Displays only half a page.

I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer all in one and I have constant problems with it!

First of all if I send more than one page to the printer, it prints a page and half of the other. I then return the last page of the printer. I had this problem from the beginning with this printer. The amount of paper and ink that I lost because of this I am starts to think that it is a ploy used by HP to get as much money on ink cartridges as they can!

Second, most of the time I send a document to print I get an error message saying that the printer is offline. However, the printer is online! I have to keep passing the printer then turn it on again.

Really, I can't stand this printer and have only had about 3 months and it has never worked properly!

What's worse, is that you can never contact HP for cat or!

Hi all

We have worked on this problem with printing partial and missing.

To resolve this problem, we have a workaround solution that should help you with people who are facing this problem.

There are some steps to follow to make this workaround works.

(1) set a fixed IP address on the wireless printer, this is to stop printing problems if Exchange wireless printers IP address.

For help setting this up, see this document (it is a wireless connectivity generic document which covers setting up the fixed IP address on HP printers)

Printer keeps no connection Wi - Fi

Please open the Windows Section and scroll down to Solution 3 (it contains Instructions and a video)

(2) add another printer using add printer in the control panel and set it to the default value

(3) change of the driver on this newly added print for the provided HP, one rather than the OS printer driver

Instructions for help with these two steps are attached in PDF format

  • Displays only half a page and screen reads "Document cannot be printed."

    Hello

    I use the printer HP K5400 on a Windows XP PC. I have problems consistent when I print documents from any software I use for example Word, PDF and images. When I try to print, the printer prints half a page, then spits out another page with weird symbols on top. After a few seconds it then prints a test to white, followed by the original document, I tried to print in its entirety. When I start to print, a bubble on the screen tells me that the document cannot print. This problem applies only to this PC the printer works perfectly with other laptops. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer and the usual in him reconnecting and resetting the computer, but none worked. How can I solve this problem?

    Your comments would be appreciated

    Hello iloveprinters14,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.

    I would like to help with the problem you posted on the HP K5400 is not printing Windows XP complete documents. It is good to know that it will work from other laptops.

    I wish you first download and run this critical update to correct a PC Printer Communication issue. After the end I want you to run the print HP and Scan Dr. let me know if everything goes, if something breaks down or if something is set during printing and scanning Dr.

  • Deskjetf2480 only half a page of printing / takes a long time to do anything

    Ive got, this printer for a while now and to be honest not happy with it. Everything has started using it again and replaced the old ink cartridges. The problem is printing only half a page at a time, then pausing for centuries, then spit it out again with only half of a printed page. Its driving me crazy! Ive went through 4 hours of my life yesterday to make it work, that is to say

    (1) reset... did not work

    (2) hard reset... .didnt work

    (3) re install the drivers did not work (4 times)

    (4) cleaned the cartridges and the contacts did not always work!

    Ive followed every bit of advice I could find and now 93 pieces of paper, half of my NEW missing ink, a job end im still no closer to a solution.

    I'm sitting here with a piece of paper, sitting at halfway in my printer waiting a response please help me until the printer is found embedded in my wall. Thank you

    It's definitely a hardware problem then.  Looks like you have tried most of the hardware standard troubleshooting steps.  Take a look at the document below, the link just to see if there is anything in it you have not yet tried.  Other than that, I have a reset, I want you to try, but I can not post the stages publicly.  I sent you a few steps via private Message.  Here is a link that will show you how to use this forum feature if you're not familiar with it.

  • Windows displays only the first page of a multipage document - solutions?

    I recently installed an HP printer on my laptop with the help of a support HP online technician, but only the first page printed - the other eight were empty.

    Also, one-third of the right side of the document (electronic mail) was chopped up, while the leftmost column prints (Windows Live/Hotmail/Hotmail address) in the full preview and printing is not available since I upgraded to IE8 on my laptop HP under Vista Home Premium.

    How do I Center this document so that it will print correctly, and can I add the "Print preview" option in my Google toolbar, or install an another toolbar that includes?

    Thank you!

  • Windows that display only half of the disk capacity

    I have a new laptop HP EliteBook with Windows 7 SP1 is installed. SSD has 500 GB, but the system is only half of the disk capacity show.

    What can we do?  Thank you.

    CHKDSK discovered...  0 KB in bad sectors. 719099 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 89854676 KB available on disk. 4 096 bytes in each allocation units total 60636159 the disk allocation unit. 22463669 allocation units available on disk.

    Coincidentally reduce then extend the volume again?

    CHKDSK is essentially a tool of file system and the capacity of the disc that you see in the Explorer disc property is actually the size of the file system rather than the physical size of the volume, the physical size of the volume is based on the head of sector, while the size of the file system is based on the number of clusters (allocation units).  The file system has a total of clusters 60636159 x 4096 bytes = 248,365,707,264 bytes.

    Different size according to the different tools are both correct, but the file system is not using the entire partition, you need to extend the file system with the Diskpart tool.

