Hi @Phuck,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To set up your HP Deskjet 3055A e-All-in-One Printer wirelessly so it works with your iPad and computers, follow these steps.

Prepare Your Printer

• Make sure your printer is turned on and has paper and ink installed.
• Ensure your wireless router is working and that you know your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.

Connect the Printer to Wi-Fi

Using the Printer Control Panel:

1. Press the Wireless button on the printer’s control panel to access the Wireless Menu.
2. Select Wireless Settings and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
3. The printer will search for available wireless networks. Select your network name (SSID) from the list.
4. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted using the printer's keypad.

Install Printer Software on Apple Devices

For iPad or iPhone:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Go to Wi-Fi and connect to the same network as your printer.
3. On the iPad, go to a document or image you want to print.
4. Tap the Share icon (square with an arrow) and select Print.
5. In the printer list, select your HP Deskjet 3055A. If the printer is not listed, ensure it's on the same network and supports AirPrint.

For macOS Computers:

1. Open System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners.
2. Click the "+" button to add a printer.
3. Select your HP Deskjet 3055A from the list of detected printers.
4. If the printer is not listed, ensure it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that your Mac is on the same network.

Enable Web Services (for HP ePrint)

If you plan to use HP ePrint:

1. Press the ePrint button on the printer’s control panel.
2. Follow the instructions to enable Web Services.
3. Print the information sheet to find the printer's email address.
4. Use this email address to send documents or photos for printing.

Note:

• Ensure your printer and Apple devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Restart your router, printer, and Apple devices if the printer is not detected.
• Check for firmware updates for the printer via the HP Smart App or the printer control panel.
• Use the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool (for macOS or Windows) if you're having trouble.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
