Hi,

 

Thank You for contacting HP.

We have drivers available for the printer at the below link, 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-deskjet-3050-all-in-one-printer-series...

 

First Uninstall the existing printer software from the Programs window.

Then Restart the PC.

Download the drivers from the above link and install,

For the Wireless to work on the printer, first Install via a Cable (USB Cable), Connect the cable between the printer and the PC only when prompted.

 

Then Once the software is installed via the cable, it will give a prompt to convert the connection into Wireless.

Select Yes and follow the screens.

 

Once the steps are completed, disconnect the USB cable and the printer should start working with the wireless capability.

Try printing and scanning both and check the results.
