• The HP DeskJet 3050 printer supports both the HP 61 and HP 61XL ink cartridges. The difference between the two cartridges is the HP 61 is the regular cartridge and the HP 61XL is the high capacity cartridge, which is not bigger but has more ink.

• Yes it is. XL is only a large size. A HP 61 ink toner will work on you 3050.

• Yes in that 61 is the correct compatibility. The XL means that it is supposed to give you up to 2.5 times more pages. I have used both the 61XL and plain 61. I find it debatable whether or not it produces more prints or copies. I would have to actually count every single page to answer if you do get that many extra pages or not.

• Yes it is. The xl stands for extra large, meaning more ink for more prints.

• If it says it's compatible, it should work fine. Go to the HP website and do a search for compatible ink cartridges for your printer just to be on the safe side.

• The xl only means that it will print more pages than the regular. It is for the same printer.

• The HP Deskjet model 3050 is listed on the side of the HP 61 combo ink box I got at Best Buy so I would think that you are right.