    At a command prompt, enter the following commands:

    C:\ > DISKPART
    DISKPART > list Volume
    DISKPART > select volume c (here, you can use the figures given by the Volume of the order list or use the actual letter of the volume, in your case 'c')

    DISKPART > extend filesystem
    DISKPART > exit (exit Diskpart)

    Here is a screenshot of the procedure:

    The file system extension is relatively safe, but as always you should ensure that you have a good backup of your files before doing any kind of work of system disk/partition or file.

  • Inspiron 530 s displays only half screen via HDMI or DVI

    I have a strange problem that I'm seeing with an Inspiron 530 s that I'm trying to get up and running again.  It seems to work fine if I use the default VGA port, but if I try to connect it to a TV via HDMI or DVI, it only appears on half of the screen.  The left side of the screen looks normal (be it screens start Dell or actually in Windows).  The right side of the screen is a series of vertical lines.

    I checked the video card isn't the issue.  I swapped another video card in and it does the same thing.  Both cards work fine in another machine.  I also checked the TV working properly.

    I hung the 530 s on a normal 17 "monitor via the VGA port and I see the entire screen.

    The version of the BIOS is 1.0.0.18 that I understand to be the latest version.

    I really want to get this working, but I'm not sure what to look at this point.

    Other tests established that the 530 s as well as the 531 s (which I could test on both) must have problems with some video cards.  Once I established that the question could be reproduced on both models, I decided that this must be an incompatibility problem rather than a problem with the motherboard.

    I decided to try to get Windows installed despite the half of the screen.  Once I had Windows installed, I changed the resolution to the native resolution of the TV (1366 x 768) and the damaged screen went away.  Somehow, it was fixed even if I rebooted the machine, at this time there and I was able to navigate through the BIOS with a normal screen.  In fact, I was not able to reproduce the problem again until completely stop the machine and remove the power completely.  After that, the machine would still start with display messed up, which would remain until when you start Windows, it changed the resolution of the screen at native resolution and there again it would be "fixed".

    The video card is not really new, but I think that it may have been written in a more recent specification of the standard PCI-E that this motherboard can be expected.  If I were so inclined, I could probably find a video card that does not have this problem, but instead, I think I'll just this weird issue.

  • Satellite A105-4094 display - only half screen problem

    So my screen is showing half, it is a compressed version of the full screen.
    The right of the screen is turned on, but all black and just after the point halfway on the left side is a bunch of image then a strip of black before you see the compressed image.

    The output works very well for an external. I know that this is not the video card. I reinstalled the Bios updated, and I tried to use powerstrip.
    I'm sure it's a software problem as in system devices that my screen appears as flat digital display with a maximum of 1024 x 768 resolution, but the native is 1200 x 800 and it used to describe something else as internal computer monitor toshiba laptop.

    No driver hasn't solved the problem and I can't find a similar problem anywhere!
    Anyone has any ideas of what this could be?

    He used to do this and a restart would fix it sometimes, but now it's just stuck like that.
    If you need photos, I take screen shots later, but I have no available right now...

    You have an Intel graphics card?

    If so, go to the control panel and access the Intel Graphics Manager.

    Here you have to select the display settings and try to put it in full screen (without borders)

    If the problem is related to the software then this accelerated procedure should help you.

    But the problem could be related to a hardware problem too

    In this case he needed a help of ASP.

  • Dell V715w printer only print blank pages

    Recently my dell V715w printer not print any excel files or Microsoft Word. The file will be sent to the printer and it will display only a blank page, but if I try and print something from my email, it prints perfectly.

    I tried a cable and wireless with her impression and seems to fix the problem. I checked to make sure that all drivers are up to date and my ink level is half full, if not more. So, I do believe that it is a problem of low ink.

    Can someone help me? or give me advice on how to fix this?

    Thank you in advance

  • Dynamic hyperlinks as element display only?

    Hi, I need to add a hyperlink on a page, and the hyperlink will be partially derived from an element of the page on this page.

    When I put an element display only on this page with the source as static assignment type and the value to something like:
    <a href="http://webserver/page.html?number=:P2_NUMBER">blah</a>
    It shows exactly that, ignoring the HTML code and it appears as a link.

    Simple, I'm sure, but what I am doing wrong?

    That you define for the item would be its value (of an HTML entry point)
    Try to add to the text of the element as element pre or post

    <a href="http://webserver/page.html?number=&P2_NUMBER.">blah</a>
    
  • Only half page - problem in Internet Explorer

    Hi all

    I have a page being opened in my main application in a new window, almost like a popup. The page seems to be made entirely, as in the xml code is all there for the components.

    The problem is that only half of the page is displayed by the browser. Halfway the window remains my page is simply cut off. You can even click around and use components that are supposed to be there, so its fully functional but half of the content is simply invisible / is not properly displayed by IE.

    This "popup window" works as expected in other browsers. Also, play with the size of our panels and containers does not appear to have an effect. Have you all seen a problem like this for specifically Adf in specific browsers? How can I determine if it is manipulation of EI to part that causes this, or something else entirely?

    Appreciate any advice! Thank you.

    That's the problem with the way you have laid out the component. Best way is, border with colors and see how it gets returned, which would give you an idea on what to the difficulty. Then, see if you have all your components under a stretch throw or if not a group panel layout with layout as book. Maybe this would help.

    Good luck!
