HP Deskjet 2540: Scanner Communication cannot be established.

Similar Questions

• Scanner communication cannot be established.

  I have a Photosmart 5520 series printer - I've had it for almost a year now.  I've always had no problem printing or scanning.  Out of the blue today, he scanned a letter from offbeat page 3 warped.  I decided to turn off the printer and turn it back on.  Then he started giving me this message:

  Scanner communication cannot be established.  Photosmart 5520 series [4EABA] is currently unavailable.  Make sure that your device is turned on, check the connection and make sure that your network is working properly.  If these conditions are correct, restart the device and try to scan the image.

  I rebooted a number of times, even tried to leave the app scan to desktop and back on, checked the WiFi connection, all good - still get the same message.  I found an ad on this site with HP Scan doctor, but it was only for the PC, and this House is 100% Mac.  Help?

  (LAN on the router or wireless) network printer? You have DHCP on the router (it is by default) and whenever you turn on the printer, the router can give it a new IP address, and it will cause "communication error" because the computer looking at its in-memory data cache, is still talking to the printer on another address. You will need to wait a few minutes for the computer to re - discover the printer, or simply restart the computer.
  If you know how to assign a fixed IP address on the router, do that it can avoid a lot of headaches like this.

  Hello

  According to the error message, it seems like test software communicates with a different printer than the CM1415.

  Open the HP Scan 3 application, located under Applications > Hewlett-Packard.

  Click HP Scan in the top menu, then click Preferences.

  Be sure to select the HP Laserjet CM1415 drop Scanners, close its window and click on the scan button.

• HP Deskjet 2540: My printer cannot connect to the wireless network (SSID is not found)

  Hello

  I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer that is configured to print using the USB cable, and I have no problem printing through it. I just bought a router (D-link DWR116) and I'm trying to set up the connection to the router wireless to my printer. When I use the printer setup & software and select the option "convert a connected USB printer wireless", I can choose to enter into the setting of the printer access the router automatically or manually. These two will come with the same problem where the program is my name SSID of the router successfully but then failed to connect to what the SSID is not found.

  It comes on it comes up with the error message:

  Question: You have manually entered the name of the network (SSID) cannot be found.
  Solution: Check that your wireless router is powered. When to manually enter the name of your network (SSID), make sure you enter exactly including upper and lower case and spaces.
  ============================================================================================

  Which is meaningless because it came with the SSID earlier and I chose what options the wireless network available. I tried to manually enter the SSID, but after entering the password for the router, the same error message appears.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  In fact, I solved the problem. Something about the wifi light on the printer. It can not be flashing, I don't know what the blue light flashes on the wofo of the printer, but I don't think that it means that the wifi is on.

• HP Deskjet 2540: help! Cannot connect to the home network wireless HP 2540.

  So, I'm trying to connect my new wireless printer to my home network.  Yay!  I move into the 21st century!   Not so fast, Buster!

  Here's the run down:

  I ran the installation CD, connected to a USB port when told to find my SSID, entered my password, he did his thing and then he said that I had the wrong password.  Perhaps. Ok.  Tried again with the same results.    Connected on the router (gateway of Technicolor), checked the password.  Nope, it did ' t change.  Tried again, and this time, I hit the button troubleshooting when he told me that I had the wrong password.

  I followed the guide that he d/l would be after the presentation of the error report.  Run the test of wireless network from the buttons on the printer and it says "the WPA security password configured on your HP printer is not your wireless router setting."  I assure you, expensive printer, I have not.

  Jumped on the router page configuration when you are prompted by the guide troubleshooting and ensured that MAC filtering has been set to 'allow all' which, according to the manual of the router assures me, will allow all devices to connect.  Made sure that the 2 GHz range was alive and Kickin ' and that DHCP is enabled in the IPv4 & 6 tabs.  I even reset the router as the troubleshooting guide said.  Ran the test report yet, not logged in.  It is then the troubleshooting guide abandoned and directed me here.

