HP Deskjet 3050 Ink Cartridges
(and other items)

We do stock both the black HP 301 cartridge and the colour HP 301 cartridge separately. Please see the following link to our website for the black cartridge, http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/CH561EE.html and the colour cartridge can be found on the following page, http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/CH562EE.html

According to HP's website, this printer should work with Windows 7. However, I'm unable to confirm this. For full information about the system requirements of this printer please see the section on Connectivity on HP's website below, http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF06b/18972-18972-238444-410635-410635-4066450-4125690.html.

Unfortunately, HP do not provide the capacity of these cartridges in ml, but do advise that the HP 301XL black should achieve approximately 480 pages at 5% coverage and the HP 301XL colour should achieve about 330 pages at 5% coverage.

The HP Deskjet 3050 requires that two cartridges be installed to print in full colour.There are four genuine cartridges to choose from but you must have one black ink and one tri-colour ink cartridge installed in order to print. Depending on the capacity you require the cartridges you must use are either the HP 301 black or the high capacity black 301XL. The colour cartridge you need is either the HP 301 colour or the high capacity colour 301XL.

Unfortunately, we only stock genuine HP 301 / 301XL cartridges so we do not sell compatible cartridges for the HP Deskjet 3050 printer.

We are currently only able to ship orders to locations within the UK and all items on our website are only compatible with printers purchased in the UK.

The HP 301 cartridges are compatible with the HP Deskjet 3050, however they are only designed for use in printers purchased within the UK. Like DVDs, cartridges have region codes dependent on where the printer was purchased, for example a HP Deskjet 3050 purchased in America will require different cartridges to the same printer purchased in the UK.

To be sure that you are ordering cartridges which will be compatible with your printer, you need to order a cartridge with the same number as the cartridges you have removed from the printer. Therefore, you will need to purchase a HP 61 cartridge.

You may struggle to obtain non-UK cartridges in the UK, I would recommend doing a Google search for this cartridge number to find any companies that can supply it, or alternatively if you contact HP directly they should be able to help further. HP may even be able to help change the region of your printer. For information on how to contact HP, please see the link below to their website:

No, the HP Deskjet 3050 uses HP 301 / 301XL cartridges, not the HP 300XL's. However, the HP 300XL ink cartridges are compatible with a wide range of HP printers provided that they were purchased in the UK. Please follow the link below to view a list of printers that use these cartridges:

NOTE - we cannot guarantee that all printers that use these cartridges will be listed.

Unfortunately, we are unable to advise how to do this on each printer. However, there are normally two different ways of checking the ink level; when you print, there should be a display showing how much ink is left in each cartridge. Additionally, there should be full instructions on how to do this in your printer manual. If you no longer have the manual for this printer, this can be downloaded from HP's website:

I am sorry to hear about the problems you have experienced with your cartridges. The HP 301 black cartridge is expected to achieve approximately 190 pages at a 5% coverage, this is about 3 or 4 lines of text on an A4 page. As soon as you are printing more than this, the number of pages you can expect to achieve will decrease. Depending on what you have been printing, it is possible that the cartridge has been used to full capacity.

If you do a lot of printing, it might be worth investing in the higher capacity HP 301XL cartridge, HP advise that you should achieve over twice as many prints with this cartridge when compared to the standard HP 301 cartridge without paying twice as much. Please follow this link for the high capacity black HP 301XL ink from Cartridge Save: http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/CH563EE.html

Unfortunately, we are unable to advise on how to remove and install Deskjet cartridges.

The cartridges should come out of the printer quite easily.

You may need to refer to your printer manual or contact HP directly.

As we are only a supplier of consumable items for printers we are unable to provide this information. I have attached a link below to the HP website where you should be able to find this information:

No, these are not the correct cartridges for your printer, the cartridges that you require are the HP 301 or HP 301XL.

Please see the ink cartridges listed at the top of this page.

Most printers will require both cartridges to be installed in order to function. Simply try removing the colour cartridge and printing a page. Your printer will report an error if this is not possible.

A HP 61 cartridge suggests that the printer is not a UK model. If this is the case, none of the cartridges we supply will be compatible with your machine.

Unfortunately, we cannot advise on how to replace the cartridges in this printer, but there are instructions on how to do this in your printer manual in the "How Do I?" section, please see the link below for more information:

The instructions to isntall a cartridge should be in your manual. If you no longer have this manual you can get on on the HP support page:

It sounds like the printer is not a UK model. We only supply cartridges for use within UK printers.

Thank you for your question.

Thanks for your question, yes, these machines both take the same cartridges which are the 301 or 301XL.
