DeskJet 6540 + Win7 64 bit: time to throw this printer away?

Thanks HP for no more Toolbox. Having just installed one of your dear #97 cartridges, both cartridges are clearly NOT aligned, this text is blurred. Of course, I'd love to align the cartridges but on my new office (made, ironically, by HP), there is no way to do it.

This forum dear colleagues, I am simply out of luck?

Thanks for any help.

Good news. With the connected to old Dell XP 6540, I was able to do a manual cartridge alignment. Now my PDF sample prints with good quality (not obvious blur or ghost), on old and new PCs.

And say that I was planning to get rid of the old machine... not so fast

  • Deskjet 6540 Fast print quality loses chutes

    I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit. I've owned this printer HP Deskjet 6540 for a long time now, so part of me wondered if I should just buy a new printer. However, it works great except for this last issue. In the last few weeks, I started to notice that when I print in draft mode, normal, or fast, the text at the bottom of paragraphs or the end of a page is cut off, wasting the descenders on letters on this line. All retired with hp print and scan doctor. Pilots seem to, etc. If I print in "best" mode, it works fine, with no clipping. He is a recent problem. Any ideas?

    The issue you describe could be caused by an electrical problem between the printer and the cartridge.   I suggest you clean the contacts of the cartridge and printer as shown in the document here.

  • Support for 64-bit driver for Windows 7 for Deskjet 6540 and Colorsmart D5360

    Or 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for the Deskjet 6540 nor the Photosmart 5360 supports the maintenance function is now impossible to clean the print heads. Two of these printers worked fine when they were connected to my XP machine. At HP dumbed down these drivers? Is there a separate program or sequence of façade which will do that for one of these printers?

    Thank you

    I do not know the D5630, but for the Deskjet 6540 you can do a cycle of cleaning of the façade, as follows: turn on the printer.  Press in and hold the power button, then press the Cancel (X) button twice, then release the power button.

    Note that it rare to * never * need to perform a cleaning on the HP cartridges cycle, it would be unusual to the same need forced into the life of the cleaning cartridge.  Perform unnecessary cleaning cycles will use ink and shorten the life of the printer.

  • Simple question - I have the hp pavilion dv5 - 1060 ew, this time with Win7 64 bit running on it.

    As in the topic - hp dv5-1060ew, Win7 64 bit installed, I already own SODIMM 4 GB memory kit KHX6400S2ULK2 / 4G, I hoped to install. There are chances that it will work? As for now, when I use it - the computer is not running the system. If I would like to extend my memory, what would be the best option for me, since I could understand - something to do.

    Thank in advance for any help.

    Hello:

    I think that memory is too fancy for your PC. Have you checked each module one at a time?  Perhaps one is bad.

    If you did, and the PC does not work, then it is not compatible with your laptop.

    I'd go with standard portable memory like this.

  • I have Win7 64 bit ultimate and from time to time when I start PC my card reader drives do not appear in my computer.

    I have Win7 64 bit ultimate and from time to time when I start PC my card reader drives do not appear in my computer. Device Manager indicates that they are working correctly. Sometimes my dvd drives disappear. I have to do a system restore to solve this problem. For some reason any Win7 has problems with storage devices. How to stop these dissappearing from my Computer(or not getting a drive letter assigned) storage devices?  It's very frustrating. And, System Restore is not a way to solve this problem, it's just a quick fix. I have three internal hard disks, three hard drives, card reader external drives, USB keys, disks, etc. I need a way to solve this problem when it happens. So far, happened about 9 times in the last six weeks since I installed Win7 64 bit ATU.

    There may be an update of the motherboard BIOS to solve the problem.

    Otherwise, as your card readers are no doubt attached via USB the usual way to solve this problem would be to uninstall the drives and the USB controllers and devices in the system restore.

    I have a network printer that is shared on a server windows server 2003. I need the driver for win7 64-bit to install this printer. the wizard ask me the driver, Server 2003 does not have it, but I can't find anywhere.

    I search the web site of hp. but here, they write that the driver is already present on the operating system

    I try to install the printer LPT1 local port with internal windows 7 driver and after the command "net use LPT1 \\server\printershared", but it does not work while using the BACK command prompt

    where can I find the driver?

    Best regards

    Try the following: on the Windows 7 machine go devices and printers folder, add a printer, a local printer, create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the computer and the printer), OK, and then click Windows Update, and then select HP Deskjet 5600 Series (HPA) (HP).

  • DeskJet 6540 not recognising installation of duplexer ph5712

    Hello

    Summary of the problem: I bought a duplexer ph5712 to work with my Deskjet 6540. 65xx Deskjets are listed as compatible on the ph5712 box. My operating system (Windows 7 RC1 x 64) does not recognize the presence of the duplex unit, even when I manually put the setting duplex unit installed in the properties of the printer and the printer are in Control Panel > printers & devices not installed to the Installed State. The duplexer is compatible with my printer, but it seems to be invisible to my printer and operating system. Here's a longer explanation of what I've done so far.