  But then I noticed in the manual of the printer there is a WPS function available!  WPS!  It's must be!   Pressed the button wireless to the printer for 5 seconds to put in WPS mode, press the button on the router... not good.  I noticed that on top of one of the many reports of tests wireless network there is a WPS PIN which was good for 5 minutes.  Got a new a new wireless network test report, went into the router WPS customer PIN login page, entered it... no good.  I tried again with the page, open and ready to go, just in case I took longer than 5 minutes.  Still not good.

  So I thought I would at least give the option 'WiFiDirect' to try printing.  I printed the page "Use printer wireless without a router" by pressing the direct wireless for about 5 seconds, found the printer in the WiFI networks and entered the password to 8 digits when he asked for the WPA key.  I don't remember if he said it was the wrong key or what, but now it just says: unable to connect to the network.

  All the test reports diagnostic results show the wireless on and functional.  Connectivity has not been executed, the SSID was found with no other network corresponding to my network name, with 12 other networks detected.  The settings part was not run and Security (in bold and in italics as in the report) down (in the report) since, I guess, he thinks that I have the wrong password.  Who, once more, I assure you that I am not.

  So my question is basically this: now what?

  Well, I told you a hundred times... Gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   My suggestion is for connect you to put this bridge in full bridge mode device and buy a router of high quality that you have full control over and you.   I gave everything but peripheral gateway troubleshooting.

  Hi @edheubach,

  Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you have problems scanning with your printer "HP 2540". I'll be more than happy to help you with this.

  You did a great job on the problem on your side. Kudos to you on this point. It is always a privilege to work with technical specialists like you. I see that you've tried to reinstall the printer software and also I tried to scan the printer and the software of the printer also. You can also run the utility of doctor print and scan. Brilliant work.

  To help you better, I need the information about it. Please let me know the operating system of the computer. Please let me know the type of connection. Is it connected via a USB cable or is it wireless?

  Please do a hard reset of the printer. To do this follow these steps:

  • Disconnect the power cable from the printer to the back of the printer.
  • Press and hold the power button on the printer for about 20 seconds to carry out the static electric charges built into the printer.

  Then turn on the printer and try to copy the printer. Do not use the scan from the printer function. Please check if the printer copies fine. If it isn't, then the problem is hardware related, and you have to get the printer serviced by contacting support phone hp by visiting this link: http://hp.com/contacthp

  If it copies very well so we can correct the problem by changing some settings of the firewall on your computer.

  If it is a USB connection, make sure that the length of the USB cable is not longer than 6 feet and follow the link given below for further troubleshooting. If this is a wireless connection, please go to the page of the EWS of the printer on your browser by typing the IP address of the printer and try to scan from there. If it does not scan, please disable the antivirus firewall and check if it scans. (Mcafee or Norton)

  I will include some links for troubleshooting issues on your printer scan if it's a USB connection. Please see these links.

  Hello @G_A_M_Mc1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are having problems in offline mode when printing from your computer in Windows 8 for the all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2540. I would like to help you today with this printing problem. Thank you for all the troubleshooting that you tried before reaching out for support, including. To be honest, because this problem occurs via the connection of the USB cable and the connection network, I don't think the problem you are experiencing is related to connectivity. Instead, there is probably a driver conflict between the printer and the computer, or even a problem print spooler occurring on the Windows computer. Can I please you follow the steps below to resolve this issue.

  Step 1: Run Microsoft fix:

  This fix is for network printers. I understand that your printing problem occurs via the USB connection or network connections. However, it is worth trying this fix.

  Microsoft has released a hotfix to correct printing problems in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. Printing problems seem to affect printers on a network, regardless of the brand or model, and there is a conflict with the WSD Windows Network Port. Please click here to download and run a Microsoft Fix it Tool. "Once the site opens for the fix, please click on the button 'available hotfix download". Please follow the prompts on the screen to install the hotfix. Once the fix has been loaded please try again to print. If the printing problem continues to occur, proceed to the next step.

  Step 2: Check the status of print spooler:

  The print spooler is the printing system integrated with your Windows PC. Printers rely on the Print Spooler Service running in order to print correctly. Therefore, I will ask you to check the print spooler service to ensure that it is in good working condition.

