HP DESKJET 5940 PHOTO PRİNTER

Hi, my OS is XP Home SP3 and my printer is USB connected. For two days each time I print something the printer still prints an extra page straight afterwards, while making tortured noises (grinding) and retreating and forth.İhave to push the power button, so that it can expel the paper. On the extra page it prints still, what looks like a test page printed. Does anyone know what I could do to stop this happenining?

Very much appreciated. Thank you.

The page you describe is an alignment page.  The printer will print it after each print job until the alignment ends successfully.  Refer to the alignment of cartridges in you rmanual.  DJ 5940 has automatic alignment, but it will take the black and color cartridge cyan part to work properly.  It is also necessary to leave the page and its full internal analysis, if the page is interrupted before finishing it will fix itself for another attempt later.

  • HP deskjet 5940 driver for windows 7

    Hello

    I'm looking for the driver of a printer HP deskjet 5940 and read on the next page that the driver is not available for download:

    He said: "the drivers for your HP product are already included in the new Windows 7 operating system! You don't need to download the drivers to use the product . Simply connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, and Windows Update automatically installs the driver for your product. " http://support.HP.com/US-en/document/c01874792

    My problem is that this computer has no internet connection (Yes, it still exists in 2013). There is no internet connection available in this building (old), so it won't work Windows Update needs to connect to the internet, I guess.

    Anyone know where to find the driver for this or another way to install a driver on this printer without an internet connection?

    Thanks for your advice

    Hi lebo,.

    The drivers for your printer requires an internet connection to get the drivers.

    You can either temporarily connect the computer to an internet connection in another place to get the drivers.

    Otherwise, use another computer to get the drivers, and then burn those to a USB port and use them on your PC.

    Pilots can be obtained at the Microsoft Web site:

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=DeskJet%205900

    Be sure to get the correct drivers for your operating system and architecture and manually extract the drivers, you can find the steps to use the drivers in the link below:

  • HP deskjet 5940 won\ ' t print

    I have a HP Deskjet 5940 printer that I can't seem to print.  Reconnected all cables, checked ink (new cartridges) and deleted and he readded as my default.  Seems to load until I try to print.  Says my document test page failed to print that I can see, but it shows waiting.   And I would add that my load disc is cracked so will not work.   Time to buy a new printer?  This runs seven 7 years.  And if I have to buy a new one, I need suggestions on something simple and stupid.  You are looking for something which is economical on ink cartridges and printing may be just in black and white.  I don't post much - e-mail and some Internet.    I am also computer in question.  USAFRetired

    Even if you tried, I wasn't able to get my printer working with instructions.  Screen had a several reviews that I didn't understand:

    -c:\Document and Settings/HP_Admionistrator

    -The copy functions cannot be used.

    -Installation not successful

    -Error report is completed.  This info is needed to diagnose installation failure.

    -New hard disk wizard has found, but it tells me to insert the installation CD.  Then he told me that I can not install.  Software not found.

    Plan B was to take my printer and the turn of a new computer repair shop just up the road from me.  Took 20 minutes, and they got my printer working.  Cost me only $21,50 vs buying a new printer.  And I am able to use the

    ink cartridges that I had bought in May.  What a deal.  They now have my business.

    Thanks for the help.

  • HP Deskjet 5940, properties, "the impression sample" doesn't work well. "

    When I want to see an example of printing before it starts the actual print - I defined this... so, I see a former printing sample. When I ignore this and do actual printing is printing I really wanted. When I repeat this action, then I get the real impression sample. Only after restarting the computer the problem is there again: I see the same old printing sample, only the first time. If this sample printed old sticks in the memory and I still see and only when I order the first printing after starting the computer. Actual printing will be anyway.

    Finally I found the 990c deskjet, but also it did not solve my problem, because it is not an overview either work. I still have to fix something: I use OS Windows7 (8 instead, what I said in my answer 20121219) but I think that has no influence on our communication. Anyway thanks a lot for your help and I accept this little inconvenience in my software printer deskjet 5940.

  • HP Deskjet 5940: deskjet 5900 series driver windows

    Hello

    How can I install my old printer HP Deskjet 5940, as my new laptop has Windows 10? Drivers do not seem to work with WIndows 10. Thank you!

    Hi @Mirjami,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request for installation.

    I understand that you have a HP Deskjet 5940 printer you want to install on a computer Windows 10. I would like to help.

    This printer has more no driver available for download on the Web site because it was added to the list of retirement products. When HP adds a product to this list all the online resources are drawn from the site.

    The printer is listed as being compatible with Windows 10. You will be able to install the software by using the built-in Windows print driver. So here's a support document which covers how this can be done - in installation and using the built-in Windows print driver.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Impression on Deskjet 5940 Yosemite OSX

    Hello

    Trying to install a HP Deskjet 5940 on a MacBook with Yosemite. The test page prints OK but nothing happens when printing Pages, Notes, etc.

    I have not downloaded a driver yet because they seem to stop at OSX 5.

    Someone has an idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Officially, the HP Deskjet 5940 is not compatible with Yosemite, only printers listed below are compatible with the operating system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04473034

    Try 3rd party HPIJS print drivers that seems to support your printer, even if it is only considered compatible with OS X 10.8 or lower it should work on your operating system as well.

