But when I print the test page, which printed fine.

  Hey @bess-stanton1,.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see that you have some problems with your machine printing Mac OSX 10.11 for the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540. I can help you with that.

  To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
  2. Turn the printer off.
  3. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
  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.
  8. Click on reset printing system.
  9. Click the 'more' in the lower left corner.
  10. Select your printer from the list.
  11. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
  12. Click on Add.

• 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

  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.

• DeskJet 2540 does not connect when the WiFi is enabled

  When online the printer will print not wireless, when the line of the printer print wireless help... aaaaahhhhhh third one is now...

  Hi paulthechef1,

  Using a connection myfi could absolutely cause these issues.  MyFi isn't a supported type of connection, and its functionality with printers is not a guaranteed connection.  I recommend you to connect to a router or a USB cable.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

• DeskJet 2540 will not print envelope

  I cannot print envelopes to this printer

  In Word, click on tools, select letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels, box of the envelope will be opened in the envelope tab, enter your address, click Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the auto supply, it can be set to manual. Also check the power method to make sure that it is on the right position.

  

  I hope that this helps, but if you need help, let me know which version of Word you have. Thank you.

  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.

• All-in-one Deskjet 2540 print not web pages

  I just installed this printer in wireless mode. It prints well applications like excel, word, acrobat, etc, but will not print pages from google, such as google maps and others.

  Hi Len46,

  I would recommend a print with a different internet browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, to see if there is any difference in printing output.

  Thank you

• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

  Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

  My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

  Hey @Sue1990,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

  To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

  Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

  Have a wonderful evening!

• HP Deskjet 2540 not print color

  Hi all! I bought a printer HP Deskjet 2540. I installed using the diskette provided to me and does not print color. I use a Mac version 10.9.4 and I think I need to download a driver updated online, but if not, what can I do to get it printing color? Thank you!

  Hi @patrick_doll

  You are able to copy in color? If so, you're probably right about the question has something to do with the software or driver.

  If you are unable to copy in color, please use the following document to solve the problem; Printer cannot print black ink or color ink, or prints blank Pages

  If, however, you can copy in color please complete the following steps;

  Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

• DeskJet 2540 - letter size copies do not print low half inch

  Setup: Deskjet 2540, Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), wireless connection

  Problem: with a letter size (8 1/2 x 11) original, pressing a button on the copy translates copies that Miss the bottom 1/2 inch of the original.

  If I scan the original even, save as a PDF file, then open it in Adobe Reader, then file/print prints the whole page only if I select 'Fit' or "Shrink oversized pages" (resulting in a reduced size copy) - otherwise the printed page will be still absent of the bottom 1/2 inch of the original.  Is not an acceptable workaround, because I need format copies of the original set of format letter with all the content of its original size. Isn't this possible?

  The specification for the Deskjet 2540 margins are 0.57 "for Windows systems and 0.47" for Mac or Linux, see here for more information.