  1. Open your screen to Start by clicking the Windows button on the lower left side of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
  2. In the start screen, type run
  3. Click Run to launch the run dialogue box
  4. In the run box, type services.msc and click OK
  5. When the Services window opens scroll down until you see the print spooler
  6. Click Print Spooler once just to highlight
  7. If you Start in the upper left corner that indicates that your print spooler is actually stopped (not good). But we will leave that for now.
  8. If you stop or restart in the upper left corner, this indicates that your print spooler is actually started. Please click on stop to stop the service momentarily.
  9. Reduce this window which will allow us to come back here

  Step 3: Check the print spooler folder:

  1. Reopen your splash screen
  2. Computertype. Click on the computer (or on This PC) when it fills so
  3. In the computer window, select your Drive C
  4. Click on Windows
  5. Click on System32
  6. Click on the reel
  7. Click PRINTERS. You can get permissions to a warning, just continue beyond that.
  8. PRINTERS of the folder must be empty. If there is no file here, they are corrupt print jobs. Right click on anything in that folder and 'delete' files.
  9. Close the PRINTERS folder

  Step 4: Start Spooler and check the dependencies:

  1 open the Services window we previously minimized

  2. click on print spooler to highlight

  3. click on Start in the upper left corner

  4. If you get an error message please take note of this

  5. If the print spooler starts successfully you will see "stop and restart" as your options at the top left

  6. then, double left click on print spooler. A print spooler properties window is now open. Click the connection tab at the top. Can you please make sure that it is set to Local System account and make sure that the check box is selected to "Allow the Service to interact with desktop".

  7. then click on the tab "dependencies". Please check which dependencies are listed. I need to know this if the problem persists when you have completed the steps I provide in this post.

  

  8. click on apply and OK for any changes that you have made the log tab. Close the Services window.

  Once the spooler has been verified and has started, please test printing. If the printing problem continues to occur, proceed to the last step to load another driver on your machine and test print.

  Step 5: Load driver replacing:

  1. Open your screen to Start by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
  2. On the start screen, type devices and printers. Click on devices and printers to launch the window
  3. Under devices and Printers window, right-click on your all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 and left click on printer properties.
  4. Left click on the Advanced tab
  5. Left-click on new driver
  6. When the new driver window just press 'Next' until you see a list of manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
  7. Select HP as the manufacturer on the left
  8. DeskJet 9800 select the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 does appear to only select "Windows Update" at the bottom left and once the update is completed, you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
  9. After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit Next to complete the wizard driver new
  10. Under the printer properties window, select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
  11. Select the general tab
  12. Rename your printer all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540
      
  13. Click OK
  14. Finally, right click on your all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 one more time and left-click on Printing Preferences
  15. Left click on the paper/quality tab
  16. Left click on the drop down menu of 'Normal' for the quality of printing on the bottom right and change its normal fast
  17. Press apply and OK

  Once the other driver has been installed successfully, please test printing.

  Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

• DeskJet 2540: cannot convert mac wireless usb printer

  Hello

  I'm having a problem setting my printer all-in-one Deskjet 2540 on my macbook (osx El Capitan). After basic implementation through usb connection, I was able to connect my printer to my router, which makes possible wireless printing. I was then able to print wireless from my phone using remote control all-in-one app.

  However, I now want my macbook to establish a wireless connection to the printer instead of the usb connection that is used for configuration. I can't find the option to convert a usb printer to a printer that is connected to the wifi. When disconnecting from usb, laptop computer notes the connection with the printer is lost. To install my printer, I use the HP Utility software, in which I can't find such an option. Also, when passing through Apple-> system-> printers and scanners preferences I can't find an option "convert to wireless. I also read a method via Finder-> applications-> HP and then an icon for installing the software & should be there? In my case, there is only the HP Utility icon which directs me to the same program in which I could not find the option.

  What I was looking for, and where can I find it?

  Might be a little exaggerated description, but I hope that this makes it extremely clear...

• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: HP Deskjet 2540 Scan works only in Windows 10

  Have upgraded to Windows 10 (not sure if 32 or 64 bit).  Now cannot scan.  Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, loading HP Print and Scan and HP Support Assistant doctor and does everything that is asked.  However, the software that load every time is just the basic application that allows printing - it shows not all the scanning application.  Tried to use the scan software very basic own Windows, which communicates with the scanner and scans indeed, but not in PDF format (VERY base).  Help, please.

