Reconnect wireless printer - Deskjet 3050

Hi,
I've got the deskjet 3050 printer, i succesfully installed and connected my printer to my home network. I've now moved down to uni and i've got a new router. I was just wondering how do i reconnect my printer to this new network. I tried the "update IP address" tool but i don't know the IP address.
Please can somebody help me. Thanks
Kin.

Don;t worry, i just installed the exisiting the drivers and reinstalled them!
Could someone please tell me how to do it in the future. How do i find out the IP address to for the "update ip address" tool?

AIO Remote wont recognize my network printer deskjet 3050

AIO remote app (IOS) did not recognize my network printer (Deskjet 3050), other apps (printer pro lite) did recognize the printer flawlessly, both the printer and the iphone are in the same network, I can print from my PC and my mac but not from AIO remote app (not even recognize the printer).
Can you help me?

Hello MrCrysis,
With the Printer Pro Lite app working to printer, this is excellent to hear. Although this is not an HP app. So to explain as to why the AiO Remote app is not recognizing your printer, and not being able to scan. Your printer does not have AirPrint capabilities according to the 'HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) and 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications'. AirPrint is a requirement for the HP AiO Remote app to work, and because the printer does not have AirPrint the app can not see the printer.

My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam.
Best regards,
erico

Wireless printing on 3050 via BT home hub

Please can someone help me, I have spend hours and read every line of every booklet that I have been given and don't understand what to do!!!
I want to print wirelessly from my new HP Deskjet 3050. Apparently I can't do this directly with my laptop I need to do it via my BT router. Fine.... so on the printer i have pressed wireless/wps and I get 2 options. 1. Push Button and 2. PIN.
1. Push Button... I don't seem to have a WPS button on my router.
2. PIN... I have no ability to enter a pin into my router. Unless I do this via a web site but how do I know?
Have tried both options but just times out. I have a wireless assocaition button on my hub but that didn't seem to work so might be wrong thing?
I haev printed out my wireless test report and it says I nned to check my access point is powered on, and my SSID name matches my access point network name. WHAT does that meant and where do look to check.
I am using a mac with snow leopard.
Thank for help in advance!!!

To use WPS, both the printer and router have to have the feature. I don't believe your BT router has WPS.
So, you will have to download the latest software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Run the installer but make sure your printer is not plugged into your Mac via USB. The software will eventually ask you to connect it via USB temporarily so the software can describe your network to your printer, but wait until it asks.

Cannot find wireless printer, Deskjet 2540 after we got a new internet provider

I turned off the laptop, my ipad, my printer, even my router, still doesn't work. I went on the HP SCAN AND PRINT DOCTOR, it kept saying that cannot find printer. Then I deleted the printer in my computer HARDWARE, try to search for the printer, it says cannot find printer.
I went on my ipad, my printer has a lock on it. But I don't know the password.
Look like my printer still connected to the old net work.
The printer work if it is connected to the USB cable.
What should I do?

Seems like the network has a password, or something along those lines, no? Maybe try restoring the printer to defaults to get that old password out of it if you cant rememeber it, adn then try connecting again.

Deskjet 3050 J610a - Unexpected wireless connection problem.

Running:
MacOSX 10.7.4
HP Software: HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.17
Printer: Deskjet 3050 J610a had been working perfectly through wireless connection from a
MacBook5,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, while I had been using HP Software HP_Installer_DJF4100_v9.7.1, that was *not* meant for this printer, but I could 'ADD" the printer Deskjet 3050 via System Preferences, through HP Socket,
Looking [unwisely] for a more "functional" configuration, I looked up HP support and found that a specific software had been released for computers running "Lion".
So I uninstalled the previous DJF4100 software, restarted the computer, and installed the new software and drivers for Lion as indicated above.
Now the printer Deskjet 3050 J610a shows up in the computer's network under 'Devices" as
"HPJ610a.047DED", Network Type:Computer-to-Computer. It is also detected with "
Security:None", whereas my whole home Wi-Fi network is encrypted with WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I could of course regress to the previous software and configuration, but before doing that I would like to understand why this new software that has been released by HP for Mac computers running Lion is behaving in such a way, why the printer shows as a stand alone device (which it never did before).
As I said, before I regress to the previous configuration, using a software that originally is not the one required by the printer, neither by the computer's operating system, I welcome all information and suggestions.
I need that wireless connection!
Thanks in advance.

How come my Deskjet 3050 wont print wirelessly?

Alright so here's the problem.
First of all I just bought a Deskjet 3050 All-In-One J610 Series printer on ebay. It came today and I tried to set it up wirelessly and through the USB. It works fine with the the laptop (we use it as a home computer) its a Windows Vista 64-bit.
Now everytime when the printer is not connected to our router, it shows up on the little connect to wireless networks on this computer, my netbook, and my Ipod Touch. But whenever i connect it to the router via WPS and via PIN number, it doesnt show it up on anywhere. I tried to do the setup on screen instructions CD but it says that it is connected but its not showing up or something and it says that I have to connect with the printer's IP address. And it said something about a warning saying that if you connect it like this, then if the ip address changes i would have to do a bunch of crap that i dont feel like doing.
Is there any possible way that i can fix this???? i would love to print stuff from my netbook.

Hello lake5pilot
If you have not already please try the following article. It should help with the issue. Especially the part in the guide where you set a static IP on the printer. Even upon reconnecting it should stay the same. I hope it works well for you.

