HP 3050: HP 3050 print - wireless Mac

I realize I'm very, very stupid, but need help please!

I have a HP 3050 for a while now and it's always worked flawlessly with my PC. I just traded on a Mac... and that is the question - I know that my problem lies in the understanding of my Mac!

I can't work on how to get my Mac to print wireless.

I added the drivers via a wired / USB connection and it works / prints fine, however, how connect the Macbook Air (Yosemite X) to the wireless printer please?

My Mac and printer are both connected to the wireless network. I need my old Windows PC to continue to work with the printer also.

I have the impression that AirPrint do smart stuff, but this isn't for me.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    You see the light on the printer as a blue wireless or the lighe flashes?

    If the led blinks, this means that the printer is disconnected from the network.

    Hello hollywodBDA

    I work on the assumption that you are running Windows 7 that you have not specified a operating system that you are running. I will give you is a called HP support document: troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access (Windows 7). If you are not running Windows 7 just Google search "Troubleshooting your wireless network connection" and Internet and pick the one with your operating system. Now, this document should help you identify what is happening on this is the cause of your network to go down. It is not a coincidence that you lose the connection to your printer when your network goes down that it communicates on the network. Think of it as a phone line, you talk to someone to say New York, and the telephone system breaks down. It is not a problem with the person you're talking to New York, but the network which has cut off the communication.

    Now, this does not mean that a printer can't get a network, it is just unlikely. I would consider the most obvious causes such as computers on the network and even the router itself.

    If you want to identify which device is take them down to remove network devices one at a time until the problem stops and/or Exchange on to see which is causing the problem.

    I hope that this will lead you to the solution on what take down your network. Thanks for posting this topic on the Forums of HP feel free to re-post if you still need help. Have a nice day

  • Printing from MAC for Deskjet 3050 ALL in one J611n - printer "Not connected" error message

    Good afternoon

    I have problems printing my MAC Book Pro to the printer above.  I said that it is not connected and prints However, when I checked status it shws Networkas "Ready" and the connection as "active"? He doesn't seem to know if it is or isn't?

    I had this problem before on occasions, but now it is a permanent one after upgrading my operating system to 'Maverick '. Now, I have what you call love at first sight bridge on my MAC and don't know what it is for! This has something to do with it? Love at first sight does not appear connected either?

    It's a real pain and I think to get rid of my printer without wire-HELP!

    In addition to the above, I noticed the following error message when I try to print:

    Device status: unknown

    I.D. service: unknown

    I.W Version: unknown

    Serial number: unknown

    Driver version: 2.3.1 HP inkjet driver (why this displays when it's a Deskjet 3050 J611n?)

    Product number: unknown

    Watch the device Staus and office as "Unknown".

    3rd update me! In the HP utility is see two printers?  The other has all the full details above with serial numbers and all the info. Watch Staus 'idle' and our 'good '.

    Tracy

    I see that I had 20 veiws and no answer!

    I am new to Mac and not very techno, however I seem to have solved this problem myself.

    I think that after turning to 'Maverick' on my Mac OS Lion, duplicate the printer as 2 showed in 'utility '.

    "I basically deleted that was not'online ' or 'connected '.

    Problem solved!

  • DeskJet 3050 j610a - new router; no longer can print wireless.

    Hi all. Am 66 & new to computers and the forums. I'll try to be brief, but I want to describe my problem as precisely as possible. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C655, HP3050 j610a printer wireless, Windows 7, 32 bit OS and Google Chrome is my browser. For the past 2 years I had wireless printing problem with my Westell 7500 router. Then my ISP (Verizon) gave me a D-Link 2750 B. My laptop connected to the internet via my wireless right now, but the impression is only possible via the USB port.

    Reads the error message: "your printer could not join the wireless network - Mac address filtering can be enabled on your wireless router. (I checked & it is not). Then I printed a wireless network Test report and the header reads as follows: "your HP printer cannot find your access point. Verify that your access point is turned on. Make sure that your network (SSID) HP printer name exactly matches your network name of the access point (SSID). If they do not exactly match, run wireless network setup to set up your HP printer. In addition, under the Diagnostics summary, it reads: 'Network Name (SSID) Found = FAIL.

    What I've tried so far: uninstall & reinstall all of the HP software (Via the website of hp), router cycle power & printer, printer reset to factory, looked inside the router & all seems OK. I did a search on Google for this problem and got more confusing and complicated explanation I was looking for... all the way to subnet masks; whatever it may be. I'm at the point now (and please correct me if I'm on the wrong way) I think I should try manually turn on the network news in the printer or get an IP printer. Neither of which I know how to do.  Is there a way to look inside my printer settings I look inside my router settings... and how?

    In my opinion, it has become much more complicated than necessary and I'm probably overlooking the obvious here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please respond to me as if I was in 3rd grade! (Although as a student of 3rd would probably have figured this out already)!

    Thank you

    Larry

    You can look in the printer for the first time after it has been reset only.

    On the front of the printer: Wireless > default settings.  Now, on your PC connect wireless network printer that starts with "HP."... »

    Print a network Test Wireless in the menu on the front of the printer wireless to get its IP address.  Type the address in the browser address bar to reveal the internal settings of the printer.

    Go to control panel of configuration, devices, and printer and in the menu bar above, select Add a printer in the lower option, select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.

    There should be another window that shows all available printers to be added. See if your wireless network printer can be found. If so, select this option and continue the process.
