• 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...

• 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 2540: My HP printer connects to the wrong wireless network

  Hello

  I just installed a new network at my place. I'm trying to connect my printer to this new network wirelessly via WIFI.

  BUT the printer keeps on connecting to the previous network, which is an open access network (FreeWIFI)

  I've tried EVERYTHING. I pressed simultaneously the Wireless button and the button to launch the copy in black. The wirelss test report shows that my printer is currently always logged the previous SSID

  Hi @JACE1,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your HP Deskjet 2540 guard wrong wireless network connection. I'm happy to look into this problem of connectivity for you!

  On the wireless test report, must be an IP address from the printer. Try putting the IP address in a web browser, such as: Safari or Firefox, etc. You should see a built-in Web server. Find the network tab and then select it. Then, look for the wireless configuration wizard option. (This should be able to search for the network wireless appropriate for you).

  See page 55 of the User Guidefor more details your printer.

  Hope this solves your problem and have a nice day!

• HP Deskjet 3511 print wireless password Option

  Hello!

  I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to set up a password to print wirelessly to my printer.  I figured out how to set up the e-print option, but NOT what I'm looking for.  I'm looking to set up a password so that whenever someone tries to print through my printer in the wireless option, they would need to enter a password.  (for example.  they want to print a document on MS Word they would need to enter a password, they want to print an article on a Web site, they would need to enter a password).  I think it is after that that they hit the "print" button there will be a pop-up that says the password... something of this effect...

  Thank you very much!!!

  Well on my Windows 7 machine using a printer HP5514...

  Start/devices and printers.  Right click on your printer.  Select the properties of the printer.  Select the Security tab.

  1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.

  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.

• HP Deskjet 2540 won't print pdf file

  Hello

  I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer which was working fine until today when I tried to print a PDF on the net.  I get a screen saying it is flattening, and then the printer makes a noise as if it will work and then nothing.  When I check the device, he says that nothing is waiting to print.  When I tried to print it directly from the internet (using Chrome) it just print plain paper!  When I saved the document to PDF and tried to print, nothing like as detailed above.  I am using Winows 7.

  Thank you very much

  Hi Alain,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see you are having a problem printing PDF documents from the internet.
  I'll be happy to help you.

  I have provided a document through the steps to see if it will solve this problem.

  How to print Acrobat .pdf files? Some PDF files cause blank pages being printed.

  If you're still having problems, then I would run the updates from Adobe.

  Updates.

  If the problem persists, let me know.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
  Have a great day.

• DeskJet 2540 does not print

  I just bought a 2540 Deskjet All in one printer and it won't print any documents. I installed the software from the disk and updated via the web as well. The laptop (vista) sees the printer and the hp software can see the printer but when I try to print a document seems to send it does not appear in the print queue, nothing prints. I used the doctor of printing & scanning hp which gave a green checkmark to everything to the point of test page. The test page will not print and I am prompted to print a test page, it prints perfectly and Dr. print & scan then told me the problem is with the software and to uninstall and reinstall which I was (remove all the hp program add/remove software) before reinstalling it from the Web site and the same thing happens. I tried to use a laptop (Windows 7 starter edition) and it's the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated

  See you soon

• All-in-one Deskjet 2540 fails to connect wireless

  This printer worked fine without thread until I installed a new (AT & T U-Verse) Internet connection.  Previously, I had a combination router/DSL that had wireless 2 sources (hi and lo Band).  The printer connected to a wireless network with the SSID of "Rooter" (stupid name, but what the heck).

  When the modem/router has been replaced by the unit of AT & T, I lost a wireless sender (Rooter) so I tried to change the printer another point of wireless access on my local network named "FBI_Van" (another stupid name).  To do this, I used my cell phone which, at the time, was very well connected to FBI_Van.  I loaded the drivers from the printer to the laptop, connected the USB cable and began to install the printer for the new wireless connection.

  Efforts to do this have failed.  In the window "Select one of the available wireless networks" (after using the link "Convert a USB port connected wireless"), I could see my access point 'FBI_Van' very well.  By clicking on the button "use this connection", asked me to enter password WPA_PSK expression, I did.  It's the same EXACT sentence I used to connect wireless laptop.  The green progress bar went to halfway and then I got the error:

  "Cannot locate the SSID that you entered, try again".  I won't be an SSID, I entered a password that the requested software.

  First of all, I was not one who entered the SSID - this is the software that "judge" and I just clicked it.  Second, the password was perfect without error letter.

  Whne I run the wireless network Test results, using the printer itself (button wireless & B & W Print) he told me that the printer has been tirelessly "Rooter" looking for (and not finding).  The blue wireless LED blinking and the "signal strength" LCD is forced.

  So, after this long explanation of events, what can I do to make this printer to accept a new SSID access?

  Is there a way to reset the printer to "factory delivered" settings so I can start over?

  Bill

  To answer my own question.  Is there a way to reset the part of the printer wireless.  It is NOT mentioned in the manual, but here's how do:

  When the printer is on, stop the LED flashing wireless by turning off the wireless.

  Hold the button cancel (the big red 'X') and the wireless button at the same time.

  Wait about 10 seconds until the power light flashes once.

  Go to the computer that you have installed the printer software on and go down the menu to "Printer Setup and software" and click on that

  Press the radio for wireless configuration MANUAL (do not push the button 'connect to the router')

  Follow the screens to select the wireless network you want, click Next

  The password for the connection of input and let the software connect the printer to the network.

  It MUST work, if not, repeat the operation (I got two times)

• HP Deskjet F4440: Turn wired printer wireless printer

  I see a lot of info on the web lately on turning wired printers and more wireless. Just for fun, I tried my F4440. It didn't work, it was not considered when searched under "Add new printer" in "devices and printers". My question is, can a F4440 be transformed into a printer wireless to connect it via USB to a wireless router?

  Hi @nascarjunky,

  But connect a USB cable from the printer to the router is not supported, it might work. You however will not be able to analyze this way. If you are interested in a wireless printer, you can consider calling our technical support, because they may be able to offer a discount on a newer model. Most of the more recent, if not all, models have the ability to print from mobile devices too. May be worth investigating.

  What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

  Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
  Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
  Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
  Step 4. Scroll down and click on options contact HP - click Get phone number
