ClasicD_72,
It appears that one of our Experts is trying to answer your inquiry on another member's Thread on this subject.
I will comment briefly here and then withdraw.
Commentary
After installing the Full Feature Software, at least in many cases involving Windows 8.1 installs of the printer software, you should see a Printer Assistant shortcut on your Desktop.  You can use the Printer Assistant to access the Scan to Document or Photo software package. 
Although there is a scan program within the hierarchy of many of the Printer software folders, I have not seen an recent instance where the scan program is a stand-alone executable.  In other words, you must call the Scan package from a parent program, even assuming you can find a "Scan" program in Bin or another similar folder.

  • Deskjet 3050 J610 will not install on Mavericks or new Router

    I have had a deskjet 3050 J610 for a couple years and it has worked fine with our MacBook Pro (with the exception of updates) .  We recently restored our MacBook and added Mavericks.  We also have a new netgear modem/router.  We can not connect the printer to our network or to the laptop wirelessly.  Here is what has happened so far after spending hours attempting everything we could find online with no sucess......
    -I can print from the Mac with a USB cable connected to printer
    -I've restored the printers default settings
    -Printed the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows our Network
    It says my HP printer cannot find the access point.
    Everything passed except network name found....this failed
    Network status-Offline
    embedded web server-http://0.0.0.0      I can't even get to the webpage
    network name (SSID)-HPJ610a.0798A0 
    ip address-not applicable
    The blue light for wireless flashes on printer.
    When I go to Wireless Menu it says wireless radio is on.
    My next option is Settings, Under Settings I have Disable, WPS and Defaults.
    Under WPS I get Push Button or PIN......neither worked.
    Printer DOES NOT have a wireless setup wizard!
    I have checked for updates on the Mac and do not have any (Original CD not compatible with Mavericks).  When I go to System Preferences-Print/Scan, it shows the printer as disabled.  I tryed downloading software & drivers from HP's website, but when I go to my Applications menu, there is not an HP folder/icon.
    PLEASE HELP!!  

    Hi,
    Currently a full feature software is not available for your products for Mavericks, however there are some other workarounds to connect the printer to your network.
    Please follow these steps to create a temporary ad-hoc connection and then set the wireless connection through the printer's EWS page:
    On the printer click on Wireless, then select Reset Wireless.
    Turn the printer Off and back On.
    If the wireless light is not blicking, click the wireless button and turn the Wireless Radio On.
    From your Mac click the Wireless icon and then on Join Other Networks.
    Click on Show network and connect to the printer SSID which includes J610 as part of its name.
    Note: Allow 1-2 minutes to fully establish the temporary connection.
    Open Safary, then click the Bonjour menu and select the listed Deskjet 3050.
    Note: if there is no Bonjour option at the top menu, click Safary > Preferences > Advanced and check both of the Include Bonjour options at that screen. click OK and the Bonjour menu will appear.
    Go to Network / Wireless and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your home network.
    On your Mac click the WiFi icon and reconnect the Mac to your home network.
    Now both your Mac and the printer are connected to your network, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking the plus sign.

  • My Deskjet 3050 J610 will not connect to my Virgin WiFi router for use with Apple Mac laptop.

    I live in the UK and have Broadband access via a Virgin connection and WiFi router. My Apple MacBook laptop connects to the WiFi with no difficulties. However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    See if this helps.
    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • I cant find the printer code on my HP deskjet 3050 J610 all-in-one printer

    I have disconnected wireless and turned off printer and turned on and re connected.  I have changed DNS to 8888 and secondary to 8844.  I have printed out 5 Network configuration pages and 4 Printer status reports and NOTHING has the printer code on it. How can I get one?  Thanx,  Anna

    Hi Anna,
    I afraid the Deskjet 3050 (J610) does not support any web service as ePrint or Print Apps.
    Only the Deskjet 3050A (J611) support ePrint as you may find listed below:

  • Deskjet 3050 J610 Wireless Setup Problem - Thinks I'm using MAC filtering

    I just got an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 from my parents, who have never used it.  The ink cartridges were still in their wrappers.  Trying to set it up tonight, and everything was going well until I tried connecting it to the wireless network.
    My router does not have WPS, so I'm having to do this via USB.  The software is able to detect my router's SSID, encryption type, and password.  However, when trying to connect the printer to the router, it fails.  The Wireless Network Test Report claims that it might be because of MAC address filtering.  I double checked my router settings, and I am NOT using MAC filtering at all.  I have not yet tried rebooting everything (Printer, laptop, router), but I am doubtful that will resolve the issue.  For security reasons, I would prefer not to say what security I'm using, but I will say that it IS supported by the printer.
    I'm using Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, and my ISP is Verizon Fios.

    Hi Manjunath, I spent the last hour on that site.  Everything I found was about how to add the printer's MAC address to the router's filter settings.  But I repeat, I am NOT using MAC filtering on my router, but the printer thinks I am.
    Or rather... THOUGHT I was.
    Rebooting the printer and the router helped.  Of course, I did both at the same time, so I'm not sure which one was required, or both, but the long and the short of it is, it works now.

  • COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH SCANNER TO COMPUTER OF DESKJET 3050 j610

    WHEN i TRY TO SCAN USING MY DESKJET 3050 j610 A MESSAGE SHOWS 'COMMUNICATION  PROBLEM NOT CONNECTED THEREFORE i AM NOT ABLE TO SCAN.
     i HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OVER 8 HOURS AND I' M GETTING SICK. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING AVAILABLE ON THE SUPPORT PROGRAMS INCLUDING 'PAINT' AND NOTHING WORKS.
     I NEED A ANSWER OR I;LL THROW THIS THING OUT

    I have the same problem here, i have two PC's both running Windows 7 but only one works printing and scanning wirelessly.
    On the PC running Windows 7 32bit wireless printing and scanning works great.
    On the PC running windows 7 64bit only wireless printing works. Havent found a solution, but just a work around. Here it is......
    1. Got to you printer and hit the Wireless button to find the IP address your router gave it.
    2. Open up your Internet browser and input the IP address.
    and...BAM!!!       if it worked it should take you to the Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610a Embedded Web Server page and from there you can scan with what looks like all the original options if the thing was working to begin with and save to your PC.

  • "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!
    Product Name: HP Deskjet 3050 J610 Printer/Scanner/Copier
    Operating System: Windows 7
    Error Message: The HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series was not found - when trying to scan.

    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.

  • Error when trying to scan from my HP DeskJet 3050 J610 (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore -9929.)

    When trying to use my HP DeskJet 3050 J610 series I get an error (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore -9929.)  It can't scan.  Anyone know how to fix it?

    The error is ICReturnScannerFailedToSelectFunctionalUnit, but I am not sure what that means. Is there an HP disgnostic available? Are the drivers current? Maybe HP has some experience with this error.

  • 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.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 scan does not work with windows 10

    my HP Deskjet 2540 scan does not work with windows 10, however, it still does eprinting. i need the solution and i haven't got it.  

    OK, More information.   Installed Media Portal 1.  This works with the tuner card without additional modification, so this appears to be some kind of issue with the software.  Media Portal 1 does install a different version of Direct X, I don't know if that could have anything to do with it, but HP MediaSmart Live TV still comes up with the same error and will not run.

  • TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • HP deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7

    This procedure is much too complicated for an average user. You know that millions of Wondow XP users are switching to Windows 7. I' sure that most of them are facing similar problems. HP should come with a user friendly solution that solves the above issues. Don't you think?
    My problem remains unsolved.

    Hi dvh,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7.
    Do you see any error messages with the installer? Or does it just close out and doesn't install?
    In the meantime, please try using our HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.
