• BlackBerry smartphone how to configure and use e-mail without BES

  Hello

  I'm trying to figure How to configure and use e-mail without using a BES.

  I checked with the local telephone company. And the number is not ascociated with any service of BES.

  The entry of services show no indication in this sense.

  In addition, the configuration of SIM card show that everything is disabled. This means that the phone is unlocked. At least that is my understanding.

  However, even after a wipe, the BB device does not set up an e-mail account, as described in the manual. He keeps asking for a BES activation first.

  What will do that disappears?

  And to allow the configuration of the "spam"?

  Just develop the right answer given by JSanders, you can always access your email accounts and social networks (facebook, twitter, google +, etc) on your phone, you will just have no notifications PUSHED to your phone.  You can access the internet on your phone in order to access these accounts, but it should go to them.  With BlackBerry Internet Service activated on your phone account, RIM will push these notifications of new emails, facebook messages, new tweets etc. for your phone.  That's what you'll be missing out on without active BIS.

  I wanted to just make sure that there is no likelihood of confusion.

• 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.

  Indeed, if this help you to achieve a solution please click the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

• HP Deskjet 2540: How to print only the Page showing

  How to fix my printer to print just what is on the screen?

  For example, I am trying to print the list of the NBA team, which shows on the screen, but when I hit print, it prints five pages and the list is divided between the last two pages.

  I used to have a nice little program, years, called "Print Screen", which I was allowed to do, but it became obsolete.  My HP 2540 is new and I have the CD with any software.  Is there something out there that will help you?  TIA

  D-S-N

  Thank you banhien, but as I mentioned in the post, the list was divided between two pages when it print so choose page I was only half of the team.  However, I found a solution, provided by HP and ready to install.  I remembered a window asking if I wanted to install "HP Smart Print" shortly after I installed my new printer to appear.  I didn't know what it was, I went on it.  I shouldn't, because it's actually the version of HP of the old program 'Print Screen'.

  It allows you to choose from, with the mouse, the entire page or a part of the page, preview and enlarge (up to 200%) or to reduce and print any number of pages you want.  Really great!  I found it waiting to be installed in 'Tools' on the menu of Office Windows 8.1 under "HP Smart Print 2.1".»  As soon as it is installed and I went to the for use, he informed me that there is a 'Smart Print 2.7' update available, I did, it only took about 30 seconds and he was.  It works perfectly.

  A second solution is to go out tomorrow and buy another victory. 8.0 HP keyboard, to replace my five-year-old wireless keyboard HP Deluxe Desktop which is supported only through Win XP and who does not the "Prnt scrn" button  I guess it is old 32-bit and 64 - bit.  Hitting "ALT - Prnt scrn" used to work with XP and earlier operating systems.

• HP Deskjet 2540 won't print pdf file

  Hello

  I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer which was working fine until today when I tried to print a PDF on the net.  I get a screen saying it is flattening, and then the printer makes a noise as if it will work and then nothing.  When I check the device, he says that nothing is waiting to print.  When I tried to print it directly from the internet (using Chrome) it just print plain paper!  When I saved the document to PDF and tried to print, nothing like as detailed above.  I am using Winows 7.

  Thank you very much

  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.

  Hi @JACE1,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your HP Deskjet 2540 guard wrong wireless network connection. I'm happy to look into this problem of connectivity for you!

  On the wireless test report, must be an IP address from the printer. Try putting the IP address in a web browser, such as: Safari or Firefox, etc. You should see a built-in Web server. Find the network tab and then select it. Then, look for the wireless configuration wizard option. (This should be able to search for the network wireless appropriate for you).

  See page 55 of the User Guidefor more details your printer.

  Hope this solves your problem and have a nice day!

  I tried to access the built-in Web server by http: address on the sheet, but it fails to open - saying that I am not online.

  Help!

  What I need is to access the original password or power is then set up or deselct password for the use of the wireless option.

  Any suggestions

  Onalayah

  Professor!

  and anyone who can run in this situation...

  If you run Yosemite 10 and you find yourself unable to access directly on wireless Deskjet 2540 because you do not have the password

  AND

  You can not access the EWS page by the directions on the map generated when you hold down the button wireless live 3 seconds...