    I have a Deskjet 6540 who has always worked very well. I recently bought a ph5712 duplexer. The duplexer has been installed quickly and immediately, I tried a double-sided printing in Win7 x 64 RC1 using a multi-page document in Word 2007 SP2. To print I clicked on print, then went in the properties and choose duplex printing in the drop-down box. I then in the same window below the drop-down list to change the setting to print 2 sides of manual, automatic, but automatic was not available. Then, the document printed with manual duplex printing. The printer driver is unclear of the duplex unit.

    Then I'm gone in done printers & devices, right click on Deskjet 6540, selected printer properties, click the device settings tab. Under the heading Installation Options, I saw that duplex unit has been set to not installed. I changed to installed and tried again the above printing method. This time, automatic was available to choose for printing 2 sides. When printing, I got an error message indicating that the printer does not have a duplex unit installed and offered to print with manual duplex printing. I cancelled and the printer to check the connection between the duplex unit and the printer off.

    I pulled the duplexer from the back of the printer to check to see if the electrical interface on the duplex unit that connects to the printer has tape on it or something to protect it during transport. I did it with the understanding that if there is not a successful connection between the duplex unit and the printer then the printer and the OS do not know that the duplex module has been installed. There was no tape, the connection was fine and appearred to be complete. However I noticed that the duplexer had 4 points of contact, while the printer was only two, which suggests maybe the duplexer is not made to interface with this printer. However, I realize that this duplex module is designed for several models of printers, then perhaps this particular printer model uses only two contact points. The box of the duplexer is said expressly that is compatible with the 65xx Deskjet printers, yet I can't get the printer (or maybe Win 7) to recognize the duplexer is installed. An incorrect interface has been installed on my DJ 6540? I can provide pictures if that helps.

    I tried the method of printing, this time with Adobe Reader 9.0.1 so nothing doesn't. Still, the automatic option was unavailable for printing option 2 faces. I went to the properties of the printer in Control Panel > printers & devices and this time it would not let me change duplex unit installed not installed to installed. Is there a driver problem?

    Any recommendations? Otherwise the printer works fine in Win 7 and has always worked in x 64 Vista and XP. This is the first time I've ever had problems with it.

    EDIT: Added some info.

    EDIT: Revised for clarity.

    EDIT: It seems that every time I change installed Duplex not installed to installed, then go to print in one program, select properties and select in the drop-down box, installed Duplex duplexing varies automatically installed to not installed. This suggests that the printer driver communicates with the printer and the printer responds that the duplexer is not installed. Thus, it appears as the root of the problem is that the printer or the printer driver does not recognize the duplexer. Is there a utility available that will allow me to speak with the firmware to see if it is the printer or the printer driver who thinks that the duplexer is not installed? And is it possible for me to say if the duplexer is DOA (dead on arrival, a faulty device)?

    A phone call with things cleared up HP technical support. It turns out that the only printer that they currently have "compatible with Windows 7" is the Photosmart C4700 and automatic duplex printing does not work on it even if she has a duplexer and he is allegedly "compatible". So, essentially, that HP has suggested that I have to buy a new printer then, get this, I still can't have automatic duplex printing. Pure genius on their part. They were friendly enough, but their support persons were predictable as helpless as the others I've met. I have a feeling that if Win 7 is released to the general public next month that their drivers Win 7 will allow this unit front back working as it should. I can only hope, of course, because it's too late to go back.

  • Satellite L500D - 11 p & Win7 64 bit

    Hello everyone I just bought the Toshiba Satellite L500D - 11 p Notebook PSLK3E-00N00TGR with a Win Vista pre-installed 32-bit & 64-bit. I want to install my own OS Win7 64 bit. First of all, I hate Vista, then I want to use 4 GB of Ram on this point, so I need WIn7 64 bit OS. But his Support Page of the driver:

    NES http://de.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=de&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 856 & selShortMod = 892

    There is no Win7 64 bit drivers for L500D - 11 p. Will there be a period of time, or is there another possibility Toshiba itself will correct that emit little, oder pourrais I just use the 64 bit Vista driver for Win7 64 bit OS?

    I don't know why there r Win7 32 bit drivers, but not Win7 64-bit available.

    Specification of the material of this Satellite L500D - 11 p is almost the same with respect to the following model:

    Satellite L500D-144,
    Satellite L500D - 13H,
    Satellite L500D-14W.

    These 3 NBs have preinstalled Win7 64 bit. Can I use instead their Win7 64-bit drivers? As I said that Win7 64 bit OS is preinstalled, similarly, 64-bit drivers but the drivers download page there are also no Win7 64 bit drivers for these 3 NBs. How is this possible, if they have even their all preinstalled and work? I'm a little confused, maybe more than just a little. But if the 64-bit r only preinstalled and working, where did you get em Toshiba or going where I get them and how much better, where will get 64-bit drivers for Win7 for my Toshiba Satellite L500D - 11 p?

    > These 3 NBs have preinstalled Win7 64 bit. Can I use instead their Win7 64-bit drivers?
    Of course you can do!

    You can try all the unique drivers that have been released for other series as well.
    I mean, in the worst case that the pilots would not work, and you wouldn't be able to install it
    What do you have to lose?

