HP Deskjet 3050 J610a Mac Big Sur Driver

[bt06182]

Hi, 

I am trying to setup a 3050 J610a on a 2020 mac os big sur.

It is recognised on the hp smart app and appears under bonjour but I cannot find a compatible driver, as the last one was updated in 2014 and is no longer compatible.

I have managed to unzip the old files and have found the suitable 3050.plist file but im not sure if this is useful at all?

I have set up printing via my android smartphone, but cant finish the network setup on my mac as it cant recognise the printer on the network, even though I have the correct ip. This model doesnt support airprint or embedded web services but im hoping theres still a posibility of getting it working somehow?

Kind Regards & Merry Xmas,

Gareth

Hi @bt06182,

I'd like to help!

HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for macOS 10.15 is not available from the HP website or Apple Software Update. However, Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) provides open-source basic print drivers for many printers that would otherwise not be supported in Mac OS X. To see if your printer is supported, go to Gutenprint drivers for more information.

NOTE: Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple.

Hope this helps!
