HP Laserjet 3052 help

I have searched this topic and have seen where some people have managed to get their printers back fully functional.
My question is, how do you add the printer by ip address. It is clear that doing all the other steps involved disables the printer function, but allows you to scan, etc. I just need to get the printer function back and I will be all set. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have that printer, but HP printers either have a front panel to see/set the IP address, or, they have a test/configuration page that can be printed out by pressing a button or something like that - it's usually described in the manual, but probably also online.
Just to be sure - it is connected by ethernet, isn't it? USB printers don't have IP addresses.

Laserjet 3052 Max OS X 10.8 scanning problem

I have a new Macbook Pro with retina display that is running OSX 10.8.2. I have connected it by USB cable to our old HP Laserjet 3052 which has been used succesfully both for printing and scanning for many years with a succession of PCs (latest one was running Windows 7). I have no problem printing to the HP from the new Mac. However, I can't get scanning to work. The Mac software is up to date. If I access the printer through Settings, Print & Scan, there is not Print|Scan button at the top -- so I can't use Preview to scan. If I open Image Capture, the Laserject 3052 is not shown under Devices in the right had column. I have successfully scanned to the Mac using another smaller pinter/scanner -- so the problem seems to be compatibility with the Laserject 3052, which I need for scanning larger documents. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi,
I afraid the Laserjet 3052 is no longer supported for scanning on any of the latest Mac OS versions, not by HP Software or by any Apple software, as you may find listed below:

Laserjet 3052 and OSX Mavericks. Scanning with HP Director does not work. Any driver download.

My iMac will not scan using OSX 10.9 Mavericks and HP Director. Prints ok. Are there any new drivers available.

Read this thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Is-Laserjet-3055-compatib le-with-OS-X-Lion-10-7-for-print/td-p/812787
My LaserJet 3052 works with Mavericks after I followed these instructions. It's not 100% stable, but it sure beats buying a new scanner/printer combo. Mine still rocks after 7 years of use!
Good luck!

HP Toolbox FX Software and Driver for HP LaserJet 3052

Dear Sir,
I have lost my software driver for HP LaserJet 3052, currently I am using the printer (HP LaserJet 3052) with driver downloded from HP website. However, many features have dissappered. I can no longer able to print both side.
Where can I download the HP LaserJet 3052 driver software with fully features?
Where can I have HP LaserJet 3052 Toolbox software?
Thank you verry much.

Hi,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
The HP Toolbox FX ( as part of a Full Feature Software) is not compatible with Windows 7 but only a UPD solution, full functionality is only available uisng compatibility mode with the Windows Vista software but for a 32-bit OS only, not for a 64-bit OS:

HP LaserJet M2727--- Help me!!!

I am on my third HP LaserJet M2727 in the last 3 months. My first two said Scanner Error 5. Now this one will turn on and work fine but then just shuts off and won\'t work again till the next morning. I\'ve talked to many techs and they said update your drivers and all that jazz. So someone sent me a link to do this and update my software. When I get to the USB cable thing, where it tells me to connect it, I do but it won\'t let me proceed saying its still not connected. It did work once but then it said try again. What do I do??? Help me!!!

LydiaWhite88,

I hope this helps.

HP LaserJet Printer Help

     I'm running Mountain Lion on my iMac and am attempting to connect an HP LaserJet 2420 Printer to it vie ethernet cable. The printer is detected by the computer, and the software downloads fine, but it gets stuck on the screen "configuring device." I have let it go for up to two hours with no results. I also tried the same printer on another iMac, also on Mountain Lion, and got the same result. I have tried installing different drivers to no avail. I know the printer works because Ican get it to print things like a usage page or menu commands straight from the printer itself. Can anybody assist me on getting it set up properly?

Shared Printer Bug After 10.7.4 HP LaserJet USB - Help?

