• DeskJet 2540: Ink cartridges Deskjet 2540 because out of the box

  I just implemented the Deskjet 2540 I bought yesterday, using the black and tricolor cartridges 301 which is entered in the box. Both cartridge lights are flashing now, and I get the error message that cartridges have failed. I tried to remove and reinsert the cartridges, power cycling the printer according to the instructions in the HP support and gently wipe the contacts on the cartridges. Nothing has worked. It seems that too much of a coincidence that the two print cartridges are defective right out of the packaging. Any ideas?

  Time to take it for a refund or a replacement.

• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

  Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

  My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

  Hey @Sue1990,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

  To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

  Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

  Have a wonderful evening!

• DeskJet 2540 all in one print a few pages and then stop saying printer error

  I'm on windows 8.1 x 64, I use office 2013 pro, I had this problem for some time and now I'm getting really annoyed that there is no solution for it, yet I have searched several sites and forums and nothing. I'm in the middle trying to print something IMPORTANT for the University. I saw someone posted on the use of another driver, but who can't find anywhere and i ' ts becomes so frustrating, I uninstalled and reinstalled, using the software dr anything. someone tell me for gods sake there at - it a fix for this problem, if not I'll get a refund sorted by your warranty cause this is outrageous.

  This problem is now solved for me, my brother helped me find the cause, it turns out that when you use your firewall it seems to interrupt communication on wifi as it print fine with usb and wifi turned off. what you need to do is to find the ip address of the printer and add it to your chest/whtelist firewalls etc., it shouldn't be a problem

• All-in-one Deskjet 2540: Brand New Deskjet 2540 - "cartridge is Incompatible - black ink cartridge.

  I just got a new HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one yesterday, ordered from amazon.de, went through the installation of software on my 2015 Macbook Pro running OSX Yosemite, deleted the band contained in 301 ink cartridges provided, placed them in the printer (tricolor on the left, in black on the right) without touching the electrical contacts or the ink nozzles and tried and align the ink cartridges.

  I met an error message:

  'Incompatible ink cartridge.

  Black [K]

  The cartridge listed above is not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured.

  Please see using printer. "

  Strange, but no matter, the bad seats maybe. I opened the drawer, removed black and reinstalled. Same error message. Well, I ordered an extra authentic HP 301 XL knowing I would run on Finally, maybe my ink cartridge provided was bad. I removed the 301 XL tape and installed. This time, no message error, but as soon as I went to print an alignment page, I received the same error. I went back between cartridges and sometimes I get the printer to accept it, but any attempt to use the printer caused an error message.

  So I went on this forum, found a few tips on how to solve the problem. I tried the resets seats and the relocation and hard. Same error message. I went to clean the contacts, using a cotton swab, filter coffee and bottled water Jig only contacts of eletrical on two ink cartridges (normal and XL) and contacts of printers. I let them dry for 10 minutes and reinstall. Same error message, no progress.

  I'm at a loss for what to do that this is a new printer and I say to myself that I would not have this much trouble. If I could get advice on what to do and more: seats/resettlement, cleaning the contacts, hard reset, it would be appreciated.

  HI bchowseph,

  I found some information about the printer product Specifications.  It does not list the cartridge 301 for Western Europe.  The 61 is for North America.  I think I made the assumption that you were in the United States (my bad!)

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-DeskJet-2540-all-in-one-printer-series/5295960/model/5295961/document/c03811750/

  I greatly apologize for the confusion!

  Yet, the printer should accept the cartridges you had - so I think I can get a replacement printer is the right course of action.

  The ink cartridges should be OK for a few days in an airtight container.  You may need to run a routine cleaning cartridge if you see necessary ink missing once you have installed.

  If you need to return the standard procedure is to call HP customer care.

  I hope that everything works with the replacement printer.  I also hope it is resolved quickly!

• DeskJet 2540: Deskjet 2540 print and Scan works on Windows 10

  I have installled, uninstalled and reinstalled the software half a dozen times now, on my Windows 10 machine, but I still don't have any interface to scan documents.

  The installation process has shown a success install and I was able to recognize and connect to the printer. In my Start menu, the new option 'Scan & Print' is there, as shown in the screenshot (click on the screenshot to the size of the full image).

  But when I click on the option, instead of the usual analysis and the dialog box print, I am faced with a new printer 'Connect' and 'Add more software' options (see screenshot below).

  How can I get to the good old scan dialog box?

  Among others, I used to have an option here to scan directly to PDF. This option is not accessible from anywhere on the machine and is something I desperately need to back.

  Has it been removed from version 10 of Windows? I ran a search for "Scan" computer, but the only options I get are native Windows analysis (which works very well for the individual photos) and this dialog box. Nothing that would allow me to scan a document of several pages in PDF format