  Welcome to the HP community @Hippy79,

  I understand the printing software will not fully installed for your Deskjet 2540 on your system Windows 10, causing problems of scanning software and I would try to help! Here are my suggestions for you to try. When you are finished, please let me know the results and problems or errors that you may encounter!

  First step: clean boot, restart the PC and try the install again.

  1. start by typing "msconfig" in the search box of Cortana, and then click MSConfig (run command)
  On your keyboard press Windows + R key at same time and type Msconfig in the run window, and then click OK or press ENTER.

  2. now, choose Selective startup

  3. Remove the check of the Load Startup items

  4. click on the Services tab

  5. check "hide all Microsoft Services" and then click on disable all

  6. click apply , then OK

  7 restart the PC and temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus programs

  8 run the Installation Wizard for Windows HP printer to install the printer

  9 turn on the firewall and start services

  Second step: you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer Service:

  1. hold down the Windows key + R to fill the box "Run" and type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
  2. at the command prompt, type msiexec /Unregister , and then press ENTER.
  3. at the command prompt, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.
  4. at the command prompt, type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt.
  5. run the Wizard for Windows HP printer installation

  Step 3: run System File Checker Scan (up to 3 times) to repair the corrupted system files:
  1. go to start
  2. type CMD
  3 right-click and run as administrator
  4. to check and repair the OS type sfc/scannow (note the space between sfc and ' / ')

  You may need to run this upward to 3 times to solve all the problems

  When finished, it will say one of three things
  Windows did not find any breach of integrity (a good thing)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files and repair the (good)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

  Try to reinstall the printer.

  Step 4: activate the built-in Windows administrator account

  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.

  

  2. If you are in Windows 8.x or 10 you can click on the Start button and choose to open a command prompt in this way.

  3. now type the following command:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  

  4. you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you will now see the administrator as a choice account.

   

  You will notice that there is no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled, you must change the password.

  Try to reinstall the printer.

• HP Deskjet 2050 Scanner not Scan to computer

  Product: HP Deskjet 2050 J510 of all-in-One (I don't know if it's a J510a or a J510c)

  OS: Windows 7 64 bit

  Error message: "Communication scanner cannot be established.  If make sure that your product is powered, check the connection and make sure that your network is working properly.  If these conditions are correct, restart the product and try to scan the image.
  If you have installed it printed by IP address, you may need to update the IP address.  Use the IP address update for this printer start menu entry.
  If you are running a software firewall, it can block scan communication.  Please visit www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting for help to configure your firewall.

  Changes to the system before the number: None.  Literally, Nothing has changed on my computer.

  I had this printer/scanner for five days.  It scanned perfectly fine for the first three days.  And then I left it for a day.  When I went to use it today, it would not scan, which gives me the error message above.

  The device is connected to the computer via USB.  It prints perfectly fine, so I know that the computer can communicate with him.  It will be perfectly fine copies, so I doubt that something is wrong with the scanner itself.  I have a theory it is drivers or do magic program scan.

  I turned the unit on and off, disconnected and reconnected it, I tried to plug the USB cable in every single port on my computer, restarted my computer many times, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and programs from the CD-ROM of original installation and on the HP website for driver downloads.  I tried J510a both J510c driver downloads.  I scoured the internet for some kind of solution and found none that I have not already tried.

  I feel that I have tried every possible difficulty.  However, clearly I did not, because nothing has worked.

  I'm at my wits end.   Can someone help me out here?

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello pcwizard,.

  I used the Print and Scan doctor, and I was able to scan and copy.  The problem is that I don't know if this solution will last.  The first time I experienced these problems, the convenience store should check the firewall settings.  I did and allowed the printer using my firewall.  He scanned well, but next time I want to use it, it does not scan. Then, the store said to turn the printer off and then on again and check all connections.  I did and it scanned and copied at the time.  After that, it is to uninstall and reinstall, I did and it has digitized correctly only once after.  And finally, printing and the Scan doctor who recommended connect the printer directly to a wall outlet.  That solved the problem for now and I hope it will stay resolved.  Thanks for your support anyway.
