My printer display screen is unreadable so i can't connect to my network. is there another way?

Deskjet 3050
Was previously connected to network but won't connect again.  Since I can't read the screen to choose the correct options all I can do is print a test page.
thanks!!

If you follow Method One: Install the software with the product CD, it does not have you do anything on the printer.  This step is listed further down in the document and everything above it is more or less preparation for this step.
The step before this has you do a WPS option which does get performed on the printer, but this is not necessary and I highly recommend skipping this step.
It may be best if you uninsalled the printer software from the computer before performing the steps so that what you experience matches what is in the steps for your printer.
Assuming the software is uninstalled, the following steps summarizes what needs to be done.
1.  Connect printer to a PC (make sure the PC is on your wireless network) with USB cable.
2.  Install the software.
3.  During the installation it will ask if you want the printer connected through USB or network.  Select network and it will add the Deskjet to the same network as the PC.
4.  Follow the prompts and it will have you disconnect the USB cable.
Once all the steps in Method One: Install the software with CD have been completed, your printer will be connected to the wireless network without doing anything on the printer control panel.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • Question When I do a search for an image I only have a limited number of images. There used to be a ton of pictures on my screen and an unlimited amount of pictures to look through. Is there a way of changing this back to the way it used to be???

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • HT1766 Hello, I'm trying to back my Iphone 5 up and it's asking for my passcode which I can't enter into my phone because my screen is smashed? Is there another way around it? I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow and need to back it up ASAP. Thanks.

    Hello, I have a smashed (just front screen, screen works but is green and liney) Iphone 5 that is totally unusable. I'm trying to back my phone up before my appointment with Apple tomorrow but it keeps asking me to unlock my phone which I can not do! Is there another way around this? Really don't want to lose my photos. Thanks.

    There's no way around it other than to back it up using the computer you normally sync with. If you haven't been syncing/backing up on a regular basis, you're hosed.

  • I cant print wireless from my D110a ..It says its connected to wireless network.

    I am unable to print wireless from my laptop to my D110 printer. The printer shows up, but wont print. the printer also shows that it is connected to wifi.

    Can you describe the new home network?
    What router brand?
    What Modem?
    What service provider?
    10.59.1.250 is a valid home network address.  You might check the address on the computer to make sure it is simular (10.59.1.xxx).
    This sounds like it could be a router setup issue.  Sometimes service providers set up router in a way that prevents the computers printer driver from seeing the printer. This might not match with the "It worked for 2 weeks" though.
    Another possibility is that the printer got a new IP address and the computer hasn't been able to find it.  Rebooting the cpmputer might fix that.
    Still another possibility is that the printer is attached to some elses router.  You might want to comfirm is it connected to your network and not another one in the area.  If you used the default SSID on the new home network there might be another one in the neighborhood that is the same.

    P.S.  Be sure the old network equipment is not plugged in somewhere, unless you have changed its SSID.

  • IMac display going bad, can I connect a MBP to it in some way so that I can transfer files?

    I need to get some files off of an old iMac. This iMac is model that has the white half-round base that looks sort of like a lamp.
    (It looks like this, not sure if its this exact model or a newer one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_800_17_fp.html)
    The display is very garbled, I can only read about half of the scene and this part that I can read is distorted.
    I've got a 2006 MBP and a new 2012 MBP that I can use to connect to it. Can I connect either of these in some way (firewire or ethernet or some other way) so that I can see it's HD on my MBP and copy the files over?
    Thanks in advance to all who answer...  And if there is a better forum to ask this question in, somebody please let me know.

    The older MBP I have has firewire 400. It's a core 2 duo, I think 2006 was the year it was made.
    So, I should be able to connect my older MBP and the iMac in target disk mode and see the iMac's HD on my MBP's screen. This is what I hope can be done becuase I can't really see much on the iMac's screen.
    Thanks for the TDM link and the UltraATA to USB adapter suggestion.

  • Can't Connect to My Network Printer Anymore: Brother 7065-DN

    I bought my Macbook Pro in 2010 and never had a problem connecting to my home network printer until a few months ago. Ever since I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I can't see or access the network printer. My daughter, who bought her Macbook Pro at the beginning of the year, pre installed with Mountain Lion, has no issues seeing and printing to the printer. I tried reinstalling the driver from my disk and it wouldn't take. I tried downloading the Brother driver from Apple and the specific driver's and updates for my printer, nothing. When I am lucky enough to see it on the printer list, it won't print, saying that the printer cannot be located. I have tried (when it does see it, which is random and weird) using the IP address and then the driver from the list, I also tried using the post script general. I have tried adding the IP address of the printer in the printer set up, I have tried adding the MAC address, I've tried clicking it when it occasionally shows up under my work group. I tried installing it while it was connected directly to the laptop...Nothing....I've turned on printer sharing, file sharing, and anything else I can think of...I am at a loss!
    The two Windows PC and the other Macbook in the house can connect via the network, no problem. I even tried to look at her settings to see what was different but I couldn't figure it out. What is really frustrating is that I am working on my degree and need to print regularly, so everyone else in the house has to stop what they are doing, open the file I sent them through e-mail, download it, and then print it. It irritates them and me!
    I have a standard router n/b/g and a comcast modem. One desk top and three laptops connected to it. Internet access works fine. Printer is a Laser Jet all in one scanner/printer Brother 7065-DN. I have downloaded all the updated drivers from Apple and Brother. Someone please help!! I am going crazy and wasting a lot of time messing with this that could be better spent on my homework!! Like I said, it worked fine until the upgrade!!

  • Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

    When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years.  I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore. 
         Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue.  I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.  
      I would appreciate any help on this issue.  Thanks!

    Hello @Celestialnova ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems with your wireless network.
    I would like to help.
    Since the same issue happened with two different model of printers, lets take a moment to check the network.
