrored array and reboot. System Identifier light stopped blinking, things were looking good.
    The login screen comes up and when I put in the admin username and password, the screen does the shake of the wrong login.
    What's weird is, on my laptop I can use Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and the screen sharing for the server....with the admin username and password.
    So, I figure, perhaps the mirror rebuild requires me to reset the admin password. So, boot back up from the Leopard Server install DVD, run the password utility. and reset the main account password.
    I change the boot drive back to the internal mirror, same thing. I'm stuck. I can't get past the login screen on the actually server....or via the screen sharing...and Server Monitor appears to be stuck at 'waiting for response'. I can, again, use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on my laptop and make changes to the X server software....but I can't log into the X serve.
    My webpage, wiki, etc....are all serving fine. But, I'd like to be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong...log back in and run super duper, etc.
    Help...please...

    Spent all day with apple support. They said it sounded like the LADP database was corrupted. They had me try to login as root, via an opendir account, etc. No luck.
    So, they suggested I do a fresh install of the Leopard server on an external drive. Did that. They then suggested I use my laptop and the workgroup manager app to log in to the xserver, export users, groups and computers....and to copy over the library/collaboration folder to the external "clean install" of Leopard server.
    Did that and followed the instructions to "relink" the metadata.plist files in each group, to the GUID to the groups in workgroup manager. First issue, they weren't different GUID strings.
    Well, that didn't work...kept getting file not found error. When trying to access the domain.com/groups/groupname...it should've asked for authentication. And let me into that wiki...but no, apache error page.
    So, they had me create a new "test" group....added a user. Start and stopped the web...etc. This didn't create a new wiki entry (when we replaced my custom index.html to the default index where groups/wikis/blogs populate automatically at the main). And, there's no new "test" folder in the library/collaboration files.
    They then said "well, it must be because you don't have reverse DNS configured right, that's why the new wikis won't set up". I've contacted dyndns.com...but I don't think that's the problem.
    So, I've rebooted my xserver to the internal drive. The wiki and blog is still there, still accessible the way I like....I still can't login to the xserver.
    So, I'm wondering, if anyone knows a way I can boot up my xserve in the target drive mode, hook up my laptop and replace / swap whatever admin files so that when I boot up my xserve, I can login again.
    There has to be a way to hard fix a hidden file? Replace a DB? Some awesome terminal command to get me in and fix the admin account / password....
    Or, does anyone know if the reverse DNS issue applecare cites is legit? Doesn't make sense how, the same public ip and domain name, that's worked for some time...suddenly doesn't???
    I'm hoping someone can help me.

  • J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

    Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors.  Pressing OK doesn't remove error message.  Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

    The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
    The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times),  lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and  the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
    Happy Printing

  • Won't let me print documents from website link

    For this specific website, when I try to print a document it will automatically download it for me but it won't print. I will click on the download and it will open up on Word, but since it is coded it will not show properly. How can I get it to print directly from the print link on the website? I've tried resetting it and it still won't print.

    [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]] may help, but if it also happens in other browsers you may want to ask the site developer.

  • My Airport express won't let me print

    I have a network where I am using an Airport Extreme as my wireless router and an Airport Express as a print server.  My printer is an Epson Artisan Series 50 printer.  I can print directly from my Mac Book Pro but the network printing is no longer working.

    Apple's Printer troubleshooting for AirPort  Base Stations and Time Capsule is a good place to start the process.
    Sometimes the last step.....resetting the print system will work miracles.....but it is a good idea to work your way through the guide step by step.
    I assume that you have already done the basics like performing a complete sequenced power cycle of your entire network.
    If you have not done this......power down the entire network.....all devices......power down order is not important.
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a full minute by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time a minute apart until everything is powered back up
