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

  • 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!

  • I tried to connect my printer HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series to my Dell Inspiron 15

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi Bill,

    I tried to connect my HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series printer to my Dell Inspiron 15 for two days without success.  Can you help me?

    Lenora,

    I have a HP DeskJet 2540 on my Dell Inspiron 1545.

    The instructions from HP work so you should be fine if you follow them.  The CD contains a ReadMe file that describes the installation procedure.

    You must install the software first, and only then connect the printer.  Note that you will first need to install it on a USB connection.  You can change this later if, like me, you intend to use it with WiFi.

In the queue, it says "ready to print" and the two buttons wireless to the printer are turned on. It also does not print when I connect it to the USB port. But when I print the test page, which printed fine.

    Hey @bess-stanton1,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you have some problems with your machine printing Mac OSX 10.11 for the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
    2. Turn the printer off.
    3. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
    4. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
    5. Close any programs you have open.
    6. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    7. Hold down the CTRL key and click on an icon of your printer on the left.
    8. Click on reset printing system.
    9. Click the 'more' in the lower left corner.
    10. Select your printer from the list.
    11. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
    12. Click on Add.

  • Re: Deskjet 3520 all-in-one: print black ink NOT...

    I'm having exactly the same problem... It worked fine last time I used it... I put new cartridges of ink inside and black is dead... its crazy that it worked perfectly... have you already found a solution to your problem... His 03:00 and I spent hours trying to fix... I need my printer as soon as possible... I really need help / / I have a deskjet 3520 all-in-one... and all tests come back perfect... even cleaned the print head and everything...

    I actually uninstalled all previous updates for the printer and then is went to the hp site and entered my serial number and the number of product and downloaded all updates for this printer and downloaded printer Dr... After that it was finished I rebooted my computer and printer directs the Dr. PC. It came with nothing wrong, but I chose clean the print head and when he finished he asked if I'd like secondary cleaning too and I chose Yes. After that I tried to print an all black. Page and unlike prior it was not blank it was black, but red stripes then I printed again and the whole page was red but I printed again, and it was perfect... When before id try to print a page in black, he's white... My printer has not messed up at all since and its been a month... It is with its daily use for hours at a time in printing non-stop... I hope this works for you if you are having this problem and found that nothing else seems to fix it try this... It might be useful...
