HP Deskjet 2540 - run with XP Service Pack 2 (2 machines, one other 512Ram 2048 RAM)

Hi, I wonder if someone could give me some advice

Try to get a new an all-in-printer for my elderly father who has 2 machines, a desktop computer with XP SP2 and 512Ram and a laptop, I gave him with XP SP2 and 2048 RAM

He has no internet access if they're independent, but he needs a new printer and the Deskjet 2540 seems to tick all the boxes for him, BUT everything I've seen suggests there XP SP3 as the minimum.

If the 2540 do not, is that someone could suggest an alternative similar basic spec machine that would work for systems that there

Thanks a lot S

If we had a go at the download for use on the laptop - there were a few problems, but in the end, we managed to get this working

It's questions and that's how we overcame the

1 no internet connection on the machine, downloaded the link on a stick of a connected machine, copied on the laptop and I tried to extract and run. Excerpts, but would not go beyond Set - up. Tried several times, even issue and tried to connect to microsoft.net framework, saying that they had the 3.5 version to continue. (only version 2 on XP laptop)

2 used in m/c to load the .net framework 3.5 on memory stick, transfer it to laptop and run, but still kept trying to connect to the internet to run it out of there.

3 so focused in trying to establish an internet connection and wifi on the laptop. After a lot of pain reached this, went to the site of microsoft and .net framework 3.5 directly downloaded on laptop with the statement to execute. Has taken a while but it downloaded and installed. Computer restarted-watch installation qualified.

4 then tried the same thing with the HP link above - IE a download direct and executed. He ran, followed the instructions and connected the printer when requested. All steps except activation - wouldn't connect on the HP Web site link.

5 creates a document word on the laptop, tried to print it - that prompted a test page and the mod by placing the page printed on the scanner. At the end of the word doc printed. Clicked on the button to say activation to change the time.

Printer 6 now seems to work fine, just like Copier and scanner - we keep our fingers crossed that it continues!

  • Problem with Update Service Pack 3

    I am running Windows XP with SP3, even automatic update repeatedly wants to install it, or maybe he wants to install an update, for it is written 'Update 1 1.'  Several times, I get a message 'fail' when it tries to install the "Update 1, 1."  I wonder if it is not recognizing the SP3, or if it fails to update SP3 - whatever it is, this problem could make my computer vulnerable to viruses, etc..  Help this issue would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thank you for your response.  It turns out that I was doing a lot of maintenance you suggested, and I've done the other things you suggested, but the problem persists.

    It says "installing Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) update 1 of 1.  It seems he'll have success, but then I get the same old notice of default and the yellow shield with the! is displayed again.

    This is NOT Windows XP service Pack 3, or really have anything to do with Windows XP.

    My suggestion is

    Locate your installation of Microsoft Office 2003 (CD) media and product key (should be on the CD case, but you can also use Belarc Advisor to analyze your system and get your product key for Microsoft Office 2003)

    Uninstall Microsoft Office 2003 Panel--> Add / Remove Programs (and everything associated.)

    Restart the computer.

    Install Microsoft Office 2003 for your support of installation and usage of your product key.

    Restart the computer.

    Search and install all updates critical/high-priority http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, restart and check again and repeat this process until there are no more critical/high priority left.  Ignore all optional updates for now.

  • Problem with Vista Service pack 2

    Like a fool, I downloaded and installed this service pack.  Now my computer restarts.  I spent 12 hours with the technicians MSFT trying to solve the problem, and I still have the problem.  MSFT says the problem with my DELL hard drive.  DELL said that the hard drive is fine.

    I even reinstalled windows - take 3 hours - and I still have the same problem.  I tried to start in safe mode but after loading the files a few dozens, my computer crashes.   I can't to windows to open.  I can't go to my office.  I can't remove this insidious update.

    I can't completely clean the computer I have important files that I'm going to lose.  MSFT and DELL say I need to have a tech shop and have them remove the disc and save my files.  I want to know who will pay for what is not my fault.

    Help, please

    Hello

    One of the easiest ways to remove your data is put the drive in an external USB enclosure and
    Copy the files to a different drive or just use this as an external drive and install a new in your
    computer. Don't forget that looks like the system has problems and I bet it's the hard drive
    drive interface controller card mother.

    Another real possibilities, is that you have a Rootkit that is causing the problem.

    Good luck.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: Scanning with Hello multifunction

    I'm trying to set up my second HP Deskjet 2540 on Mac OS X 10.10. I can see the printer in the Add Printer dialog box and it works as a printer when adding, but it only offers the possibility to add it as a 'Hello' instead of the meaning of "Hello multifunction" OS X does not provide the functionality of the device scan. My other office seemed to offer it and therefore the ability to analyze using the construction in Mac OS X tools rather than install the suite complete driver HP.

    How can I get this also disabled option Hello multifunction printer?

    When it is installed with just 'Hello', showing that 'gender' scanning option is not present in the printer dialog box.
