PC unable to find HP Deskjet 3050A despite wireless connection established.

I have recently purchased the deskjet 3050a and have connected it to my packard bell pc. The pc is running windows 7 and my router is a basic SKY provided unit. All tests show that the printer is connected to the correct network and the eprint works off my samsung galaxy but my pc is unable to find the printer wirelessly. I have tried all the suggested troubleshooting ideas on hp desktop.

First, download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
What does it say?
Do you have a firewall on your PC that is enabled (not Windows Firewall, but perhaps one associated with your antivirus security suite)? Disable it and try again.

Laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly

laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly, could it be the virgin superhub? (been on the phone to Virgin for an hour they said not their problem) i can eprint and print using a usb cable. Printer displays 'connected' message.
OS windows 7 64 bit. Tried uninstalling etc, 11 hours on still no joy!

Hi,
Did you try HP Auto Wireless Connect?
1. Restore network defaults from the printer front panel. Wireless>Wireless Settings>Restore Network Defaults.
2. Download the printer software, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-93470-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
3. Before you run the sofware, make sure you computer is wirelessly connected to the Virgin and that the connection is a saved profile(automatically connects). You can check this in the Manage Wireless Networks section of the Windows Network and Sharing Center.
4. Run the software and select the Wireless connection option.
5. Select Yes to run HP Auto Wireless Connect.

Want stream Netflix to blueray via Airport Express wifi. The blueray finds my wifi but the wireless connection failed - said, Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router. Don't think I have DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

Want to stream Netflix to blueray player via my existing Airport Express wifi. The player finds my wifi but the wireless connection fails - says, " Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router." I don't think I have a DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

I can't speak specifically regarding LG, but the Whole Home feature on Direct TV (record a movie on one DVR and watch it on another TV in another location) just won't work with wireless, and I have a strong fast connection at 300 Mbps. Ethernet works perfectly.
Few audio/video products will accept "n" wireless at 5 GHz. I suspect that your LG accepts a 2.4 GHz signal, which would top out at 130 Mpbs.
If you are trying to stream High Definition video, especially at 1080P, my opinion would be that it is unlikely that you will be able to do so reliably using wireless.
Perhaps another user who has figured out how to do this will post with some input.

I have recently changed ISP and now my iPad and iMac cannot find my Deskjet 3050A 611.

My HP Deskjet 3050A 611 was working perfectly with my iPad2 and iMac up to a few weeks ago. I have changed my ISP to BT and it seems that since then the computers cannot find any AirPrint printers. I did try resetting the network defaults but apparently to no avail. Can anybody help?. The blue wireless light is flashing on the front of the computer and it has new ink cartrdges and paper.

You will have to re-install the printer using the HP software on the Mac. Look in Applications > Hewlett-Pacakard > [your printer model] for the Printer Setup & Software app and run it.

Unable to find the Transfer Rules in Transport Connection

Hi Guys,
I am on BW 3.5.
I am unable to find the Transfer Rules created in transport Connection. I need to Transport these changes. I was able to Transport Communication structure and the Infosource.
I tried activating the Transfer Rules and also replicated the datasources but it does'nt prompt me for a Transport request.
Hence I need to explicitly Transport by going into Transport Connection where I am unable to find the object.
Please help me on how to include this object in the Transport request created.
Thanks in advance.

HP 3050A J611 Wireless Connectivity issue

I have an HP 3050A J611 which I have used (successfully) wirelessly for a couple of years. I have used a MiFi 2200 Verizon internet device to connect wirelessly to both my laptop and the printer, printing and scanning successfully. I recently changed to an Ellipsis Jetpack 523C (Verizon), and I'm attempting to connect the printer (3050A) to the laptop via this Jetpack. I can't figure out how to communicate the printer and the Jetpack. I can't find the place on the printer control panel where I enter the Jetpack password, or where the printer shows available networks......anyone?

Hello cmw71,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I understand that you're having issues getting the Deskjet 3050A back onto the wireless network since changing to an Ellipsis Jetpack. I will do my best to help you with this.
I have located a document for you that should be helpful in resolving the issue. The reason why you cannot find the setting on the printer would be due to that fact they don't exist. As explained in the document, there are only two was to connect this printer Wirelessly. Via Auto Wireless Connect, or USB setup of Wireless.
Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
Please follow the document for your operating system. Let me know if you encounter any errors or difficulties and require further assistance.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Hello diegobalin, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues with your communication between your printer and computer. I would like to help!
First, I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would recommend resetting the print system. For more information on how to go about that, you can utilize this document: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
I would then suggest verifying and repairing your disk permissions. You can use this document: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also ensure that you have performed your Apple Updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
Once those steps are all performed, I would recommend reinstalling the software using the HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

OS 10.6.8. Deskjet 3050A. Wireless not working.

