Q: Help - I can't set up my HP Deskjet 3050a j611 wireless printer.
Help - I can't set up my HP Deskjet 3050a j611 wireless printer to work wirelessly from my brand new MacBook Pro and I've lost the original installation CDs that came with the printer. It used to work perfectly on my windows laptop and still does from my iPad.
I have just purchased a MacBook Pro notebook (June 2014) and I've downloaded drivers from the Apple site (they are dated October 2013) but when trying to set up it's not finding the printer. however, I did try setting it up using the IP address and it will then communicate with the printer in that I can send a test page but that is all it will do. I am sure I still need to download something else to solve the problem ! I've lost the original printer CD and can't find any other software or drivers on line. Can anyone help me please as I have never used a Macbook before and so I'm not sure what else I can do and I really need a printer that works !!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
