DeskJet 2540: Cannot download the driver file

I need to reinstall my printer I changed the settings on my router and WiFi.  I tried three times to download the driver file - 2540_188.exe.   It seems to take some time every time that I tried and when I try to open it I first get a wanring of security of Windows 10 and if I by that and try to open the file I get a message "file corrupted".

Please can someone help?

Welcome to the community @brianardmore HP

I came across your post about problems you encounter when you install the printer on your system Windows 10 and wanted to respond to my suggestions.

I recommend power cycling network devices and a clean boot on your computer and then try to install again.

1. turn off the printer and the computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press the buttons on the router).

2. plug the router back in and wait another minute, turn on the printer and the computer.

3. from the computer, start clean: clean boot instructions

4. download and install the printer here: printer install file

5 return to clean boot instructions and allow the start of programs.

Note: the security program you have on your computer may be detecting the printer as a threat. Try looking through the settings in this program to add the printer to the list 'allow' so that he knows that it is safe.

You can also try installing the printer using a different method, such as if you are installing wireless, try USB and then convert the USB wireless when you have completed the installation.

If you have any questions let me know the details. Good luck!

  • Pavilion g4-1100au: cannot download the driver (sp64116.exe)

    Hello, I tried to download a driver for several days, but it stops downloading almost as soon as it starts.

    It is be the sp64116.exe file, but it seems to be a general problem with the download server. When I try with Google Chrome, it stops after about 16 MB (the file is about 350 MB). When I try with Internet Explorer, I get a message saying downloading is interrupted and I went back several times - but it downloads only about 10 MB and then is interrupted again.

    Unfortunately, driver download pages all have some sort of script to download software files. There is no way to enter a URL or use FTP or torrent or something like dropbox to get the file directly.

    Please can you must solve this problem or provide alternative means to download the driver files.

    Another problem with the pages of drivers, is that if you select an OS like Windows 8 and drivers that you need happens to be Windows 7 drivers, then it will not be displayed in the list. Apparently there are several devices to an HP laptop that does not work directly with Windows 8 (or 10?) and you need to get the name of the device (and it is not one easy way to know what devices are built the laptop, if Intel or Qualcomm or Radox or another) and find the specific driver for this particular device file.

    Y at - it another site (other HP sites where the drivers can be downloaded directly or through ftp or torrent clients or something?

    Hello:

    Here is the direct link to the file from the HP FTP site.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp64001-64500/sp64116.exe

    I could completely download this file using Internet Explorer 11 in a few seconds (I have 100 Mbps internet service).

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Why the driver file cannot be "x 86"?

    There is a strange problem for a driver: the driver file cannot be "x 86" under windows XP.

    I have a driver, the driver started the "i386" folder files and I can install the driver successfully.
    can I change the name of folder name to "i386" to "x 86". When I try to install the drver, a message box pop up to tell me "xxxx necessary file", installation failure
    and I can confirm also that any driver so its files to 'x 86' folder, it will be impossible to install. If I changed his name to another name of folder except "x 86", the driver will be installed successfully.
    Why? The folder name is "x 86" is a reserved name for the driver under windows xp? any document referred to this problem?

    Hello chyao,.

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    If I understand what you're asking, you try to rename the folder i386 for x 86?

    i386 is a folder used by windows (one copy installation files) and cannot be changed to raise the questions you had. The file has not to be present for Windows runs correctly, but before maintenance and repair, it is used. In your case Windows was looking for a driver in the i386 folder.

  • Impossible to download the driver (Deskjet F4580)

    Hello

    I recently bought a new laptop and am trying to install my Deskjet F4580 to use with it. The printer is connected to my network without problem as I have successfully run and print the wireless network test and network configuration pages and my laptop seems to recognize that it is there as it happens in my "devices and printers" in my control panel, however he told me that I need a driver.

    I have the installation CD, but when I use it it fails to install the driver. I put it in, follow the instructions in the wizard, the installation wizard where it is said so "of the control systems, the search for updates, download updates, application updates" then disappears completely and it stops before installation the installation is complete. He shows me a list of things it will do, including installing the driver, but he only puts out the first component before disapperaing. I don't know even why it checks updates until whatever it is has been installed.

    This process is repeated exactly the same way when I try and download the driver on the HP site, and I also tried to download the driver of basic with the same results.

    I don't know what to do as my phone tells me that I need a driver before I can use my printer, but I can't download a no matter how I try. I installed other programs on my laptop so I don't think that's the problem, and I checked that the driver is correct for my operating system (Windows 7 32-bit).

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi hkp206,

    It seems that the installation is having some problems with the updates. Is there a way to disable the updates through the beginning of the installation. Once you get to the part of the facility where he asked to accept the terms, there will be 4 lines of text in blue up, which you will be able to click on. Click on the line that says "the use of Internet connection settings." Select 'No' to all options in this window, then click on 'Ok '. Now, launch the installation and let me know if you still have the same problem.