I can log into my router and ping the printer. I can print to the printer via USB. I cannot, however, print wirelessly. I can, though, print through the HP eprint function (although that's because it's going through the router and not my mac). When I ping it, I get this: ping: sendto: Host is down
If I can reach it via the router, then the host isn't down, right? I've shut my wireless off on the mac, turned it back on and get the same result. I've reset the printing system. Same result. I've power cycled the printer. Same result. I've put it into the host file. Same result.
I've worked with HP on this and they've sent me three additional printers because they thought the printer was bad, because I couldn't ping it with my mac. I now believe it to be a localized issue, not a network or a printer problem.
Any thoughts, ideas, and/or suggestions on what I should do next?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.

Deskjet 3512 connected to wireless network but utility says 'Unable to find printer'

1. Product Name and Number
     • HP Deskjet 3512
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
     • Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error message (if any)
     Unable to find printer.
    Facts:
- Printer is connected to network. Panel LED is unblinking blue and the status indicates the correct SSID for my network. Also the router config page indicates that the printer is connected with a correct IP (192.168.1.XX).
- Wireless Network Test Results diagnostics of the printer states that all PASSED, except that the Internet says 'Not connected'.
- Tried to ping the IP that the printer panel says, but cmd says: Destination Host Unreachable. Tried arp -a after that but it does not show the IP & MAC address of the printer.
- Turned off: Windows firewall, router firewall (Telus Actiontec V1000H) and disabled MAC Address Control and uninstalled Avast AV and reboot.
- Cannot access printer Embedded Web Server.
- Tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it didnt find the printer. And when it did find it, it was by using the USB cable. After selecting the fixes, it came to 'Unable to Find Printer again'.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
     • No changes. Bought the printer and I'm having this issue.
PLEASE HELP!

To start out sounds like this is a driver issue. I want to start with being sure that the removal of the software and reinstallation happened in the best possible fashion. I want you to follow my steps so I can be sure that we are both starting on the same page.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
find and install the FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE if it is available :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5241114
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

Photosmart 5510 unable to find my MacBook pro.

I have read many posts with regards to scanner and printing issues with printer compatible AirPrint. I have tried all solutions by the experts but my printer cannot scan from computer, error message is "unable to find computer make sure printer is connected to a network and turned on". I find that not all the setting are available in order to turn on Scan to Computer. I have tried two HP printers Photosmart 5510 and 3050 both with same results, I have eventually established a more permanent connection by selecting the Bonjour name for the printer when adding a printer to Print & Scan, not the HP name.The HP software did not appear to work for me as it was unable to find the wireless printer on the network. So I used the option to obtain wireless connection to my router using the printer panel, then adding the printer from Print & Scan and ensure that AirPrint is selected not Printer Software.
I still have issues when printing from a web page but I can work around that as I also have IOS devices where I use HP Apps, even though Airprint should work on these devices without needing apps.
My OSX is Mountain Lion
Macbook is mid 2010
Printer is Photosmart5510 B111a

It sounds like the issue is with the printing system since Airprint works (which is a very different system all together). The scan function will not work with Airprint and the full featured drivers is required to have that functionality from HP. However, there are alternative ways to scan if you want some scanning functionality until the software issue is corrected.
Try resetting the printing system before continuing. Resetting the printing system will remove any printers from the system.
Have you tried installing the newest 10.8 full featured drivers from HP?

[SOLVED] Unable to set up wireless connection (wiki read)

Well, as you can see that's my 1st post. That's why I want, at first, congratulate the community for the amazing wiki and forums. It helped so much.
But I'm writing here because I have a problem that I'm unable to resolve with the wiki: The wireless connection. It doesn't work.
Now I will post my hardware and some software:
ASUS Eeepc 1000
01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2860 (as # lspci | grep -i net says)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Faster Ethernet (rev b0) (as # lspci | grep -i net says)
Linux Kernel 3.2.4-1-ARCH (as # uname -r says)
I3 window manager
wireless_tools and wpa_supplicant installed
(If you want to know something more, ask me)
The wireless is enabled in the BIOS and the led indicator is on.
Being the network controller RT2860, must I do something special? I tried to blacklist what the wiki says with no results.
I have no problems with wired connection, but I can't set up my wireless connection with the # ip link set wlan0 up command (and yes, I execute this command as su or with sudo). I3 corroborates it in the status bar: W: down.
# ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
( I had it disconnected when I did this check)2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:22:15:08:af:e2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:15:af:ba:39:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I tried a lot of thing, but no results at all. Must I configure manually some file like wpa_supplicant.conf, rc.conf or others? It is normal that in rc.conf, NETWORKING tab, the only interface is eth0 (interface=eth0) with no other references to wlan0?
Thanks for your attention.

