• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: HP Deskjet 2540 does not print

  I bought my printer a while ago and implemented so I could print wireless from my Mac. The other day I had to print some PDF documents and printed first, but the other two never printed. In the queue, it says "ready to print" and the two buttons wireless to the printer are turned on. It also does not print when I connect it to the USB port. But when I print the test page, which printed fine.

  Hey @bess-stanton1,.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see that you have some problems with your machine printing Mac OSX 10.11 for the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540. I can help you with that.

  To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
  2. Turn the printer off.
  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.
  11. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
  12. Click on Add.

  Please let me know if you can print after you follow the above. If you can, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

• 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

  There is a fix for this, the pilot 2540 don't currently work with the printer on some windows operating systems, but if you use the 990C driver that works with your printer, thanks to Mark of hp technical supports for the fix.

• The red color does not print correctly. Have just replaced the Red cartridge and the problem remains

  HP Color LaserJet 2600n, Windows 7 64 bit

  The red color does not print correctly, it of a weak orange and turn yellow on the edges.

  The problem is, even if we just replaced the cartridge.

  The other colors are fine.

  I'm sorry.  It's a consumer forum and your printer is a product of the company; would be better served on the forum planned for it.  The business forum will be experienced in printers of business community members and expose the post more than members with the knowledge needed to answer.

• My Deskjet 3520 does not print envelopes. None of the proposed solutions work.

  My DEskjet 3520 does not print envelopes.  I tried all the solutions, and none of them work.  My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 3.  The computer is a Dell inspiron 530.   There is noe error messages.  When the envelope comes out of the printer, it is empty.  When an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper is in the printer, the address information prints on the right edge of the paper in landscape format.

  My conclusion is that there is a serious error in the software.

  If there is any workaround I would be grateful to receive them.

  Charlie Wingo

  I simply "duped" the copier and formatted the envelope to print in the center of an 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper landscape page.  It took a few violins, but I've got envelopes printing.

  Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer.
  Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on Printers & Scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen it should show the name of the printer. (Deskjet 2542)

  If the full name of the printer is not correctly, delete and add the printer name back from the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.

• HP Deskjet J110: 8.1 for Windows does not recognize Deskjet J110, does not print. Drive of reloads.

  DeskJet J110 does not test page print.  Removed the printer and reinstall, USb not recognized. Charges such as LPT1. Tried unplugging, reboot and reconnect. Same result.

  Hello Floadnar,

  Have you tried with another Usb cable? DC said that "usb not recognized it. You should check also Device Manager for universal serial bus drivers. Finally, you can try to connect both usb cable to check the work of regular printer usb socket or not. you don't need to install the driver. Simply connect the usb cable between the printer and PC. If both USB works with off problem that should not see the unrecognized Usb device message.

• HP Deskjet 3050: deskjet 3050 does not print the JPG files in color - all other documents are printed only in black and white

  Dear all,

  I have a problem with my Printer 3050 Deskjet. (USB connected with my laptop).

  My printer does not print documents colors in color, but only in black and white (with the exception of JPGs (photographs) which are printed in color.

  Word or PDF documents (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if they are in color.

  Copy of pages in color on my printer is not a problem.

  This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.

  Cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.

  Could the problem be associated I could have changed by accident print settings.

  Thanks in advance for your advice.
