• DeskJet 2540: Scanning error

  Nothing wrong with printing - the computer recognizes that she and I can print etc. However, I am unable to do two things:
  1. install the wireless connection
  2 do the analysis. When you use the "print and Scan Doctor", I get this message:
  Driver error: the scan driver is unable to communicate with the product.

  I removed and reconnected the power cord and restart the computer, but it still does not work.

  I jumped the scan after that and found that everything (except Driver and HP Twain Scan error check) has a green check mark.

  Would be grateful for the help. Thank you!

• HP Deskjet 2540: Scanner Communication cannot be established.

  My scanner does not work. I am connected by USB. I've tried everything suggested by HP print and Scan doctor. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software for the device, but it still does not work. I'm very angry because it worked fine for 3 months. I went out of town for the winter holidays and took my computer with me. I left my HP Deskjet 2540 to my apartment. Now that I'm back it no longer works.

  Here are the mistakes doctor analysis gives me:

  Driver error:

  The scanning driver is unable to communicate with the product.

  HP Scanner Twain error:

  I followed the steps, he told me but even after restarting the computer of the Scan Doctor is unable to solve the problem and he just told me to come here and ask online. I really need this scanner set as soon as possible for my work in the classroom. It is very frustrating that my HP Deskjet 2540 broke shortly after buying it.

  Too bad. Solved the problem by changing a connection of 3 USB-a USB 2 connection. For some reason any Scanner HP Deskjet 2540 cannot use via a USB 3.0 connection.

  I don't know why it is exactly, but that's what I did and now it works.

  Hello AsusMan,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

• HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

  After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

  I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

  Thanks for any help you can provide

  Hi there @lesart55.

  Welcome to the HP community!

  I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

  I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

  Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

  Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

  Press the power button to turn the product on.
  With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  Wait at least 15 seconds.
  Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
  If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

  If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

  An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

  I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

  source

  1. first of all, you'll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator" (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the search box).

  Note that it works the same in all versions of Windows. It just search for cmd and then do a right-click on the icon of the command prompt in the start menu or the boot screen.

• DeskJet 2540: Ink cartridges Deskjet 2540 because out of the box

  I just implemented the Deskjet 2540 I bought yesterday, using the black and tricolor cartridges 301 which is entered in the box. Both cartridge lights are flashing now, and I get the error message that cartridges have failed. I tried to remove and reinsert the cartridges, power cycling the printer according to the instructions in the HP support and gently wipe the contacts on the cartridges. Nothing has worked. It seems that too much of a coincidence that the two print cartridges are defective right out of the packaging. Any ideas?

  Time to take it for a refund or a replacement.

• 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.

• All-in-one Deskjet 2540: Brand New Deskjet 2540 - "cartridge is Incompatible - black ink cartridge.

  I just got a new HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one yesterday, ordered from amazon.de, went through the installation of software on my 2015 Macbook Pro running OSX Yosemite, deleted the band contained in 301 ink cartridges provided, placed them in the printer (tricolor on the left, in black on the right) without touching the electrical contacts or the ink nozzles and tried and align the ink cartridges.

  I met an error message:

  'Incompatible ink cartridge.

  Black [K]

  The cartridge listed above is not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured.

  Please see using printer. "

  Strange, but no matter, the bad seats maybe. I opened the drawer, removed black and reinstalled. Same error message. Well, I ordered an extra authentic HP 301 XL knowing I would run on Finally, maybe my ink cartridge provided was bad. I removed the 301 XL tape and installed. This time, no message error, but as soon as I went to print an alignment page, I received the same error. I went back between cartridges and sometimes I get the printer to accept it, but any attempt to use the printer caused an error message.

  So I went on this forum, found a few tips on how to solve the problem. I tried the resets seats and the relocation and hard. Same error message. I went to clean the contacts, using a cotton swab, filter coffee and bottled water Jig only contacts of eletrical on two ink cartridges (normal and XL) and contacts of printers. I let them dry for 10 minutes and reinstall. Same error message, no progress.

  I'm at a loss for what to do that this is a new printer and I say to myself that I would not have this much trouble. If I could get advice on what to do and more: seats/resettlement, cleaning the contacts, hard reset, it would be appreciated.

  HI bchowseph,

  I found some information about the printer product Specifications.  It does not list the cartridge 301 for Western Europe.  The 61 is for North America.  I think I made the assumption that you were in the United States (my bad!)

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-DeskJet-2540-all-in-one-printer-series/5295960/model/5295961/document/c03811750/

  I greatly apologize for the confusion!

  Yet, the printer should accept the cartridges you had - so I think I can get a replacement printer is the right course of action.

  The ink cartridges should be OK for a few days in an airtight container.  You may need to run a routine cleaning cartridge if you see necessary ink missing once you have installed.

  If you need to return the standard procedure is to call HP customer care.

  I hope that everything works with the replacement printer.  I also hope it is resolved quickly!

  Don't think it's my AntiVirus because I run the same on my old desk.

  Security software installed on your computer is designed to protect your computer against threats, but sometimes can block communication between devices and can cause problems when using your printer or install the software.

  A quick troubleshooting technique is to disable your firewall/antivirus and see if the problem goes away. Remember to re-enable your security later.

  You can see the category 'firewall and software provider specific security information' of this site; Security and firewall information if you would like more information on your security software.

  When you have downloaded the software fact all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 Printer series full feature software and drivers - download version 10 of Windows?

  

  I would try this;

  1. Unplug your USB cable.
  2. Click on the Start Menu, find and open devices and printers.
  3. Right-click on any printer that refers to this model, then click on remove device (so delete all HP Deskjet 2540 s in here)
  4. Then repeat installation, unplugged the USB cable and see if the installation detects the printer already on your network.

  Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.
