Deskjet 3050 a problem change from USB to wireless

I got a Deskjet 3050 a printer attached via the USB port of my desktop HP Win7 64 bit for a year and a half. Attempts to convert the USB wireless. Instructions lead me the start--> all programs--> HP--> HP Deskjet 3050 J611 series a--> convert USB wireless.

But when I open--> series HP Deskjet 3050 a J611, my only choice is:

Connect a new printer or

Add new software

Nothing on the conversion of wireless USB. If I click 'connect a new printer' I have the choice of:

USB connection

Connection Ethernet / wireless

Connect again later

If I select wireless connection, it tells me to connect the USB cable. It is been connected for more than a year. But the button "Next" is gray and I can't move forward.

If I select USB connection, it tells me to connect the USB cable. It is been connected for a year. The only choices I have are to return to a screen or check a box that says I'll connect it later, not now. I don't have to check but the 'Skip' button is gray and so I'm stuck again. I tried to turn the printer power off and moving the USB cable to the USB port of different desktop and power on printer again. I tried to reset the default printer on the printer control panel. The software does not believe that the USB is connected. This is the case.

I pressed the button on the control panel of the printer wireless. It flashes blue.

I'm usually pretty good with the resolution of this kind of thing, but I'm ready to break this piece of scrap on the ground and dance on his grave. .. .any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Julie,.

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the frustration. Here's what to do to uninstall it, in a more detailed form.

  • Click on the link above to access the driver removal tool.
  • Click on download and run.
  • Click 'Yes' when asked if you want to allow the following program to make changes to the computer.
  • A folder opens, look down and you'll see 'uninstall_l3' - select it.
  • The uninstall is running and restarts your computer.

Now, it is normal to go forward, and then reinstall the printer.

I hope this helps you, let me know how it goes!

  • HP LJ 200 Pro M251nw: M251nw - change from usb or wireless connections

    My company has 4 printers HP Laserjet Pro M251nw 200. All of these printers have been previously configured as USB or wireless.  We now modify the connection for all of the printers for wired networks.

    I already tried uninstalling a wireless printer and reinstalling like wired, but one that results in the computer/printer does not queue jobs.

    What is the best way to change the connections wired to previously installed printers?

    Hello @BBMGRNR,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP and thanks for posting!

    I want to help you with questions that you may have installed your multiple HP LaserJet M251nw computers via a wired connection for Windows 7 computers.

    At any time that you re-install the printer with a different connection type, you run the risk of ending up with multiple instances of the printer in your Devices folder. Just, this tends to create confusion, you might accidentally selecting your previous connection to printer and nothing will be printed.

    What I recommend to do is uninstall the software completely of all calculated, like this you can eliminate confusion for the users of these computers. If you need help on the uninstall process, you can follow the steps described here - HP monofunctional and Printers Multifunction - uninstalling the printer software

    I also recommend to download the latest software, rather than using the original CD. You can download the latest version for your printer in this case - color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers

    I hope this helps!

I tried to use the Setup Wizard, the application of configuration easy wireless, etc and nothing has worked yet. I don't know if I have previously configured something I forgot and need to reset the printer to factory settings or if there is something other that I'm missing (which is not unlikely).

    In the Apple menu, click on Go, selection of applications, utilities, Keychain Access, on the left side, click on passwords, double-click the name of the network, check the show the password box, type your Mac password to see.

    Try the printer configuration using this method:

    Turn it on wireless Direct.

    Go to the configuration menu wireless, direct and turn it on.

    Go to the airport and connect to the network printer.

    Then, type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar of Safari.
    It will load: the printer server Web part, click the network tab, select Setup wireless on the left.

    Fill in all your information. Apply the settings.

    Reconnect your network name.

    Then add the printer on the Mac, because the software is already installed.

    Click on the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
    Scanners & printers, then click the plus sign +.

    Select the printer in the list. (Make sure that the printer is listed beside the use: displays the name of the correct printer and not Airprint) Click the Add button. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select your printer)

    Test the printer.

  • Problems printing from laptop to wireless network

    I've had problems for months now print wirelessly from my laptop to my printer. I use a HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium, and my laptop is a Lenovo. When I click on print a document, I get a warning on my laptop that the driver for the printer is offline. I tried to restart my laptop, disconnect and reconnect to the internet, restarting printer, disconnect and reconnect it to the internet, uninstalling and reinstalling the printer (using the existing driver and replace). Sometimes one of these 'corrections' works, other times not. Tonight I tried to restart the two, reconnect the two and then uninstalled and am trying to reinstall it but my laptop cannot find the printer to install it.

    I am at a total loss. I work from home, sometimes and I bought a wireless printer for the convenience that he cannot stand on my desk next to my laptop to connect to the computer. (Also don't know what happened to the cord for the printer on the laptop, presumingI got with the printer.)

    Both devices say they are connected to the internet. I can test my laptop and the internet connection works fine, don't know how to test the connection of the printer, but it says connected and has an IP etc.

    I also tried disconnecting everything but the computer laptop and wireless network printer, and it won't always connect to print.

    Can anyone offer any fixes? This becomes incredibly frustrating when I sit down to work and fight with the printer for hours.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello KitchenTalesand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you have connectivity problems.  I would like to help.

    I recommend you to perform a power reset. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    Once the reset is complete, I recommend you to unplug your router for 60 seconds, and reconnect power.

    After the restart appropriate time, I would recommend using this document on troubleshooting wireless printing Center.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • W510: problem booting from USB keys

    I tried to start a W510 of various Linux USB key.

    The system does not detect the USB and the boot proceeds to a point, but he fails when he tries to find the media - for example, in the case of the rescue system (v1.6.1) cd, it is looking fo the sysrec.dat file that is located on the USB.

    It seems that the USB device is not visible to the system booted.

    I was able to boot from essentially the same software on a CD.

    I installed the latest BIOS 1.32 without a change in behavior.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong?

  • OfficeJet 6500 - switch from USB to wireless connection?

    Got a new MacBook Pro (OS 10.6 Snow Leopard) and new Officejet 6500 Wireless, installation on old wired eMac (OS x 10.4.11) seemed to go smoothly. Fine prints of eMac/USB connection, but I can't figure out how to go wireless to print from MacBook. (User guide says to use the network printer configuration utility in Device Manager/Info and settings - but that the utility is not listed. I'm pretty sure that the printer is on my network without wire - set - up seemed OK, and the network was recognized immediately during the initial installation (on the eMac), Safari recognizes the printer via Bonjour on the MacBook, etc.. As an experimentI tried to print from MacBook still and you have something like "printer offline".

    Basically I'm a novice at this (and HP technical support is essentially down to the day, so I can't yet begin the session of 3 hours so many people report), any help at all would be appreciated.

    Sonofa...! This is where, under Print > Copies & Pages > page layout. (Not exactly intuitive given that the interface is different for pre - 10.6.) But now, all right. Thank, very much .)

I want to use the USB to connect to the PC work and wireless connection to the network home for the family to share. I can not connect work PC to a home network for security reasons.

    Thank you, Andy

    It is possible. And there is no special measures to do this. Simply follow the Quick Start Guide here you received with the printer to install from USB and wireless connections. Just make sure that you do not print or scan to\from the printer from EVEN of multiple PC TIME! That will cause problems.