    In my opinion you should try it.

  • Ned for Deskjet 6540 installation CD

    Bought a laptop without CD-ROM and plugged into my HP Deskjet 6540.  Charge Windows drivers correctly.  

    However, to access wireless, I need apparently information from the installation CD I can not use on this laptop.

    I didn't need the drivers, but the information to establish a wireless connection.  Can anyone guide me through the work wireless, or give a link where I can download the information from the installation CD?

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello

    A full Driver & Software functionality is not available for Windows 7, so a CD will not apply.

    The HP Deskjet 6540 includes not wireless by default, only an optional wireless print server, according to the list of characteristics below:

    http://www.shopping.HP.com/shopping/PDF/c8963a.PDF

    To get a better understanding of possible measures, you have such a server to external printing for your printer? We have used you printer wireless in the past?

    If so, do you have the HP Jetdirect ew2400 or HP Jetdirect 380 x wireless print server?

  • HP722c install on win7 64 bit

    Cannot get HP722C to install the new Win7 Pro 64 bit OS. I saw a long post on HP, on a 'bridge', but it assumes that the driver has been installed and that it simply does not work. I can't even a driver to install. The CD will not work, pilot is not on Win7 and HP will not download it from their site. They tell me it's on Win7, but I did twice as dance and he isn't here! Smarter than me knows how to do this 722C works on Win7 64 bit? Now tell me simply and slowly, that I have over 65!

    [Please DO NOT post multiple messages on the same topic.]  [As I composed this message, I see that you posted more than three requests for the same information...]

    There are in fact three separate issues to be addressed:

    1. Most of the Windows 7 computers have no parallel ports and the 722 Deskjet only supports a parallel port.  There are USB-parallel converters that can be used, but many of them do not support Windows 7.  Make sure that the converter (if you need it) supports Windows 7.  The Articles with the tag here have templates that users have reported success with Windows 7.  The port that you select will depend on the model you own, the port will usually USB001: or USB002:.
    2. The pilot is delivered via Windows Update.  Lately he has had a problem with the update to fail.  To check this follow these steps: click Start, devices and printers, add a printer to the local port, LPt1: (for now), then click on Windows Update and wait for the list to repopulate.  If you get an error "Windows could not get a list...". "then see the post here for a workaround.    Once Windows Update has completed and the list is filled again, select HP Deskjet 720, Next, Next, Finish.  (Do not print a test page to this point.)  You can now connect the cable from the printer, then right-click on the Deskjet 720 printer properties Ports and select the appropriate port.  [I have no way of knowing what will be the port for your system.  [Search for a USBnnn: port or see the documentation for your cable converter.] Once this complete and the printer appears in the devices file and printers, you can continue to the next step.
    3. Then, apply the patch available here that solves this problem of the spooler crash.

  • Windows Update stuck Win7 64 bit

    Research of the Internet and the knowledge base, it is clear that it is a very common problem, but still none of the solutions worked for me.

    It is a new installation of Windows 7 64-bit, as well as the drivers for the PC that came on its supplied driver CDROM.

    Windows Update 'Control upgrade' is "checking for updates... "with the progress bar cheerfully do his thing. And there it remains. Let all night and still no change, just loads of CPU devoured initially by TrustedInstaller, then by a svchost process.

    Closing Windows Update leaves the svchost still running at full blast - need to kill the process.

    Tried all sorts of things:

    Disable the firewall.

    Travel.

    In the IE options, add domains Windows Update to the Trusted Sites zone.

    Reregister the DLLs for Windows Update (actually instructions to do what Microsoft message turned out be specifically for 32 bit - half of them do not save on 64-bit using the provided controls).

    Run Fix - it.

    Run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool.

    The last was disconcerting because its results were not exactly consistent with everything first in every race, but finally, he moved to an error 0 x 80070005 (access) refused. Yes, I am the administrator.

    Using procmon on the loop of the svchost process did not reveal a lot - seems to spend most of his time reading HKCU with every 5th reading fault as follows:

  • Windows 7 will not install the driver for hp deskjet 6540

    I followed all the instructions on the site of HP and windows will not find and install the driver for my HP 6540. How to make Windows do what should or is there a reliable place to download the driver from?

    There is a driver recommended relatively complete for the Deskjet 6540 written by HP and Microsoft via Windows Update.  If the automatic install does not work, perform the following steps: connect the printer by USB.  Click Start, devices and printers, adding a printer, select the appropriate port and when the list of printers, click Windows Update in the lower right part of the dialog box.  It will take a few minutes for the update to complete, once that he choose the Deskjet HP (Hewlett-Packard no) 6500 Series.

    If for some reason you can't use the driver provided through Windows Update, you can download the driver from the Windows Catalog site.  The Windows Catalog site requires the use of Internet Explorer.  For the Dsekjet 6500 Series there are three drivers listed.  11.4 Mo is the x 86 32-bit driver.  11.6 Mb file is x 64 64 bit version.  13.9 MB file is the least common architecture IA64.