My hp wireless deskjet 3050 all in one printer won't recognize my laptop anymore

When I try to print from my HP Deskjet 3050 wireless printer nothing happens. However, I can print from my desktop which is also wireless with this printer. It has been fine for months, now all of a sudden it just doesn't seem to recognize my laptop. When I go to Troubleshoot HP, it says to contact my network administrator. I don't even know how to do that!! I know my wireless connection is on because it works with my other computer. I have tried turning everything off...rebooting everthing....and it still fails. Please hlep me! I did print a network configuration page which said that no problems were found. Also my router is a Cisco linksys E1000.

"The HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series was not found." Can't scan with wireless printer to desktop. Help

Our new wireless printer will not scan. I have tried to scan from the computer and get the below error message and then I have activated the scan from printer and when I push the scan button on the printer, I get the same error message.
Thanks!

I had some problem. I found you must use HP 'Update IP address' program to add printer instead use window add printer. All programs -> HP ->HP Deskjet 3050 610 series -> Update IP address.

I have a hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer how can i setup for wireless printing my os is windows7.

how do i setup my hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer for wireless printing my operating system is windows7

Unplug the USB cable. Now go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Deskjet 3050 > Add a Device. Run the program and choose Wireless as the installation type.
Follow the directions. It will ask you to connect a USB cable temporarily. Do not connect until it asks and remove it when it tells you.
Finally, when you are done, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the USB instance of the printer so you don't get confused when printing.

Deskjet 3050 no longer printing wireless or wired

I have an HP Envy widows 8. and deskjet 3050 J610a and it no longer prints. I keep getting an error message :"Unable to Communicate with Printer". it worked just great a couple days ago and nothing has changed since then other than it stopped printing. Can i talk with an HP customer support person somehow?

Hi nikki879,
Here is a way you can connect the printer to your router:
-Restore network defaults inside the wireless menu on the printer front panel.
-From your computer, connect wireless to the printer's network (it should be a name similar to HP-Setup-xx-Deskjet 3050A J611).
-After successfully connecting to the printer, open your web browser and type in 192.168.223.1 in the addressbar and press enter.
-Click on Wireless Setup Wizard
-Select your router and enter the password to connect the printer to the router.
Rerun the printer software from your computer to rediscover the printer over the network.

Deskjet 3050 j610a - New router; no longer can print wireless.

Hi all. Am 66 & new to computers and forums. I'll try to be brief, but I want to describe my problem as accurately as possible. I have a Toshiba C655 Satellite laptop, HP3050 j610a wireless printer, Windows 7 – 32bit OS and Google Chrome is my browser. For the past 2 years I've had no problem printing wireless with my Westell 7500 router. Then my ISP (Verizon) gave me a D-Link 2750B. My laptop connects with the internet over my wireless network fine now, but printing is only possible via USB.
The error message reads: “Your printer failed to join the wireless network – Mac address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router”. (I checked & it is not). I then printed a Wireless Network Test Report and the header reads: “Your HP printer cannot find your access point. Check that your access point is powered on. Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your access point network name (SSID) exactly. If they don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer”. In addition, under Diagnostics Summary it reads: “Network Name (SSID) Found = FAIL”.
What I've attempted so far: Uninstall & reinstall all HP software (Via hp website), power cycle router & printer, hard reset printer to factory settings, looked inside router & all seems OK. I did a Google search of this problem and got more confusing and complicated explanations than I was looking for...all the way down to subnet masks; whatever that is. I'm at the point now (and please correct me if I'm on the wrong path) I feel I should be trying to manually put the network info into the printer or obtain a printer IP; neither of which I know how to do. Is there a way to look inside my printer settings the same as I look inside my router settings...and how?
I feel this has gotten way more complicated than necessary and I am probably overlooking the obvious here. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but please reply to me as if I were in the 3rd grade ! (Although a 3rd grader would probably have figured this out already) !
Thanks,
Larry

OK,PrintDoc, I followed your instructions to the letter....although I had gone there many times before. If you want, I can list each and every step, but to summarize: Message says, 'software installed successfully", I allowed Network Setup to retrieve my wireless settings (by the way my security is WPA2[AES] ) then the green 'loading' bar for 'setting up printer on network'.
THIS is the where I get to the point at which I get the error message: "Your printer failed to join the wireless network". (Tried both letting the program retrieve the settings, as well as entering them manually).
I did, however, notice one thing different this time: Where the icon of my laptop showed under devices, this time there was an '!' enclosed in a triangle, indicating some problem. I opened it up and ran the Troubleshooter, and received the following messages: "Device driver software was not successfully installed, *No driver found, Problem not fixed". I remember seeing this once before in my numerous attempts to get my printer on the network.
However, a previous message said the software WAS, in fact, installed successfully....and when I took a look at my installed programs, it sure looked like it was.
Once again, a big 'thank you'.
Larry

Deskjet 3050 wireless connection trauma

Hi, my Deskjet 3050 has stopped working over the wireless network and I'm stumped. It was working fine, but has now stopped. My laptop is connected to the home router (BT) and the printer is also connected to the same router (according to the router config page), but I can't connect to print. I've gone back to the beginning and re-installed the printer and all drivers and software, I can print with a USB, I can transfer wireless config details via USB, but I still can't print wirelessly. Help?

Hi PG-PG,
I understand that you are having a problem with getting the printer working on your wireless network. I will try my best to help you resolve this. I suggest power cycling your network.
How to power cycle network
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4.Turn off the computer.
5.Wait 30 seconds.
6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
8.Turn the computer back on.
9.Wait for the computer to reload.
10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
11.Turn the printer back on.
If this does not resolve the issue then I suggest setting a Static IP Address. In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection has steps for setting that up.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.