That thing on the wiki about blacklisting is probably outdated, it's from the times the kernel had two Ralink drivers. Now there's only one, and you should not blacklist anything.
rc.conf is only for wired interfaces. For wireless you can do stuff manually, or use a manager - netcfg, wicd, networkmanager.
And that's that. For further help, you'll have to provide details about which commands you used and what their output is.

Unable to access Deskjet 3050A with Hp Envy M4

I am trying to connect my daughter's Envy M4 laptop to a Deskjet 3050A ePrinter. I have downloaded the ePrinter software recommended from the HP software Drivers and when the software stated installation was successful, I selected a recipe to print, but it did not print. I uninstalled/reinstalled the software and received the same result when trying to print another receipe. There were no further steps mentioned after the successful installation. Are further steps I should have taken, like a restart?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Blazer5,
I understand that you successfully installed the Deskjet 3050a, how ever it will not print recipes. Will it print an email, a .PDF, anything on the computer or from another web site?
There should be no other steps, once the software is installed it should print. Please try running the HP Print and Scan Dr on the computer having issues. Reply back with its results, example: all passed, if it fixed something(what it fixed), it was unable to resolve the problem, did the test page prints from it.
I will keep an eye out for your reply.
Thanks,

Unable to Set-Up ePrint for Deskjet 3050A

Hi,
I'ved my HP Deskjet 3050A for some time, however I've recently set it up using Wi-Fi, which I find amazing! Furthermore, I wanted to set up the ePrint service, so that I'm able to print remotely from other devices I use. I followed the instructions through the HP website and couldn't seem to get past Step 1.
Step one asks me to asks me to register an account with ePrint, which I have done. However, it then asks me for a 'Printer Claim Code'. This is where I seem to hit brick wall. It asks me to print a 'Web services information sheet'. To do this I must click the ePrint button on my printer and select 'Print Info Page'. However, when I do this I'm shown an error which reads...
"The printer could not connect to the Internet. Check Internet connection."
I then tried various other ways by looking through this forum, however they all seems to lead to the same problem. I can print fine through my computer using Wi-Fi.
Can anyone offer any support on this?
Printer: HP Deskjet 3050A
OS: Windows 8.1
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when you are trying to enable the web services on your Deskjet 3050A printer that you are getting a connection error message.
Please start by setting a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Don’t stress that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.
Please let me know how it goes.

MBAM 2.5 Unable to find compatible TPM despite TPM available and device encrypted

We have just installed and are piloting MBAM 2.5. Everything seems to have gone fine, machines are checking in getting policies, encrypting as they are supposed to and we can query MBAM for recovery keys and TPM passwords to do recoveries as needed.
The only issue we have is when we come to look at the compliance reports we see the following
Enterprise Compliance report - Machines show 'Unable to find compatible TPM'
In Computer Compliance report for one of these machines , Protector type is TPM+PIN, Protector state is ON, Encryption State is Encrypted yet compliance status is Non-Compliant.
TPM is ON, Initialised and is v1.2
Any suggestions as to why my machines status is non-compliant?

I was having the same problem with some of my Dell Laptop clients and although the Hotfix did solve the problem, I thought it was worth mentioning the first time the client reported back to MABM after installing the hotfix, only the Compliance Status changed
from "Non-Compliant" to "Compliant" and the Compliance Status Details still showed "Unable to find compatible TPM". It took one more reporting cycle for the Compliance Status Details to show "No Error". I
would also like to mention there is no indication of anything wrong with these systems in terms of looking at them via the TPM.msc, MBAM Event Log or WMI Win32_Tpm class/properties. The systems encrypt the drive via MBAM normally...they just don't
report back to the MABM database properly. The computers are running the latest BIOS and I have reset the TPM Security BIOS settings back to their Defaults several times with the same results. Thanks for the hotfix!!!
