You need a PPD file;
Googling on '"Deskjet 3050" HP PPD' might help;

Just download it and tell cups to use it.
Cups has a GUI installer for this sort of things.

I just discovered that it also has a scanner. This is probably why a lot
of people refer to hplip. EG;

This page is even Mandriva specific;

Maybe Mandriva supplies hplip as well. In which case you can use the
Mandria installer.
