Aug 9, 2012 10:34 PM in response to hpr3by RobsMac4,Thanks. I gave this a shot earlier and it didn't work. Subsequently discovered that HP no longer supports scanning in the HP 3055 and a number of other printers in Lion and Mountain lion. Sad, it's only about 4 years old and the model version is only (I think) about 6 years old.

I found a hint to a workaround in some HP thread (http://tinyurl.com/c732s6f):
I assume that your 3055 just stopped scanning after the upgrade to mountain lion and asu of HP dirvers. So ceteris paribus all you have to do is copy the file://localhost/Library/Preferences/com.hp.LaserJetAIO.plist to file://localhost/Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.hp.LaserJetAIO.plist
It is mandatory that you DO NOT delete or uninstall any of your old drivers or HP software, since afaik you cannot (re-)install it under mountain lion!!!
If you cannot find the file on your system -> just copy the file from your time machine to both folders mentioned above!
Hope this also works for you, have fun!

Did you ever get this to work?
The VueScan webpage for the LJ 3055 specifically states that Mac isn't supported (only Windows).
Or was Lanny's reply intended to convey that the webpage documentation is incorrect and that the Mac (at least under Mountain Lion) actually is supported?
