Welcome to the HP forums!
 
I see you have a Deskjet 3050 that is stuck in MFG mode and the front panel seems to be unresponsive. I will do my best to assist you.
 
Normally, I would suggest that you try to restore the printer to it's defaults, but because the buttons are unresponsive I am going to send you instructions for a reset. I just sent you a private message. If you are not sure how to check your forum messages  this post, has instructions.
 
Let me know if you require any further assistance.
 
If this helps show appreciation for my reply by hitting the “thumbs up” below, or click the "Accept as Solution" button if I have helped you reach a solution.
 

I hope this helps, and have a great day.