  Try this

  Make sure that the direct wireless (on the printer) option is turned on

  Go to your control panel (icon usually appears on your dock, it looks like a gear)

  Clikc on double

  Double-click Printers & Scanners

  Select the 2450 Deskjet icon that has the green light next to it. (if you have more than one icon - go in your wifi settings and select HP-PRINT--Deskjet 2540 series)

  OR

  Click on the printer that the printer has been selected.

  Click settings

  Click on see the printers Web page - this will take you to the EWS

  Your browser opens a page that will display the SAP - there is a saying, that you will be redirected to a secure page and your browser may display a message on the connection, or the security certificate is invalid. If, in order to follow the instuctions to accept the certificate. Click OK (and double check DON'T SHOW THIS OPTION if you want to)

  The EWS page opens in the NETWORK of the top menu tab

  Select Wirless live in the left menu (it will take a few seconds to process)

  You should now see the situation of Direct Wirless, Pasword and HP wirless live direct name

  To change any of these settings click on "change settings" at the botom of the page.

  After you save the new setting go to your wi - Fi (via the icon in the main menu bar (at the top of the page right quaderant of your screen or through 'Network' in your control panel))

  Choose the HP Print... network, and then type your password (if you selected this option)

  IMPORTANT NOTE:

  If you use direct wireless you may not be connected to the internet at the same time - this was my case.

  Hope that helps and bye for now.

• 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

  Lally

  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.

• Printer HP Deskjet 3525 does not connrct wireless without router.

  I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet 3525. I have Windows 8 on my laptop. I have a router and want to use the wireless function. I downloaded the necessary drivers, because the cd supplied with the printer that it is only compatible with other Windows operating systems.

  I can connect to wireless on my laptop, but when I try to print wireless, it does not see the printer.

  Before, I chose the software and configuration of the printer. Then select convert to Wireless Usb.

  Then, it is (your printer could not join the wireless network)

  The green bar then runs and he sees the printer model: HP Deskjet 3520 Series + No. series + name of the wireless network and MAC address.

  I printed a wireless test report and the network name (SSID) - FAIL

  Any help

  Unfortunately, after reading the manual (see below) and check the connectivity of this unit, you need to have a router. While some of our printers are supported wireless direct, as shown above, it is a lower end model and does not support this feature.

  Connectivity: Page 33 - http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03355292.pdf

  Art-S, the software is available for Win8 on our Web site. The software is made available for public download as soon as it is available, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  Hello

  I'm looking for gurus who would help me on my printing problems.

  I had installed the drivers and run the HP Print & Scan Doctor 4 and it saids that my printer is perfectly fine.

  However, I am not able to print the page to test, or any other document.

  I hope someone could give me some advice on my current problem.

  Thank you

  Hi @Illusion_,

  I'd be happy to help you! I understand your description that you can not print test pages or documents but that the print and Scan doctor said that everything is fine.

  Although I don't know what the cause of printers to failure, I suspect that if restart us the spooler, remove the driver and re - add the printer that we may be able to correct the problem. Follow the instructions below to perform these tasks.

  Restart the print spooler

  Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the Run dialog box

  • Type services.msc and press enter
  • Locate the print spooler and double-click it to open the spooler properties
  • Make sure you that Startup type is set to automatic, if not please click the menu down and select automatic
  • Under Service status, please stop the server, wait a moment, and then click Start

  Remove the printer from the server to the printer properties

  1. open the folder "devices and printers".

  2. choose "print server properties.

  • Win XP - with no printer selected, click 'File' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows Vista - with no printer selected, press 'Alt' and then click 'file' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows 7/8 and 8.1 - Select any printer in the "Devices and printers" folder and click on "Print server properties" above.

  3. click on the "Drivers" tab at the top of the window "properties of the print server.

  4. choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click 'remove '.

  5. choose "Remove driver only.

  6. the next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click 'Yes' to say are you sure you want to do.

  If you get an error "in use", restart the computer and the printer, and then follow the steps again.

  Re-add a printer

  Open start > all programs > HP folder > folder printer > HP Setup and the software if you do not see the installer and the software, but you see the printer icon, double-click the printer icon to start the installation and the software.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem by clicking on accept as a Solution. If the problem persists, please post back and include all the information you can like error message on the printer or the computer.
