Printer won't print. Re-downloaded drivers. Printer is connected to wifi. When I look at my printers, it is not there. I don't get an option to add the 3056A. It is not on the menu of printers to add.

Welcome to HP forums, I see that you are unable to add the printer.
- Make sure the printer and computer are connected to the same network.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor
If your printer is not found on the Choose Your Product step, click My product is not listed for steps to connect the printer.
Try to print.
Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.
- In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
- Select your HP printer.
- Select Uninstall.
- In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
- In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
- Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
- Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
- Click on Drivers tab.
- Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
- Select OK.
- Remove all instances of the same.
- Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
- Close Devices and Printers.
- Restart the PC again.
Click here to download the full feature driver of the printer.
Let me know how it goes.
To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
Cheers.
