DeskJet does not print in vista, but...

Hello.

I have a deskjet 2540 and I have 2 computers, 1 with windows vista and the other with windows 8.1. A few days ago, there was a malfunction of the wireless network and 2 computers can no longer print. I went to install the printer on 2 computers and computer with windows vista I can scan but not print from the computer with windows 8.1 I can print but not scan. What should I do?

Hi @joguirian

I think would be best to start with printing HP and doctor Scan. Printing HP and doctor Scan is a free utility (tool) that allows to quickly solve common printing, scanning and connectivity problems, including but not limited to:

  • Connectivity:

    USB: Check that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product works properly.

    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working properly.

  • Device Status Test: checks the errors of the device, such as paper, paper jams, stands transport and paper issues and provides instructions to resolve the error.

  • Driver: checks the driver missing or corrupt files.

  • Device Manager: check the problems in Device Manager that could prevent printing.

  • Device online: check if the product has been suspended or put in offline and then sets the State back in line if necessary.

  • Print queue: checks and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a newspaper for printing waiting to print).

  • Port Match: check the port settings for the HP product.

  • Device conflicts: check the conflicts with other drivers, such as the other brands of printers.

  • Ink issues: check the cartridges and the ink levels for issues that affect the print quality.

  • Print settings: check and adjust the print quality settings.

  • Test print: print a test page for the assessment of the print quality and provides options for cleaning and if necessary print head alignment.

  • Scan tests: check the scanning mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

If this does not resolve the problem, after back and let me know if there are all the symbols except the Green checkmarks and what they are next of course. The key is not always easy to identify the key and check mart are in the green circle.

  • If you see only the Green checkmarks (), the tool did not find any problem.

  • If you see green sides (), the utility identified a problem and fix it automatically.

  • If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and requires monitoring of the user, but the step was ignored.

  • If you see a red X (), follow the onscreen instructions to fix the problem.

I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Deskjet does not print

    My printer is a Deskjet D1660 and my operating system is Windows Vista.

    I was printing my school schedule when it crowded for a reason. I got out the paper, but now my printer does not print anything. Everything is connected, ok, because my computer still has as an option of the printer and the printer, it is the auto lights up again.

    However, I get an error that says it is printing on a document and I also waiting for documents (from me trying to print my schedule from school many times before coming here to help)

    So, in summary, he says it's printing, but it is not printing.

    I got the machine to prepare without something like what's happening two years before.

    Thanks for the reply but I ended up fixing myself by reinstaling the printer.

  • HP photosmart 8150 does not print with Vista

    Why my printer does not print how can I solve this problem

    The pilots say they work properly even though they may be bad drivers (not always, but often enough). You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers, firmware and/or software (and you should get those updates for the printer and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  The versions supplied with the printer are more likey obsolete and you want the most recent available.

    Do you get errors on the screen or on the printer (and what do say EXACTLY)?

    Pay attention to the installation instructions.  Not only certain tasks requuired, but sometimes they should be done in a certain order or the process will not work.  Check again the indications (or contact the HP support) and follow them to the letter.  Frankly, I would contact HP who willl be faster and much more liekly to work in the end. http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html.  Why fuss about it when they will be more than happy to help you?

    I hope this helps.  Really shouldn't be much more difficult than with the previous printers unless you've never used Vista before - that can make a big difference.  Installation and configuration of sharing are very different.  Also, there may be some settings of the printer itself that need to be addressed to make things work correctly - but I do not (but HP will be).

    Good luck!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610 does not print the files, but other things work

    Hello

    I want to install a whole new 8610 to our computer with WIndows 8.1 HP's OfficeJet Pro and I use a USB cable.

    I installed everything correctly according to the setting (green controls along the + "full installation") and the printer is set as default (also with the green check mark).

    There is communication between the two because I can print test pages (head alignment, etc.) for HP printer app and I can also scan a doc to the PC successfully.

    Despite the light the printer in the print menu, when you try to print, I can't any print file from PC to the printer, an email or a Word doc.

    And what baffles me, is that I can see the printed file go into the queue for a bit of treatment, then it disappears as if it's done, but it is not an activity of the printer.

    I completely uninstalled and reinstalled nothing doesn't.

    This should take 10 minutes to Setup, and I just don't understand.

    Thanks for your help.

  • HP photosmart 8250 does not print with vista Ultimate edition

    I recently installed vista ultimate and my HP Photosmart 8250 does more.  Print jobs are sitting in the queue with a status of "error - printing '." It's a usb printer. I deleted and reinstalled the printer, drivers updated, all the fixed HP update vista, ran the hp diagnostic program (shows all the errors). Check the port mapping (it's ok). Changed the cable.

    The printer works if I connect to a XP computer.

    I'm at the end of my abilities - at this point, I'm about to go back to XP. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

    problem was with the USB driver

    Copy disk files to a desktop directory.

    install from this directory.

    If you see this error again, right-click on the configuration file, and then click Properties > compatibility and the compatibility mode for win 7.
