Is my HP 3052A AirPrint compatible

[Jack102]

I can connect to EWS using 10.0.0.5

But when I click on Wireless Setup Wizard the browser won't allow it to connect. It warns that the IP is not secure. I have the install disc for the printer.

Now I am concerned about the unsecure network. Should I uninstall and start fresh?

Hi,  

You can try first.  The IP is technically in your network, so should be safe.

Unless that fails, then you try using the CD.

Hope that helps!

Performed the following

Reset printer to factory defaults.

Completely uninstalled HP Software.

Reinstalled software and printer (wireless)

The router assigned the same IP again (10.0.0.5)

I can get to EWS but have to override browser security to access some features.

The root of my problem still exists in that my iPad cannot access the printer.

Also, something else I noticed has to do with ePrint. When I pressed the "Display email address" it came back with "The printer could not connect with the internet, check internet connection" Obviously I have an internet connection. Any suggestions on that as well?

Thanks again

Hi,

Printer IP address is invalid.

Do you have a PC where you can install the printer as a USB and then convert it to wireless?

Thanks.

Yes. Part of the installation process is hooking up a usb cable to the PC to dtermine the wireless settings. I am guessing that is whwere the router assigns the IP address.

Is it possible to connect to the printer wirelessly without a router?

Hi @Jack102

Yes.  This document will show you how it's done:

Excepts from the document:

Wi-Fi Direct or HP wireless direct connection

Connect your Apple iOS device directly to the printer with Wi-Fi Direct or HP wireless direct.

1. On the printer, make sure a solid blue light is on next to the Wi-Fi Direct/HP wireless direct button or an Wi-Fi Direct/HP wireless direct icon displays on the control panel.
2. Press the Wi-Fi Direct/HP wireless direct button or navigate the control panel menu settings to find and touch Wi-Fi Direct/HP wireless direct.
3. On your Apple iOS device, tap Settings, and then tap Wi-Fi.
4. Under the Choose a network menu, select your printer. The printer name begins with DIRECT.
   If prompted, type a password. The default password is 12345678.

     NOTE:

   If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct/HP wireless direct connection, be sure to go back into Wi-Fi settings and connect your Apple iOS device to your network.

   Hope that helps!

Hello. My printer is an HP3052A. The button on the control panel is only labeled "Wireless".  There is no icon that looks like the one shown in your e-mail. Also there is nothing displayed in the control panel that says Wi-Fi Direct or HP wireless direct. Is the HP 3052A Wi-Fi Direct / HP wireless direct capable?

Thank You
