HP Deskjet 2540: Aware of the printer

• DeskJet 1010: Aware of the printer

  I said to keep my printer on all the time, but a new stops automatically. If something has changed?

  Hi JimG2,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  It is recommended to leave the printer on constantly.  If the printer turns off it is simply because the unit has a built in power saving mode and enters a State of hibernation when not in use.

  When it's time to use the printer, simple press and quickly release the power button.  It will wake up. If you press in and hold the button for a while, it shuts down the printer.

  If a print job is sent to the printer when it is in sleep or stand by fashion, in most units, the printer will wake up and move forward with the print job.

  I hope this information is useful.

  See you soon,.

• HP DeskJet 2546B: Deskjet 2540 stops in the middle of the print page

  I was not able to connect my computer to my pc via wifi a colledge, so I connect my printer via the usb port on my pc (I use the white cable provided with the printer that connects to the back of it). Impression of normal word documents is very well, but I have been tring to print several pages of a pdf file and it stops a few lines of print. No error message, no warning sounds, just stops. The power light flashes too.

  The cord is still plugged, it says in my devices on my pc that is always connected, and I can see the print job in my what. I can delete from my without any problem and it will spit the rest of th page. If I leave without doing anything, he will spit the pages finally after one minute. It will always work in Quebec of the printer, but it won't do anything with it.

  And I can't seem to convert the content of the pdf in word format to work around the problem.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Hi @Roket107,

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

  I understand that you are using a HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One printer with a Windows 10 computer and when you try to print from a PDF file the print job stops printing without any error messages, but seem to print correctly from MS Word. I would like to help.

  I would start by checking the printer software installed by downloading and running the tool HP Print and Scan Doctor. This tool can diagnose and solve many problems of printing software and printer.

  It could also help to ensure that the updates of Windows are updated.

  If HP Printy and the Scan doctor does detect no problem with printing software, perhaps that the software used to view and print PDFs must be updated, or uninstalled, then reinstalled.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

  Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

  My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

  Hey @Sue1990,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

  To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

  Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

  Have a wonderful evening!

  Hi Jim

  Your cartridge is still under warranty, so it is best to contact the HP Support for a replacement.

  You can find details about how to do this (depending on your country) to www.hp.com/support

  Alternatively, you can contact them on the channels of social media like Twitter...

• HP Deskjet 2540: Enlarge/reduce the size of the document during scanning.

  Is it possible to enlarge/reduce size of document on the Deskjet 2540? My wife uses this function to its sewing patterns. If not able, could someone please recommend software?

  Thank you

  Hello

  No function zoom, you 100% het (size) of the original when scan. No need to buy a software, you can use Windows Paint to increase/decrease the file scanned.

  

  Kind regards.

  Printer HP Officejet Pro 8100 operating system Windows 7 in progress

  With the power supply "off" printer, my old printer HP Deskjet 5700 series d autimatically power 'on' on the basis of a print command.

  My new printer, Officejet Pro 8100 seems to require the printer already be in position 'on' before accepting a print command.

  Is this correct or does automatically power 'on' when a command is issued?

  Thanks for any assistance!

  Hello yugretep,

  Please, let me first take the time to say 'Welcome' on the HP Forums.  I hope you enjoy your experience!

  To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I see you have some doubts about the way in which the printer responds when a print job is sent to it.

  The printer Officejet 8600 has a "standby" or the stand depending on the mode that you wake up the printer to the top when a print job is sent to activate the printer.  The printer is designed to be on all the time and if left alone for a certain period of time, it may fall into a sleep or stand-by mode.

  If the printer will not respond on the stand where sleep mode, then it is usually caused by a lack of power.  I suggest that you make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and NOT a power strip/bar.  Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general.

  Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

  Once you have the printer in a wall outlet, use the power button to be able to cycle properly the device.  This will reset the printer.

  Please email me if you still have questions or if you have any other questions.

  If not today, I hear you hope you have a fantastic Thursday.

  See you soon,.

• HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515: The printer does not print in black and white

  Whenever I have print using my "Hp Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515' black ink never gets printed.

  Color ink seems to work very well. The cartridge ink levels are really low. It is a problem since I use black and white for documents without photos. When I print something in black, I get everything just a blank page

  

  I ran hp print and scan the doctor but it did not solve my problem, instead, she updated driver for the printer that was not really helpful.

  Hello, abdulmajid13,

  If printing works very well in the beginning, black print cartridge installed, you screenshot, now the black ink is about 20%. But is that the ink level "estimated".

  I recommend you replace the black cartridge. If the problem is still there with a new cartridge installed, you may need to contact customer service, they will help on troubleshooting below.

  Hope this helps your question.

• DeskJet 2540: Cannot download the driver file

  Please can someone help?

  Welcome to the community @brianardmore HP

  I came across your post about problems you encounter when you install the printer on your system Windows 10 and wanted to respond to my suggestions.

  I recommend power cycling network devices and a clean boot on your computer and then try to install again.

  1. turn off the printer and the computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press the buttons on the router).

  2. plug the router back in and wait another minute, turn on the printer and the computer.

  3. from the computer, start clean: clean boot instructions

  4. download and install the printer here: printer install file

  5 return to clean boot instructions and allow the start of programs.

  Note: the security program you have on your computer may be detecting the printer as a threat. Try looking through the settings in this program to add the printer to the list 'allow' so that he knows that it is safe.

  You can also try installing the printer using a different method, such as if you are installing wireless, try USB and then convert the USB wireless when you have completed the installation.

  If you have any questions let me know the details. Good luck!

• DeskJet 2540 all in one print a few pages and then stop saying printer error

  I'm on windows 8.1 x 64, I use office 2013 pro, I had this problem for some time and now I'm getting really annoyed that there is no solution for it, yet I have searched several sites and forums and nothing. I'm in the middle trying to print something IMPORTANT for the University. I saw someone posted on the use of another driver, but who can't find anywhere and i ' ts becomes so frustrating, I uninstalled and reinstalled, using the software dr anything. someone tell me for gods sake there at - it a fix for this problem, if not I'll get a refund sorted by your warranty cause this is outrageous.

  This problem is now solved for me, my brother helped me find the cause, it turns out that when you use your firewall it seems to interrupt communication on wifi as it print fine with usb and wifi turned off. what you need to do is to find the ip address of the printer and add it to your chest/whtelist firewalls etc., it shouldn't be a problem
