Just got a message when trying to print WiFi on HP 3052 no driver. Being using it for years

[Bob9099]

Have an old printer that works great HP 3052, but today while trying to print I receive a message on that printer no drivers available.  Its worked fine for years.  I go to HP to download and driver and it recognized my printer.  Under it, it said "expired". So, does HP remove a driver after a certain amount of time because it's old. It still prints hard wired but not Wi Fi. Can't find a driver on HP home page

Hi @Bob9099,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Do not worry, I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are facing issues with your printer. 

If you're suddenly receiving a "no drivers available" message while trying to print with your HP 3052 printer, it might indicate a problem with the drivers or their compatibility. Here's what you can try:

Restart: Begin by restarting your computer and the printer. Sometimes, this simple step can resolve communication issues.

Check Connection: Ensure that the printer is properly connected to your computer via USB or connected to the network if it's a network printer. Also, verify that the cables are in good condition.

Driver Update: Visit the HP support website and search for the latest drivers for your HP 3052 printer model. Download and install the appropriate driver for your operating system.

If it is not available, maybe the current OS is not compatible with this printer. 

Compatibility Mode: If you're using an older operating system or encountering compatibility issues, try running the driver installer in compatibility mode. Right-click the driver setup file, go to Properties, and select Compatibility mode for an older version of Windows if applicable.

If the issue persists and none of the above steps work, reach out to HP's customer support.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
