iMac will not print to Deskjet 3050 a

Hello

I'm running an iMac in early 2008 with the operating system upgraded to OS X 10.7.2.  including all updates.  Just bought a Deskjet 3050 a and downloaded the software HP istall to the address on the HP site.

Spent by the installation procedure except when it came to the question "install that Print" it didn't come with the identifier of the printer only.  so I couldn't continue.  Printing of diagnostic said no problems found congratulations on successful installation, etc.  However, even if the printer is connected it will not print.  What can I do?

AHA!  I also noticed you are using a D-Link Extender, which indicates that you don't have a router.  According to your description of your Internet configuration, the device emitting IP (DHCP server) addresses is likely on a device outside your home.

If this is the case, this device is likey to not allow devices to "talk" to each other on his network.

If replace you your range extender with a router and all devices connected to the system should work perfectly.  Thoughts?

  • Computer Vista will not print to Deskjet 930c on home network

    Our three computers (Vista is A, B, and C are XP) are connected to a wired network of private home.  Computer A has a Canon printer that is shared and all 3 computers can print to that very well.  Recently, we re-gasket a printer HP DeskJet 930C to computer B (via USB) and shared.  Computers, B and C can be printed on the HP very well.

    But, even if A computer can see the printer, it will not print.  He seems to accept the print command and sometimes a dialog box flashes on and so quickly as it cannot be read, but nothing prints.

    I worked through the Microsoft article "File and sharing printers in Windows Vista" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#mainSection and you don't see anything that solves the problem.  I ran the doctor of printing & scanning HP and who wrote the 930C is installed but not connected.  According to the website of HP, Vista has the correct driver.  I have uninstalled and installed the printer from computer A, but it still does not work.

    So I called HP Support, and they said that I had done all the right things, and "it must be a registry problem.  This seems unlikely to me, and I don't know where to look in the registry.

    Any ideas or solutions?

    Hello

    Windows XP sharing can be done automatically in XP or operating systems, XP does not host the drivers for the newer Vista operating systems and so you will have problems with some models.

    To manually add the shared printer, follow these steps:

    1. install the printer locally in following second method: connecting the cable in parallel below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01655752

    2. go into your PC host (computer B), right click my computer and select Properties.

    Find the name of computer on this screen.

    3. go in Control Panel > printers and faxes.

    Right-click on the printer and select Properties.

    Open the tab end hand note the share name

    Note: I would say keeping the name of sharing as simple as possible (e.g., 930C)

    4. go to your Vista machine and open Control Panel > printers.

    Click with the right button on the 930c configured in step 1 and select Properties.

    Open the Ports tab.

    Click Add a new port.

    In this list, select Local Port.

    Set the local port in the form of \\Computer B Name\Printer share name (for example \\PC-P\930c).

    Confirm the changes and check any change.

    If you have still any question, I would say that the printer is connected to the Vista machine, then share it with the XP PC and check for any changes that should run more easily from my experience.

  • DeskJet 940c: new 78xl cartridge will not print on Deskjet 940c

    bought 78xl tricolor cartridge.  Have only used the 78 before regular.  New cartridge will not print.  Replaced by the old cartridge - printed perfectly.  When I opened the printer, the cartridges for the little happy face moving, I have not a clue as to what is happening.  I would simply return this cartridge?  The 78xl is compatible with the 940 c?  15 black continues to print well.

    ARGHHHH.  Help, please...

    Hey @JaniBee ,

    Yes I recommend you return the faulty new cartridge and replace it! If you buy the new cartridge and it fails well then let me know and we can look at the printer and excludes a faulty cartridge error.

    Get back to me and let me know! Have a great day and a wonderful holiday season!

  • ePrint does not print the deskjet 3050 a spare

    I have deskjet 3050 a and unable to print attachments. text is ok but no pdf, excel, photos etc after research I know that the pdf files is not oversized.help please

    Hi there, if you try to print from a laptop to the printer you need not send attachments e-mail to the e-mail address of printers, you can simply print via regular HP printer software driver. DJ 3050 has installed on the laptop? If not, here is a link to where you can download Windows 8 driver for your system, simply select the correct option (32 or 64 bit) for your operating system http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5061092&

    If you want to be able to print from the laptop to the printer when the devices are not on the same network or if you do not want to install the product software, you have the option to install the software driver ePrint. This will allow you to print files from applications on your laptop (Adobe, MS Office, etc.) to your printer ePrint enabled even when they are on different networks. See this link for more information and a download link

    Hope this information helps.

  • Index cards will not print to Deskjet F4480

    I'm running OS X 10.6.7. I use a HP Deskjet F4480 all-in-one printer.

    I am trying to print on 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 cards, and even if the printer recognizes these sizes, it does not print on the cards correctly. Instead, he spits them simply white.

    I had to go to work today before I could try the same size of page in another program. Everything that I tried this on is Word 2011. Using a simple program like TextEdit can produce better results? What should I try?

    lamcqueen-

    What are the settings in the Page layout Word box?  The settings are applied to the "Format for: any printer" or your Deskjet F4480?

    Does anyone else have any other thoughts? -Randy

  • iMac will not print correctly to Photosmart 2610xi

    I am running Snow Leopard and tried to install the original software using the CD for the printer so I can use the scan features. That did not work, so I went and downloaded the latest software suite on the site of HP for Snow Leopard. The printer responds, but the stalls and then prints a line of nonsense, then keeps continuous and ongoing. I have to stop the print job to stop smoking. Other computers on my home network print on the printer fine (Windows machines).

