You can choose to keep or delete the USB printer icon. Connect to additional computers on a network You can share the HP Deskjet with other computers which are also connected to your home network. If the HP Deskjet is already connected to your home network and installed on a network computer, for each additional computer you only need to install the HP Deskjet software. During the software installation, the software will automatically discover the HP Deskjet over the network. Since the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network, you do not need to configure it again when installing the HP Deskjet software on additional computers. Wireless setup tips

• • If you have a wireless router with a WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) button, press the button during initial setup to connect wirelessly to your printer. See the router documentation to determine if your router has a WPS button.
• • When a wireless connection between the HP Deskjet and the wireless router is successful, the blue wireless light on the printer will turn on and stay on. If your router does not support WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) or WPS does not successfully connect, the software installation will guide you through getting a wireless connection for the HP Deskjet.

English If you first install the HP Deskjet with a USB connection, you can later change it to a wireless network connection. Find more information English For setup information, see the Setup Guide.

English Windows: Network troubleshooting The product cannot be found during software installation If the HP software is unable to find your product on the network during software installation, try the following troubleshooting steps. English Wireless connections 1: Determine if the product is connected to the network by pressing the Wireless button. If the printer has been idle, you may need to press the wireless button twice to display the wireless menu. If the printer is connected, you will see the IP address (for example, 192.168.0.3) on the printer display. If the printer in not connected, you will see Not Connected on the printer display. From the printer display, select Print Reports to print the network test page and the network information page. 2: If you determined in Step 1 that the product is not connected to a network and this is the first time you are installing the product, you will need to follow the on-screen instructions during software installation to connect the product to the network. To connect the product to a network

1. Insert the product Software CD in the computer CD/DVD drive.

2. Follow the instructions on the computer screen. On the Connection Choice screen, choose Network. Then when

prompted, temporarily connect a USB cable between your network connected computer and printer to establish a connection. If the connection fails, follow the prompts to correct the problem, and then try again. 3. When the setup is finished, you will be prompted to disconnect the USB cable and test the wireless network connection. Once the product connects successfully to the network, install the software on each computer that will use the product over the network. If the device is unable to join your network, check for these common issues:

• • You might have picked the wrong network or typed in your network name (SSID) incorrectly. Check and make sure that you enter the same SSID as the computer is using.
• • You might have typed in your wireless password (WPA passphrase or WEP key) incorrectly (if you are using encryption). Note: If the network name or the wireless password are not found automatically during installation, and if you don’t know them, you can download an application from www.hp.com/go/networksetup that might help you locate them. This application works for only Windows Internet Explorer and is only available in English.
• • You might have a router problem. Try restarting both the product and the router by turning off the power for each of them, and then on again.

Network troubleshooting 3: Check for and resolve the following possible conditions:

• • Your computer might be connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Temporarily disable the VPN before proceeding with the installation. Being connected to a VPN is like being on a different network; you will need to disconnect the VPN to access the product over the home network.
• • Security software might be causing problems. Security software installed on your computer is designed to protect your computer against threats that can come from outside your home network. A security software suite can contain different types of software such as an anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and child protection applications. Firewalls can block communication between devices connected on the home network and can cause problems when using devices like network printers and scanners. Problems you might see includes: - The printer cannot be found over the network when installing the printer software. - You suddenly can’t print to the printer even though you could the day before. - The printer shows that it is OFFLINE in the printer and faxes folder. - The software shows the printer status is “disconnected” even though the printer is connected to the network. - If you have an All-in-One, some functions work, like print and others don’t, like scan. A quick troubleshooting technique is to disable your firewall and check if the problem goes away. Here are some basic guidelines for using security software: - If your firewall has a setting called trusted zone, use it when your computer is connected to your home network. - Keep your firewall up to date. Many security software vendors provide updates which correct known issues. - If your firewall has a setting to not show alert messages, you should disable it. When installing the HP software and using the HP printer, you may see alert messages from your firewall software. Your should allow any HP software which causes an alert. The alert message may provide options to allow, permit or unblock. Also, if ther alert has a remember this action or create a rule for this selection, make sure and select it. This is how the firewall learns what can be trusted on your home network. Windows only Other network problems after software installation If the HP Deskjet has been successfully installed, and you are experiencing problems such as not being able to print, try the following:
• • Turn off the router, product, and computer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first, then the product, and finally the computer. Sometimes, cycling the power will recover a network communication issue.
• • If the previous step does not solve the problem and you have successfully installed the HP Deskjet Software on your computer, run the Network Diagnostic Utility. To locate the Network Diagnostic tool Go to the electronic Help: Start > Programs or All Programs > HP > HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series > Help. In the electronic Help, search for Networking. Then click on the link provided to go online for the Network Diagnostics Tool.

• • Your computer might not be connected to your network. Make sure that the computer is connected to the same network to which the HP Deskjet is connected. If you are connected wirelessly, for example, it is possible that your computer is connected to a neighbor’s network by mistake. HP printer limited warranty statement Español