    Don't forget to install one of the 3 downloads required below:

    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/HPIJS

    Then go to Printers & Scanners and select the printer, click the use drop-down and click Select the printer software, then locate and select the driver of 5940 listed by HPIJS and check if that would work.

    Kind regards

  • Error of false paper jam in Deskjet 5940

    I use a Deskjet 5940 with Mac OS 10.7.4 on an iMac. It does not print, and when I check the printer queue box, it says "There is a paper jam." But there is no jam. I use this printer only for envelopes, and I checked carefully. Took apart. It will work with either plain paper. I get no response from the forum except for points applicable to the all-in-one and the same of Google searches. It's like this simple type of printers is not false jams. Checked the manual, of course, but he treats that how to fix real paper jams.

    Hello Hazelg,

    Sometimes, paper jams can be true or false. Sometimes a reset can solve recurring false paper jams. Try the following steps. I'm also including some information about the prevention of recurring paper jams, which may be useful. Good luck!

    First step: perform a power reset

     
  • Deskjet 5940 or Deskjet D4360 network print server

    I would like to find a cheap USB to ethernet edge server printing for my Deskjet 5940 printer so that I can share it between three PC.  Even if I can find a number of devices for sale on the Internet, it seems that they are usually only compatible with certain printers.  For example the IOGear GPSU21 (http://www.iogear.com/product/GPSU21/) seems an attractive choice, its compatibility list at

    http://www.IOGEAR.com/file/PDF/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList_201208.PDF

    lists many Deskjet printers, but not the 5940.  Other manufacturers do not yet provide compatibility information.  Can anyone recommend a similar print server that is compatible with my printer?  I also own an HP printer deskjet D4360 I could use instead, but it has the same compatibility issue.  Thanks for any help!

    The first and third items you mention are wireless, not ethernet. The second element has a parallel printer USB port no. The last three items are pluggable EIO. None of them are similar itmes for IOGear device that I mentioned. I will accept as your mention of IOGear unit solution, but if you check Amazon customers and other user forums, it seems that 50% of chance that "any network printer" cannot be obtained for work, where my original question.

  • DeskJet 5940 - incompatible ink cartridge

    All of a sudden my Deskjet 5940 says that I have a cartridge incompatible color in it.  I use a genuine HP 95 Tri Color that is rated cartridge.  It is in the printer for three months and works well.  All of a sudden it will not work and will not let me us the printer mode "black ink only".

    Using Windows XP (Yes, I know, not my choice - a work computer).

    I searched the database of RESUMES and can not find all the elements to help me here.  Any ideas?

    If you remove the color cartridge the printer should automatically switch ink backup mode.

    Regarding the color cartridge, clean the contacts of the cartridge as described in this document (under the section for "cartridge blinking") can solve the problem.

  • DeskJet 3755: Photo printer

    I recently installed a Deskjet 3755 and an icon for printing of photos called 'HP Photo Creations' was created on my desktop.  When I try to open the program I get a message saying "your system administrator has blocked this program" - I am the system administrator, so how can I access this program?

    The error is probably due to a program by security. We have seen conflicts with the CryptoPrevent, which left some junk behind when the computer updated for Windows 10.

    Hey Samuel,.

    Generally, these lines are caused by the print settings.  If you have not selected in the printer preferences option when printing correct paper type, the unit will not use the right time for the cycles of the printhead on the entire page.  If the drytime is not correct, then the movement of the print head generates lines seen in this image.

    You have the full features software installed on your computer for this printer?

    What is the operating system of the computer you're using?

    For a print quality problems that I would recommend following the steps described in the document link below which will discuss with print settings that are appropriate for the job at hand.  I would advise using parameters such as: HP Photo Plus or the correct selection of the photo, correct paper size paper for work of the image and the best print quality.

    Troubleshooting print quality problems

    Hope this helps,

  • HP deskjet 5940 status - printing tips

    While in the middle of something, not necessarily printing, an alert will come to my office saying ' hp deskjet 5900 series inscribed "offering me a 'Print Tip' which is to clean the print heads with a damp cloth etc. in order to avoid a fine mist that appear on the page - a trick that I've never needed to use incidentally.   This has happened about 3 or 4 times a day for the past 6 months and is irritating to say the least. I tried to look at all options in the preferences of print and properties to see if there is a way to activate Advanced alerts, but fails and apparently do not have the config tab, which help pages say that I need. Interestingly enough the tip never changes, always the same as that darn! am not very tech of mind for that matter

    Any ideas anyone?

    OK, I think I might have found a solution about this - after 2 years of trying! _ I am amazed that the printer works always - but until today I have not had the annoying message of the art of State printer appear and it appears usually several times.

    I found this while digging deeper on the Web site forums.

    Go-start - run, type in msconfig - Startup tab look for the files HPWUSchd2 and Hp Digital Imaging Monitor and uncheck both. If you're like me, you might find that you get an error message saying: you must be an administrator of the computer - even if you are - that case I would just ignore it because it seems to work in all cases and indeed to uncheck the boxes - I pass pain trying to find a solution to this in regedit etc but none of it worked.

    At the end of the day, the msconfig option seems to work and simply stop the program that causes 'tip' opening-messages

    Hope this works for you too
