HP No Longer Supports Deskjet 3050 J610 in Maverick.

I found out today in talking to a HP Customer Service Rep, that they are no longer going to support the HP Deskject 3050 with updated drivers. This is quite unfortunate because this printer is less then 2 years old and is still very functional. In fact, there are a number of apps that require an HP printer only that I won't be able to use any longer (one being Grocery IQ, one of my favs). As a FYI, the printer can still be used plugged in via USB, but I can no longer get it to connect itself to my wireless network. It was working initially with Maverick but I made the mistake of having to change the name of my network for security reasons and when I did that, it wouldn't connect to the network again I literally spent hours trying to get it to work. I un-installed and reinstalled software, etc. The most recent software (downloaded from the Apple website that is suppose to support Maverick) crashes in an attempt to set the printer up. I even tried it on another of my Macs with the same crash problem. I did talk to an Applecare advisor who tried to help me but we weren't successful and that's why I ended up calling HP. Apple was even kind enough to call me back to follow up and the advisor was very surprised at the position HP has taken. I've always been partial to Epson but bought the HP for use in a couple of instances where I needed their printer. Based on this, I won't be purchasing another HP printer any time soon. I wanted to get this out to the Apple Support Community just in case someone else was having the same problems as I was. Reply if you have any questions.