Before the 10.7.4 update, my HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf multi fucntion printer worked just fine with the built in OS X print drivers. I had the printer shared on the network via my iMac (2011) over USB and other devices could print to it via Bonjour.
As soon as the 10.7.4 update hit, printing has been an issue. Whenever a print job is sent to the printer over the network the printer displays a 'Please Insert Paper' warning that has to be cleared on the device itself before the print will continue, even though the printer is full of paper... This does not happen when printing from the iMac itself, only when using the iMac to share the printer.
10.7.4 seems to have been a really buggy update as it has caused problems with Wifi becoming unusable until the iMac is rebooted.
Any ideas?

You may have tried this already but in case you haven't, delete and re-add the printer on the client iMac - that is the one that is using the shared connection.
With regards to the message, do you think it is a result of the wrong paper size being requested or expecting paper to be in a particular cassette or tray, like the manual feed?
I also have to ask why you are sharing the printer? With the n and f suffix in the printer name I thought this would suggest the printer has its own Ethernet port and support wifi so it could therefore connect directly to your router rather than to another Mac.

HP Laserjet 5MP - help to set up via USB please

I have my trusty workhouse, the HP Laserjet 5MP that I want to continue to use with 10.6
Have just bought a parallel to USB cable, my system sees the cable, but I cannot get the printer to work - any idea on how to get it working.
I have seen recommendations to connect via ethernet, but for some reason I haven't clue how to find or set up an IP address for the printer.

See Mac OS X- About printing with a USB-to-parallel cable for potential problems using these cables with some printers and drivers.
To use an Ethernet setup the printer must have a TCP/IP card installed - Jet Direct for that model. If there is such a card installed then there will be an active Ethernet port on the rear of the printer, and the card installed in one of the inside slots.
Using an Ethernet port setup on the printer should be explained in the printer's user manual. if you don't have one you can download manuals from the HP web site.

HP Laserjet 3052 Compatibility

I'm looking for an All-In-One printer. Does anybody have any info (good or bad) on the HP Laerjet 3052 All-In-One? Will it work with the iMac (Intel) running 10.4.8?
Suggestions on alternatives are also welcome!

I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

HP Laserjet 3052 Scanner not working

HP 3052 scanner doesn't work with Mountain Lion

So I upgraded MacBook Air to Mountain Lion and everything seems fine except I can't use scanner function on my HP 3052 AiO. The printer still prints OK but I can't see scanner anymore.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I affraid scanning is no longer supported for your product while using Mountain Lion, actually the same applies for any Mac OS X version starting from 10.6.
You may find this information stated in here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
You may try using an earlier software version (The latest version intended for 10.5), however it is not assured to work and you may try it at your own risk.
In order to install the previous software you may try following the workaround below:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the LaserJet 3052 printer and click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 software below by clicking the download button:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140784&swItem=ma-58935-1&prodNameId=114077 9&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Follow the installation by skipping the Setup Assistant till the installation will finish.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Mountain Lion:
Open Terminal from the Utilities folder
Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
Right-click (or CTRL+Left click) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
Open the “Contents” folder and then click “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter.
Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete the installation.
Good luck,

Duplex printing doesn't work on HP Laserjet 3055

Hi!
I am a new rMBP user and I need your help with setting up a printer. I want to use my old printer HP LaserJet 3055 for both side printing - using Widnows I didn't have any problem with that. The printer supports manual duplex printing - it means - print odd pages - beep - then I put sheets into the tray and click button - even pages. I use this printer via network.
I was thinking about solution for a few hours. I've tried:
installing printer with PCL, Postscript drivers,
downloaded HP drives from Apple (even app store installed some kind of upgrade but doesn't include 3055)
using HP Laserjet 3052 drivers (it's default choice by OS X)
upgrading remotely printer drives using ltr command in Terminal,
installing printer via USB,
even installing Gutenprint and then hpijs with some sh**
The printer is printing but not on both side My first impression about OS X Yosemite and rMBP is awsome and I know that using so old devices may cause problems but I cannot change my printer.
Help my guys, please!!
PS Sorry for my English
