HP deskjet 2540: HP 2540 printer will not connect to new router

Hi, we just changed internet service providers and the printer will not connect to the new router, our HP laptop computer presents the printer in the list of network devices / wireless, but will not accept the password of network to the router when I ask him to connect. Makes me crazy! I have re-installed software etc. to connect the drive and make me anywhere I hope someone can help!

Replacement/change your wireless router, try here.

http://www.HP.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-Help3.html

Make sure that your router is set to a fixed channel wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.  Try channel 1 first and then the other one at a time.  Make sure that the printer and the router are spaced at least 5 feet.

However, if you have a gateway device (modem + router), all gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   If this does not work, suggest you put this bridge in full bridge mode device and install your own router of high quality that YOU have full control over.

    Hello @longess,

    Welcome to the HP support forums.

    I understand that you have acquired a new router and get your Deskjet 3050 has connected to your new network.

    I would like to help.

    The blue light is flashing on the printer indicates that the wireless radio is on, but the printer is not connected to a network. This is the situation. You have a new router. The printer must be on the network.

    So the next step is to get the printer on the network.

    The deskjet printers family is usually USB wireless setup.

    This causes an obstacle when you use only a Chromebook.

    Chromebook does not support the software needed to turn the printer on the network.

    If you have access to a Windows or Macbook notebook, the following link will help you place the printer on the network.

    Configure the printer to a wireless network for the HP Deskjet 3050 a and 3070 e-all-in-one printer series

    I have something you can try.

    Check out this post from Sunshyn2005.

    Re: Deskjet 3050 does not connect to my wifi network

    If this message does not help to get on the new network printer, you will need to borrow a Mac or Windows computer.

    Good luck

  • HP Deskjet 2540: Printer does not connect

    Hello! I managed to connect my printer via the cord, but all my efforts to connect wireless have not been successful, even after you install the drivers appropriate for Windows 10. It seems to connect and to detect the router but when it promts me to enter information to check the connection, it does not connect. He also promts me to enter the information that is displayed on the printer, but it is not anything related to this wireless network. Help, please!

    Hi @paige101us and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you have connectivity problems.  I would like to help!

    I would recommend your computer off.  Once the computer is down, unplug the power cord from the printer and the electrical outlet and remove the power of your router for 60 seconds.

    After 60 seconds, reconnect the router.  Once the router has started broadcasting, reconnect the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    After that the printer is turned on, run the wireless configuration.

    I also suggest this document:

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Printer will not connect via USB

    HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected." When printing, nothing ever comes from queue.

    Diagnosis is only that something is stuck in the queue and remove the task from the queue, but does not. Diagnostic shows no problem.

    The lj1022 printer accepts data from two other computers, as well on Windows xP and using the same cables. Three other USB ports have been tested on the new Windows 7 computer without results. The USB ports on the Windows 7 computer accept keyboards, mouse and flash memories wireless dongle without problem. The Windows 7 computer also sends data to a printer wireless with no problems.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • V525W printer will not connect wireless

    I just moved and had to change my ISP.  Now, my V525W printer which was working fine, will not connect wireless.

    When I try to reinstall the printer, the program stops after I connect the USB "put in place by cable".  The CONTINUE button dark rest.

    I tried every suggstion I find on the Board for more than three hours and still not get this piece of junk to work.

    I have an all-in-one Dell XPS running Windows 7 machine.

    Can someone please?

    Rick,

    After a few "cooling off" days, I decided to TANOE this problem again and it seems that I finally work!

    I went in the menu on the printer and restore the default settings.  I always had the same problem with the Installation of the Dell program I went into the Windows 7 Control Panel and clicked on "Add a wireless device to the network."  He immediately recognized the printer and I followed the steps until the light green enabled WiFi fixed.   Then, I went through the installation of Dell again and was able to print, scan, etc.

    Thanks again,

  • HP 5530 Envy: Would print not; Software reinstalled now printer will not connect

    I printed 2 pages of a document and another need.  When I went back to try to print again, it got stuck and would not take the step to go to HP ePrint.  I tried 2 other times.  Then I cancelled all print jobs 3 and tried to print something different.  Jobs canceled is stuck trying to cancel, and the other document would not print.

    I checked the edits and reinstalled the printer software.  Then I unplugged the printer, and it wouldn't reconnect.

    I uninstalled the software, reinstalled, printer does not connect.

    Restarted the computer, printer does not have to connect.

    I had this problem before, but not for a while.  I guess it's a problem with Windows 10.  I was going to make the resolution of the problems, but it is configured for Windows 8.1.

    I ended up going to the support page for my printer, so the link that you sent in step 3 of solution 1.  I looked through the help desk, but they do not have my problem.  Then, from there, I stopped using these steps and went to the software and drivers link to see if something was missing.  It shows all of the software I have access to, but it is not very clear from this first page on what I actually need to add.  I downloaded the HP Printer Wizard and follow these steps, and now my problem is solved.  However, at the end of step 2, he said that if my printer was connected to the radio, I should stop troubleshooting.

    As I said before, it was not a matter of my printer is not not on my wireless connection.  When I double click the icon of the printer front and selected 'add a new printer' he would not this process.  The wireless never disconnected.  The rest of my computer just not see it.  While I was with the installation wizard, he says that most of the drivers were there but some elements were not, so that solved the problem.

    Thank you for your help.  Although not exactly what I asked, you still have the page that solved my problem.

  • Printer will not connect, do not accept access code

    Hello

    I have a HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z.  We have been connected to a wireless network, then moved. We kept our same cable service, etc.  I tried to print from the same computer, but you get the status message that the printer is not connected.  The wireless light is on, I have turned off the power to the printer and the router, on again.  I have checked my router password and have tried several times to enter every other option password we have, but still not wrong password message.  I have Windows Vista and do not know what else to try.  Is there a way to completely circumvent the password option?  Thank you very much!

    Thanks for getting back to me. I have check the router password. I decided to uninstall/reinstall the printer and it is fine now.

    Hi brugar,

    Thanks for getting back to me with the information on the computer.

    I have a few steps we can take to try to solve this problem.

    First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. 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.

    Please remove the USB from the printer and computer, and leave that it disconnected until further notice.

    Please click on the link that explains the steps to uninstall the printer software.

    Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer.

    When the computer is back running, disable the firewall or anti virus protection so that it does not all conflicts cause when we do the installation.

    Please click on the following link for the HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers.

    Save the file on the desktop so that it creates its own icon.  This will make it easy to find download.

    Double-click the new icon and follow the installation steps.  The installation will prompt you as to connect the usb cable then please do not it connect before hand.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

    Thanks for your time.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are trying to configure a Deskjet 2540 to work with a couple of Apple devices. This printer is the best Setup on a network with the printing software and a computer, with that said, it can also be done with an iPad.
