• HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

  After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

  I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

  Thanks for any help you can provide

  Hi there @lesart55.

  Welcome to the HP community!

  I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

  I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

  Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

  Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

  Press the power button to turn the product on.
  With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  Wait at least 15 seconds.
  Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
  If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

  If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

  An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

  I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

• DeskJet 2540 does not print

  I just bought a 2540 Deskjet All in one printer and it won't print any documents. I installed the software from the disk and updated via the web as well. The laptop (vista) sees the printer and the hp software can see the printer but when I try to print a document seems to send it does not appear in the print queue, nothing prints. I used the doctor of printing & scanning hp which gave a green checkmark to everything to the point of test page. The test page will not print and I am prompted to print a test page, it prints perfectly and Dr. print & scan then told me the problem is with the software and to uninstall and reinstall which I was (remove all the hp program add/remove software) before reinstalling it from the Web site and the same thing happens. I tried to use a laptop (Windows 7 starter edition) and it's the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated

  See you soon

  There is a fix for this, the pilot 2540 don't currently work with the printer on some windows operating systems, but if you use the 990C driver that works with your printer, thanks to Mark of hp technical supports for the fix.

• Cannot install hp deskjet printer 2540 Windows XP

  You just bought the HP Deskjet 2540. The printer installed on Vista without a hitch and everything works well.

  BUT I can not install hp deskjet printer 2540 on my Windows XP. I get an error that says ' Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g no driver selected for the device set or set information.»

  Any suggestions to help me install on Windows XP would be appreciated.

  Hello billgrazia,

  Welcome to the forums.

  I understand that you are not able to install your Deskjet 2540 on your Windows XP system, but you were able to install it on your Vista system. I would suggest a step to try.

  Perform a clean boot:

  Step 1: Open the System Configuration utility

  Click Start and run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  Step 2: Configure selective startup options

  In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click the general tab, and then click Selective startup.
  Click to clear the process SYSTEM. INI file check box.
  Click to clear the process GAIN. INI file check box.
  Click to uncheck the box load startup items. Check that load System Services and use Original BOOT. INI are checked.
  Click the Services tab.
  Click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
  Click Disable all, and then click OK.
  When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Seen here boot steps: how to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Then, try to install the printer, while the start up programs are turned off: 2540 Deskjet HP all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers

  If it does not help with the installation successfully, run it the Microsoft Fix it tool: the problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled and then try to install.

  Once the installation is complete, go back to clean boot instructions to relight the start up programs.

  I hope this helps,

  Kind regards

• 2542 DeskJet printer to my laptop connection problems

  I recently bought a printer HP DeskJet 2542, who will replace my broken.

  All is well on the installation until where I am trying to connect my printer to my laptop, which has been frustratenly without success.

  I tried both wireless via the network and wired via a USB connection, but none work.

  After further investigation, I find that the software driver 2540 series for the connection between the PC and the printer is not yet installed, despite several attempts.

  I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the entire printer software, but even when it says that the installation is complete, it is still unable to connect the printer to my computer.

  In addition... I recently discovered that my connection to a portable printer is going through "WSD Print Device" of windows, that was invites me via Windows Update for a software update... but whenever I run it, it fails due to an error in "300073EB".

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron N5040 Windows 7-64 bit. Only the changes that I did is to double the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB by adding an additional memory chip.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated before that I simply returns the printer to the back.

  Well... I'm happy to announce that I finally got my printer is installed properly, and that it works correctly.

  It turns out that the problem was a registry key corrupted in the records of the registry where are stored the drivers for my printer was blocking the installation. I had to delete all the registry keys in the folder where they were stored, and then rename the folder in my folder of spool where the concerned driver files were stored "disable."

  For those who are interested: here are the relevant steps I took:

  (1) Obvously, back up your registry database first just in case where.

  (2) temporarily disable the spooler to print through the Services tool in administrative tools (click the button 'Stop' after right click on the list of the print spooler, and then click on 'Properties').

  (3) to open the Registry Editor (by typing 'regedit' on your search to start bar) and then right click on "regedit.exe" to log on as an administrator.

  (4) using the left side nested directory of the folder, scroll to that folder in the registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3

  (For machines Win 7 32 bit, replace "Windows x 64" with "Windows NT x 86").

  Find the subfolder under the location of the driver corrupted (in my case, "HP Deskjet 2540 series") and right click and delete it. (Note: you could also do the same to all the other driver files listed there, but you'd still have to reinstall services once you restart the system.) That's why you need this backup.)

  (5) then, get out of the Publisher of the registry, and using Windows Explorer: find this folder in your root (C:\) directory:

  C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  (This assumes that you are using Win 7-64 bit, 32 bit, replace "x 64" by "W32X86".)

  Rename the folder marked as '3' to '3.old '.

  (6) now go back and restart the print spooler by using the same procedure as 1), except by clicking the button 'start '. (If your print spooler is set to 'Automatic', however, you may ignore this process, since the reboot will automatically restart.)

  (7) Finally, reboot and reinstall your software print either by using the CD or directly on the site of HP.

  It may be simply that a previous installation of a previous printer corrupt keys enough that he was blocking the installation.

  Justice and resolution can grind slowly, but with a little investigation, it ultimately grinds. Thanks for your help... and you can consider this to be "SOLVED".

  I have Deskjet 4645. When HP650 color is finished, I get messages annoying & cannot print, you print only in black & white. Why?

  The printer should be printing single cartridge - remove the color cartridge and set it aside, then print with just the black cartrdige.  There are warnings that the printer is in mode single cartridge, you may need to press OK on the front panel or driver to proceed

  See page 77 here user guide for more information on the mode of single cartridge.