    I also tried the uninstall of the software suite, remove the printer and add it again. Nothing has worked. I get an error when you install the printer on the iMac that some of the software of the printer is missing and it may not work. Available at HP software installation does not solve anything.

    The software from the remnants of left of CD in your system that the standard uninstall program did not remove.  Reinstall the software from the CD, and then remove it with the option "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now run a software update.

    Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

    You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

  • Scanner will not connect to my printer HP deskjet 3050

    I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-One series, scanner copier J611 a.  My operating system is Vista 64.  I received the error message is "Scanner not connected to the computer."  Everything worked, and then all of a sudden the scanner no longer works (print and copy of the works).  I tried to use the printing HP and Dr. Scan to try to solve the problems, but it did not help.  I also tried other solutions I found on the HP site.  Finally, I just uninstalled and reinstalled.  It did not help.  I can still print and copy but will not scan.  I need the scanner, more than anything I have an another printer/copier HP that I can use.

    I tried to analyze using the Wi - Fi connection but couldn't. I have not tried to use MS Paint. I saw in another thread, the proposition that, using a key USB cable might work and I tried it and it worked. It's a little embarrassing, but the key is that I can scan now. Thank you very much.

  • HP Deskjet F2210 printer will not print my documents with the exception of my e-mail highlighted

    HP Deskjet F2210 printer will not print my documents with the exception of my e-mail address highlighted who is on the document, it is not cartrages, as it will print one page black and multicolor of the internet. Help, please.

    If you found problems with print quality with the only printer without printing from the computer, then it is a hardware problem.

    You may need to contact HP (1800-474-6836) support. Looks like a print head may be bad or needs to be cleaned manually. I don't think that this printer has a detachable printhead to clean manually.

  • Printer HP Deskjet 3050 a: decrease the size of the font in Deskjet 5030

    I'm changing the font size to a smaller size on a printer HP Deskjet 3050 has J611g.  My printer was printing to the appropriate size.  Suddenly, on a project he printed normall until it came to the last page, the date on which the font size became so great that only 1 or 2 letters would take on the page.  The next time I tried, each page was so great that only a few letters were on the page.  I don't know if I accidentally hit something or changed a setting that I should not have done, but I have no idea how to make to make it smaller.

    I tried Googling with the search term: how to change the size of the font on the printer HP Deskjet 305 a.  Almost all terms had to do with the increase in the size of the font.  I have quoted me a procedure on the eHow site, but it does not seem to apply to this particular model.

    I also tried to search the HP website problems.  Again, it would either mean that no search term

    has been found or each question had to do with the increase in font size.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have an important document to print, and I already spent two hours trying to solve this problem.  With my luck, it will prove to be something simple!

    Sorry only you know which software you use to print. When you select PRINT, this is the printer control software. You need to know how to find the font size and decrease and make sure that you are not in any type of "zoom" mode.

  • I tried to buy my book - DEFAULT TEXT - your book seems to have default text that has not been modified. Printed books will not include this text. This means all my text will not print?

    Using OSX El captain on a desktop iMac. iPhoto 9.6.1

    I tried to buy my book - this box appears - TEXT by DEFAULT - your book seems to have default text that has not been modified. Printed books will not include this text. Does this mean that all my text will not print?

    I've been twice now and change the text of Bradley Hand to the Blackboard to Helvetica Neue - which seemed to be the default. Message remains displayed. I don't know what else to do. This is my third book over the years, but the first with this problem. Can someone advise please?

    Thank you Davina

    It is not a problem of fonts. It is the problem of the sample text entered by the models.

    The error message means that there is a text field in your book which is still on show at the text included by the model, and you will need to replace this text with your text. This textfield might be hidden behind a picture.

    If you create a preview of the book, such default text is omitted. Have you compared the preview of what you see in iPhoto? Text that shows in iPhoto, but not in the preview will be such default text.

    For example, the section 'Topic of this book' on the flap back in some themes is a default text that should be replaced by your own legend:

    After the update to el Capitan my iMac will not be asleep. I put it to sleep and turn off the mouse and keyboard that goes with it, and 5-10 minutes later, he wakes up on his own. Now, I have to stop it after use and each time only. The Major pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please test after taking each of the steps that you have already tried:

    Step 1

    Take all of the measures suggested in this support article, including those under the title "If the previous steps do not work." It is the starting point for a new effort to solve the problem.

  • Series 6510 Photosmart will not print at all, or very light ink, after the installation of the Mavericks

    21/01/14 hi support community - after having installed the Mavericks a few weeks ago, I can no longer print to my HP Photosmart 6510 of any of my devices Mac: MacBook Air, iMac, or iPad.  The printer acts like it is printing, even if the result is either no impression on the page or something almost too small to see, with weird colors. I replaced all ink cartridges.   I was on MAC support forums and have done everything suggested, i.e. reinstall the printer, reset the printer, so that reset each device.  The printer will not print a test page.

    I need to use my printer.  Help please!  Thanks, Bonnie

    RESOLVED (I think).  After posting my question, I continued to search for possible answers.  After starting from scratch, I followed the instructions and others have left regarding the problems of scanning.  Seems that whatever it either which has interfered with printing can also lead to the (logical) scanning.  I have no idea what exactly 'fixed' my printing problem even if at the moment everything seems to work.  (I did not scan anything - and this time not afraid of)

    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to write clear troubleshooting advice for us non-tech people who have to find out things about ourselves.   Bonnie 12:30, 21/01/14
