• According to HP's website, this printer should work with Windows 7, however I am 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 the 5% coverage.

could you tell me how many cartridges the printer needs, please? hp deskjet 3050.

• Your printer requires two cartridges; a black and a colour. The cartridges your need, provided that the printer was purchased in the UK, are the HP 301 black or the high capacity 301XL, and the HP 301 colour or again the high capacity 301XL.

My Hp printer Deskjet 3050 will not accept the HP 301 cartridges. Any suggestions? The message says they are incompatible. I just took out HP 61's that were out of ink.

• 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:

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

It is confusing. Does the 301xl cartridge fit the 3050 wireless printer when I check for compatability the 2050 model is not on the list but advertised in you products

• The HP Deskjet 3050 requires either the Black HP 301 or 301XL and the Colour HP 301 or 301XL cartridges. It takes the same cartridges as the HP Deskjet 2050.

How do I check how much colour ink is left in my cartridges?

• Unfortunately, we are unable to advise how to do this on each printer. However, they 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 is usually an option to check the ink levels in the maintenance options of your printer, 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:

can hp 2050 use catriage no,61 pliz reply

• The cartridge that you require for your printer is based on where the printer was purchased, this is because printers have region codes similar to DVDs. If the printer was purchased in the UK, you will require the HP 301 cartridges, which are UK cartridges. If your printer was purchased outside of the UK, you will need different cartridges. Unfortunately, I am unable to advise which cartridges you will need and would recommend contacting HP directly for further assistance. If you have been using the HP 61 cartridge previously in this printer then this will be the one that you need.

I purchased a genuine black Cartridge from Asda on Saturday (301) it only did about 50 copies and was empty, so I bought another on Sunday and that did exactly the same. Please advise as I can't keep spending money in this way Thankyou Brenda

• 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.

HOW DO YOU GET THE CARTRIDGE OUT AND IN THANK YOU

• Unfortunately we are unable to advise on how to remove and install Cartridges.

  The Cartridges should come out of the printer quite easily.

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

Can I use 300XL cartridges in HP DESKJET 4050A all in one J611 series?

• HP don't have a Deskjet 4050A, they have a 3050A, is this the printer that you're referring to? If so, you'll need the 301 cartridges which can be found on this page: http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/ink-cartridges/HP/Deskjet-3050A-e-All-in-One.html
  

  Answered by Laura Tidman (Staff Member) - 7 months ago

I mostly black ink for letters do I have to fit both black and coloured cartridges.

• 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.

  Answered by Paul Miller (Staff Member) - 7 months ago

does this printer (desk jet j611 series) make photo copies

• According to the manual on the HP website this printer does have a scan and copy function, please see the link below to the manual for more information:

I have an HP 3050 desk jet printer. It came with cartridge number 61 which I am unable to find. Will cartridge 301 (or some other) work equally well?

• A '61' cartridge suggests that the printer is a non UK model. If this is the case, none of the cartridges we supply will be compatible with your machine.

  Answered by Daniel Zieba (Staff Member) - 3 months ago

Please advise on how to replace existing cartridge with a new one. I no longer have instructions following the purchase of my HP Deskjet 3050 scanner/printer last autumn. Thank you

• 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:
