HP Laserjet 3050?
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I try to connect my  HP Laserjet to my Dell computer.  I checked under Devices and Printers and found the printer under "unspecifed" but not under Printers. 

 

I can't print a thing. I called Dell and they told me that HP must have drivers to download that would enable me to attach this printer.

 

Can anyone direct me to the correct HP link, please?????????????????

Thanks for your answer and the link.

 

I found the printer under Firmware as HP LaserJet 3050 Update...

 

I downloaded it but the printer is not shown in: Select Printer to Update Menu.

 

As the name of the printer is not shown in the menu, I can't update. I tried to type the name of the printer manually but that didn't work either. :Crying:

 

What should I do now?

 

Please advice.
