  Hey @deanofblackpool,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see you want to scan from an ADF on all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet 2542. This printer lacks an automatic document feeder. The tray on top of the printer is actually the paper feeder to load when printing.

  • How to load paper:

  1. lift the input tray.

  

  2. lower the output tray.

  

  3. remove the tray Extender.

  

  4. load plain white paper in the input tray with the short edge forward and the print to the top side.

  

  5. drag the width of the paper inward guide until it rests against the edge of the paper.

  How copying and scanning of your printer, you must load a single page at a time on the flat glass.

  • How to copy:

  3. load the original face to print down on the corner front right of the scanner glass.

  5. press start copy black or start copy color to begin copying.

  Note: You can increase the number of copies (up to 9) by pressing the button several times.

• HP Deskjet 2542 is not printing in black ink

  Very well. So I picked up a new all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2542 today from Walmart. At he House installed the printer on my computer compaq laptop windows 7. Print a page of alignment and scanned. Successfully. I went to print my paper for school. Only the hyperlink color was printed. Everything was empty. I printed another document that was all black. It printed 2 blank pages... I'm very disappointed because I just bought this printer less than 3 hours ago! I printed the test pages and everywhere where it is supposed to be black it is a light blue light. The gray dark fate well however. Alignment is fine, it's just a matter with black ink of he. And it came to pass also supplied with the printer that I bought. I don't want to spend more money on the new cartridges that it is supposed to be new! Help, please?

  Thank you @Fujoti. I had originally tried that before posting here and there do not seem to work for me another that tell me that I had to get it repaired for my new printer. To remedy this, I called HP Customer Service help line and I was able to get my printer to print pages in black ink.

  SOLUTION: I cleaned well the bottom of the cartridge with absorbent paper. Then re-installed in my printer. The first pages may be a bit scratched. If this continues to learn more then just a couple of pages I have to go out and clean the contact a little better then you should be all good!

  Thanks for all your help guys

• DeskJet 2542: May not print on HP Deskjet 2542 of HP 6910 p - but can all the other PCs in the House

  I have a brand new 2542 Deskjet and three computers.

  Two workstations.  Running a 8.1 and a running 7 home premium - both can print.

  The laptop can not print, but can scan.

  The laptop is running...

  Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

  On a HP 6910P

  Have used both the drivers from the website, as well as those included in the box.

  None of the questions that he is, he just will not print.

  Nothing in the case of newspapers

  Printer spooler is running

  Have already emptied all the old remaining jobs and restarting services

  Is not serious anyway because jobs clear the queue.

  l leave a comment for future users who share a similar problem with this device.

  Ultimate solution is illogical.

  After a long period of work with their printer engineer, we decided to try the driver for the HP Deskjet 2500 series and finally it started working.

  Just in case someone comes across this posted the question and needs assistance and does not want to lose several hours of their day on a single issue.

• PRI all-in-one HP Deskjet 2542: not the printer connected to the Modem

  My modem (wired LAN) password and the name was changed recently and now my printer (HP Deskjet 2542 all-in-one) does not connect to the modem.  The blue light just continuously flashes.  This is the only change that has been done to my modem and this is the first time I tried to print. It is printed on the front.  I called the cable company and they determined my modem was working fine and has suggested that to change my printer settings.  I grew up the printer instructions on my computer, but could not find something that I could change my settings to match the modem.  I think that's what the cable company told me to do.

  My printer is mod. # SNPRB - 1204 - 02.  If you need made more information let me know.  It seems that this should be a quick fix, but I'm not a computer geek.

  Hi @first100years,

  I'd love to help you connect your printer to your wireless network. The flashing blue light confirms without a doubt that, for some reason, the printer is is more set up.

  I found the following steps in this document: connect the printer after change of your wireless network.

  The HP software automatically collects the network settings by temporarily connect a USB cable from the printer to a computer that is connected to the new network. Follow these steps to reconnect the printer to the network.

• install deskjet 2542 gives error

  So I try to install the Deskjet 2542 on my 8.1 Windows, 64-bit, Intel 4 hearts 4 + GHz desktop computer. There the huge disk hard space and 16 GB of memory. First, I tried the installer from the DVD provided and it failed with the error message below.

  Then I downloaded the latest installer (DJ2540_145.exe) and received the same message.

  So I tried again, this time I deselected all optional programs according to the option - same error message.

  Finally, I downloaded the Basic Installer (DJ2540_Basicx64_145.exe) but same error.

  MBM I tried also to run the program in compatibility mode for Windows 8.0 and 7.0 with the same error.

  ERROR:

  ---------------------------
  Details...
  ---------------------------
  Setup error

  Call to DriverPackageInstall returned error 13 for package "C:\Program HP HP Deskjet 2540 series\DriverStore\Yeti\hpvyt11.inf"

  ---------------------------
  Ok
  ---------------------------

  PS. I found the file hpvy11.inf on the DVD and put it in the location mentioned in the error message and ran the installer without success. Then I performed the troubleshooting file that appeared on my desktop as instructed without success.

  I will return this for a different printer or HP has a solution for me?

  If anyone has had success install another printer on a Windows 8.1 machine, please tell me the model of the printer.

  Got a solution! No HP problem.

  OK, a little while back, my PC took trapped by a bad adware led when a free software testing.

  Bleeping Computer forum helped me get rid of this malware (needed deep cleaning) using a set of tools, they provided. Very complicated and time-consuming procedure.

  But even after complete removal, this * beep * malware had the chance to weave from my PC and he could no longer update Windows Defender and gave me the problem, try to install the HP all-in-one device. Here is the solution:

  Basically, please "Refresh" the Windows System. Restart the PC and on the login screen, select the option advanced at the bottom of the screen (Windows8/8.1). In the following screens keep options that does not start in any operating system, until you get the choice to update or recover Windows. Choose "Refresh" - you will be asked for a source (CD, DVD, or USB drive) installation media. Refreshing gets rid of all of your installed programs, but it is useful to have a nice clean system!

  If you have upgraded to Windows 8.1 online, refreshing with your Windows 8 original DVD won't work! Google how to download the iso file of Windows 8.1 (pretty complicated involving the interruption of the resettlement of 8.0, and then run Setup for 8.1, but it works). Once you have the iso 8.1, burn to dvd or USB drive-upgrade software will give you the option once the iso downloaded - but do not choose the optio reinstall Window. Now when you update, you can use this media that you created.

  Phew! You now have a clean system that installs the HP devices fortunately. Defender will also update the definition files fortunately. You will need to reinstall the programs that you want - but hey, it's a great way to clean the cludge.

  My take-away from this - avoid all downloads that are suspicious. Even big names like CNet and Sourceforge insert destructive malware in their downloads. Although with the biggest names, unchecking / careful verification at installation will prevent cr * pware in your system. Small developers can auto install malware without giving you the option not to do so. Once these villains are they put in a deep anchor in the system and the registry that prevent attempts to uninstall. This is what happened to me. Hope this helps someone.
