DeskJet 2540: Change cartridge then won't print

Print and photocopy OK. Lights began to blink. Ink ran out. Change cartridges. 300 HP. Manual says would print a page automatically. Does not have. Lights continue to Flash. Not photocopy - press the button, lights flash, nothing else. (Off several times). Try to print via WiFi, says printer problem.

What should do?

Hi @evennewerbie,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that you can not print with your HP Deskjet 2540, and the lights are flashing on the printer. I'm happy to help you!

I recommend you to go through this guide, lights flashing on HP Deskjet 2540 and printers all-in-one Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545and proceed to question that matches best the lights flashing on the printer.

I hope this guide is useful!

  • HP Deskjet 2540 All In One: Unable to print color?

    I have a Deskjet 2540 brand new all-in-One. Printer is delivered without any instruction manual. How to print color? I hit 'print' of my document and it comes out in black and white. When I type on the printer, the 'color' button, it draws just a piece of paper through the unit and nothing is displayed at all. I do not understand this crazy thing. My old printer didn't need me to tell it to print color or black and white, that he knew what was coming through the system. I'm about to make this thing.

    Thanks, actually it would print test print color, just not when I tried to get a print document in color. new printer, new cartridges. Change my selection of the printer of HP Deskjet 2540 2540 Deskjet series just seemed to settle, I don't know why. I just mention it here in case other Mac users have the same problem.

  • DeskJet 2540: cannot convert mac wireless usb printer

    Hello

    I'm having a problem setting my printer all-in-one Deskjet 2540 on my macbook (osx El Capitan). After basic implementation through usb connection, I was able to connect my printer to my router, which makes possible wireless printing. I was then able to print wireless from my phone using remote control all-in-one app.

    However, I now want my macbook to establish a wireless connection to the printer instead of the usb connection that is used for configuration. I can't find the option to convert a usb printer to a printer that is connected to the wifi. When disconnecting from usb, laptop computer notes the connection with the printer is lost. To install my printer, I use the HP Utility software, in which I can't find such an option. Also, when passing through Apple-> system-> printers and scanners preferences I can't find an option "convert to wireless. I also read a method via Finder-> applications-> HP and then an icon for installing the software & should be there? In my case, there is only the HP Utility icon which directs me to the same program in which I could not find the option.

    What I was looking for, and where can I find it?

    Might be a little exaggerated description, but I hope that this makes it extremely clear...

  • DeskJet 2540 - letter size copies do not print low half inch

    Setup: Deskjet 2540, Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), wireless connection

    Problem: with a letter size (8 1/2 x 11) original, pressing a button on the copy translates copies that Miss the bottom 1/2 inch of the original.

    If I scan the original even, save as a PDF file, then open it in Adobe Reader, then file/print prints the whole page only if I select 'Fit' or "Shrink oversized pages" (resulting in a reduced size copy) - otherwise the printed page will be still absent of the bottom 1/2 inch of the original.  Is not an acceptable workaround, because I need format copies of the original set of format letter with all the content of its original size. Isn't this possible?

    The specification for the Deskjet 2540 margins are 0.57 "for Windows systems and 0.47" for Mac or Linux, see here for more information.

  • 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 has made a software change, so now when I try to print it says 'save the output as', but there are two problems: (1) I don't want to save the output of printing to a file - I just want to print the document, like HP used to let me do. (2) even if I enter a file name, it does still not print.

    Hi @M156

  • HP Deskjet 2540 cannot delete a print job

    I have a Hp Deskjet 2540 I want to cancel a print job to page 8, and I can't remove it outside of Quebec, repeat me the removal

    but he won't, I use a wireless connection. I tried to use the cable connection, but it is not yet clear.

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

    Kind regards
