hp deskjet 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J6
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

After I updated / downloaded Windows 10 on my laptop, I can't connect to my printer; it is not even showing up as an option in Windows, even after I did a Windows UPDATE to search for my HP. How do I download a new driver? Is a new driver available for my HP DESKJET 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 SERIES PRINTER? Please don't tell me I need to buy a new printer...

 

Thank you!

It WORKED! Thank you for the link - the download went very smoothly and my printer is now happily accepting print jobs.

This did not work on my computer. I bought a new asus laptop and it's on windows 10. The driver does not help. I can't scan. It says  "Computer not found. Ensure the HP software has been installed on the computer".

 

I can't tell how annoying this is. Going to the exam and then this problem with the printer. I'm not sure I'll buy a HP printer again.
