• Can a HP 121 cartridge be used in a HP Deskjet 3050A printer?

  Correct cartridges for Deskjet 3050A

  The HP 121 cartridge is not valid for use in the UK version of the HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One printer. This would indicate that your printer was not purchased in the UK. If this is the case, none of the ink cartridges we supply will be compatible as we only supply cartridges for use in UK printer models. Please contact HP directly as they might be able to advise you how to proceed.

• How do I replace ink in the Deskjet 3050A and which is the best ink to buy?

  Buying HP 3050A ink cartridges

  Your HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One printer manual should have instructions on how to replace the ink cartridges. If not, please contact HP directly to ask for technical support. The best ink to buy for your Deskjet 3050A depends on the nature of your printing. For example, if you want the best print quality and reliability you can't go far wrong ordering the genuine HP Deskjet 3050A ink cartridges. They're available in HP 301 standard capacity cartridges and HP 301XL high capacity cartridges for black and colour. High capacity 301XL cartridges contain more ink and produce a lower cost-per-print so if you use up a lot of ink they are the best choice. If you want the cheapest cartridges and aren't concerned with buying HP branded ink you should consider our high quality compatible HP Deskjet 3050A ink cartridges which are sold at a lower price and work equally well within the printer.

  Colour ink for Deskjet 3050A

  Yes, we sell single packs of the Deskjet 3050A tri-colour ink cartridges as well as the multipacks which have both black and colour ink.

• I've just fitted an HP 301 cartridge into my all-in-one printer HP 3050A and it says "incompatble cartridge". The printer was purchased overseas and until now used has used HP 122 cartridges (CH561H) whilst in the Middle East. I've now returned to the UK and am trying to install a HP301 CH561E cartridge, since the HP 122 cartridge doesn't exist in the UK. Can you please help? Thanks.

  Cartridge numbers for HP 3050A printer

  Unfortunately, because your HP Deskjet 3050A printer was puchased outside of the UK, it won't accept the HP 301 cartridges which will only work if your Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One printer was purchased in the UK. It might be possible for HP to change the region code on your printer so that it can accept the UK cartridge numbers (HP 301 / 301XL) that we supply. However, only HP are able to offer this service so you'd need to contact them directly for further assistance on this matter.
