The ADF on the LAserjet 3055 doesn't work. There is no paper jam and I even installed the scanner fix on the HP support page. I am trying to scan and it keeps saying there is an error, or waitin on PC or "document loaded"

HP ScanJet 4p Scanners - How to Use the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
Tips for Using Step 1 - Load the Paper Step 2 - Scan the Document To Scan a Single Page Tips for Using

• Remove any paper from the copyboard glass before using the ADF.
• Straighten any curls or wrinkles from documents before putting them on the document tray. If this is not possible, do not scan these documents using the ADF. Instead, use the copyboard glass or make a photocopy of the documents and scan the photocopies.
• Remove staples, paper clips, and any other materials from documents.
• Avoid documents with tears, perforations, or punch holes.
• Do not use the ADF to scan sheets of uncommon paper or other media, such as the following: - transparencies - gummed-backed paper - magazine pages - lightweight ("onionskin") carbons
• For paper smaller than 5 inches (127 mm) by 7 inches (178 mm) or larger than 14 inches (356 mm) by 8.5 inches (216 mm), use the scanner glass instead of the ADF. Paper smaller than the minimum size may cause a paper jam.
• For paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m sq) or heavier than 32 lb bond (120 g/m sq), use the scanner glass instead of the ADF.
• Before scanning, always push the front of the ADF downward to the scanner to ensure that the magnetic latches are engaged.

Step 1 - Load the Paper Besides the instructions below, quick reference decals on the input tray and access hatch show the order of steps for paper loading.

1. Turn on the scanner.
2. Ensure the scanner's scanner glass is free of paper.
3. Turn the green paper load lever into an upright and open position. Refer to decal number 1 located on the ADF access hatch.
4. Put the top end of the paper stack face up on the input tray. Refer to decal number 2 and pointer arrows on the ADF input tray.
5. Push the paper stack up against the green document guide and slide it right against the green registration stop, which is in the middle of the paper load window.
6. Turn the green paper load lever 45 degrees into the closed position. This will secure the paper stack. Refer to decal number 3 on the ADF access hatch. The ADF is now loaded and ready for scanning.

Step 2 - Scan the Document The ADF works with many software packages that are compatible with the HP ScanJet color scanners. To scan a document, refer to the user's manual of the software package being used. To Scan a Single Page To scan a single page while the ADF is installed on the scanner, do the following.

1. Remove any pages from the ADF input tray.
2. Raise the ADF.
3. Place the page on the scanner's copyboard glass.
4. Lower the ADF all the way and do the scan.

Have a good day

Based on the assumption it's mechanically ok, check the cable connection between the document feeder and the base, if damaged or worked look it can cause errors. If it is a sensor error, check for a small bit of paper or even a staple from a prior jam.

document feeder jam

Try cleaning the rollers in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder).
It might temporarily solve the problem, but rollers do have a limited life time, so you will eventually need new ones.

Part info:
5851-3580 - Automatic document feeder (ADF) paper pick-up roller assembly
Price: $15.57

Here's a link to the full service manual for your HP 3055. It's too large to post here (15MB) but I've hot linked it for you so you can download it to resolve your issue with the ADF. Look at pages 44 thru 46. Pay special attention to the rubber pad (separation pad) that is under the 2 roller peice as it is what keeps the doc feeder pulling one sheet at a time.

Hope that helps you. If so hit me with a FIXYA, If not send me a message or reply and I'll try and walk you through it.

hp laserjet 3055 by scanner error 6
Solution: I found a very small piece of paper between the glass and the scanner housing. The lamp's seen that and sent the error message. Nobody find that little stucked paper and the "IT expert" sad: need to buy a new machine because he can't repair it. So, sometimes the solution is very easy just need some attention. :)
