Hi @kass1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand you are unable to connect your HP 3050A printer to a new hub. Follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

Check Network Configuration:
 

• Ensure that your new hub is configured correctly and provides a network connection. Confirm that other devices can connect to the hub.

Printer Network Settings:
 

• Access the printer's control panel and verify that the network settings are correctly configured. Ensure the printer is set to connect to the correct Wi-Fi network name (SSID) provided by your new hub.

Reboot Devices:
 

• Restart both the hub and the printer. Sometimes, simply rebooting the devices can resolve connectivity issues.

Update Printer Software:
 

• Ensure that your printer's firmware is up-to-date. Visit https://support.hp.com/us-en to download the latest software updates if necessary.

Ensure Wireless Settings are Correct:
 

• Make sure the printer is within range of the new hub and that there are no physical obstructions or interference.

Reconnect to the Network:
 

• Try reconnecting your printer to the network. Use the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer to search for available networks and re-enter the Wi-Fi password if necessary.

Check Hub Compatibility:
 

• Verify that the hub is compatible with your printer. Some modern devices may have compatibility issues with older printers.

Reset Network Settings on Printer:
 

• As a last resort, reset the network settings on your printer to factory defaults and set up the connection from scratch.
  
  
  I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
