• 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!

• HP Deskjet 2542 is not printing in black ink

  Very well. So I picked up a new all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2542 today from Walmart. At he House installed the printer on my computer compaq laptop windows 7. Print a page of alignment and scanned. Successfully. I went to print my paper for school. Only the hyperlink color was printed. Everything was empty. I printed another document that was all black. It printed 2 blank pages... I'm very disappointed because I just bought this printer less than 3 hours ago! I printed the test pages and everywhere where it is supposed to be black it is a light blue light. The gray dark fate well however. Alignment is fine, it's just a matter with black ink of he. And it came to pass also supplied with the printer that I bought. I don't want to spend more money on the new cartridges that it is supposed to be new! Help, please?

  Thank you @Fujoti. I had originally tried that before posting here and there do not seem to work for me another that tell me that I had to get it repaired for my new printer. To remedy this, I called HP Customer Service help line and I was able to get my printer to print pages in black ink.

  SOLUTION: I cleaned well the bottom of the cartridge with absorbent paper. Then re-installed in my printer. The first pages may be a bit scratched. If this continues to learn more then just a couple of pages I have to go out and clean the contact a little better then you should be all good!

  Thanks for all your help guys

• HP Deskjet 2542: HP Deskjet 2542 does not print

  My printer stopped working all of a sudden, and I wonder what could have happened or what I'm doing wrong.

  The problem started when I replaced the cartridges in there. Since then, even if the printer seems to be very well connected and it appears among the devices on the Control Panel, I was not able to print anything. Once I have send anything whether to print in Word, the program processes the order and the printer icon appears in the start menu. Briefly, it is written "1 document waiting to be printed", but then the printer made noises and after a few seconds, the status changes to '0 documents waiting to be printed' and the printer does nothing.

  I already uninstalled the drivers, restarted the computer and reinstalled the printer from the available online Installer. This time, however, I opted for the printing option USB avoid problems with wireless option I had previously. The problem persists and I can not print a thing.

  My sister has the same type of computer with Windows 7 on it, and she is able to print correctly.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help (and possibly explain things in simple terms that I'm not the person more experienced in terms of it, unfortunately). Thanks in advance.

• PRI all-in-one HP Deskjet 2542: not the printer connected to the Modem

  My modem (wired LAN) password and the name was changed recently and now my printer (HP Deskjet 2542 all-in-one) does not connect to the modem.  The blue light just continuously flashes.  This is the only change that has been done to my modem and this is the first time I tried to print. It is printed on the front.  I called the cable company and they determined my modem was working fine and has suggested that to change my printer settings.  I grew up the printer instructions on my computer, but could not find something that I could change my settings to match the modem.  I think that's what the cable company told me to do.

  My printer is mod. # SNPRB - 1204 - 02.  If you need made more information let me know.  It seems that this should be a quick fix, but I'm not a computer geek.

  Hi @first100years,

  I'd love to help you connect your printer to your wireless network. The flashing blue light confirms without a doubt that, for some reason, the printer is is more set up.

  I found the following steps in this document: connect the printer after change of your wireless network.

  The HP software automatically collects the network settings by temporarily connect a USB cable from the printer to a computer that is connected to the new network. Follow these steps to reconnect the printer to the network.

• DeskJet 2542: May not print on HP Deskjet 2542 of HP 6910 p - but can all the other PCs in the House

  I have a brand new 2542 Deskjet and three computers.

  The laptop can not print, but can scan.

  The laptop is running...

  Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

  On a HP 6910P

  Have used both the drivers from the website, as well as those included in the box.

  None of the questions that he is, he just will not print.

  Nothing in the case of newspapers

  Printer spooler is running

  Have already emptied all the old remaining jobs and restarting services

  Is not serious anyway because jobs clear the queue.

  l leave a comment for future users who share a similar problem with this device.

  Ultimate solution is illogical.

  After a long period of work with their printer engineer, we decided to try the driver for the HP Deskjet 2500 series and finally it started working.

  Just in case someone comes across this posted the question and needs assistance and does not want to lose several hours of their day on a single issue.

• Can I change my 8600 more print quality settings in a framework between the project and normal

  Officepro 8600 more

  Windows 7 32 bit

  How can I print 'between' projects and normal settings?

  I'm sorry you say crhfool, but there is no option between the 'Project' and 'Normal' on the 8600. The three main choices that you are 'Project', 'Normal' and 'Best '. They determine the density of 'points' by your inkjet printer, and the printer will always default to the setting chosen.

  I hope this information is useful!
