printer fails after OS 10.8 update

    Hi,

    After an Eircom upgrade to fibre yesterday, my daughter updated her macbook to OS 10.8. Her printer an HP 3050A wireless was working perfectly before, then it failed to respond.

    I downloaded an updated driver from HP.com, Deskjet-3050A-J611_v12.23.0.dmg , installed it as wireless (using the USB cable along the way for the final stage) . It shows up with it's Ip address - no problem.
    However , It says that the ink cartridge is incompatible !!!

    It's the same cartridge it worked with all along :confused:

    Has anybody experience of this ?
    Could HP or Apple has a software issue with this printer driver ?

    puzzled !! and a little :mad:

    Unfortunately, HP printers are notorious for lack of upgrade support. It's almost as if they wanted to force you to buy a new printer. I switched to a Brother laser printer.

    God only knows why - but the thing fixed itself !

    I suspect now that it was by turning the printer/router/macbook off and on again :)

    But I thought that was a Windows thing !


    In any case it now works - problem solved :)
