• 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

  Hi Alain,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see you are having a problem printing PDF documents from the internet.
  I'll be happy to help you.

  I have provided a document through the steps to see if it will solve this problem.

  How to print Acrobat .pdf files? Some PDF files cause blank pages being printed.

  If you're still having problems, then I would run the updates from Adobe.

  Updates.

  If the problem persists, let me know.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

• HP Deskjet 3520: My HP Deskjet 3520 won't print black after replacing the cartridge

  I just replaced all my ink cartridges in my HP DESKJET 3520 printer (it's wireless).  It prints fine colour, but not black.  I tried to clean the print head, align the cartridges, check the intake on the cartridges.  I have also just opened another black cartridge, thinking maybe my new was defective.  So now, I've just lost a cartridge.

  so frustrated! My printer is more than a year now.  So not guaranteed.  When I click on the printer ink levels, he is grateful I have full cartridges - but is not printing in black at all.

  FYI, never heard of anyone in case HP. himself seems to have resolved the day after. Now my black ink cartridge works.

  After a year of no problems printing, my 3510 abruptly stopped Deskjet, print black without any warning.  Put in the new HP ink cartridge.  A ran pages realignment many times.  Do you have a hard reboot.  Ran the clean printheads several times.  Still will not print in black a Word document or a copy.  A lot of noise as the print head moves back, but the page comes out completely empty.  Color printing and copy works fine.  Help!

  I see that you have already begun to solve the problem, but despite your best efforts, the printer will not print black ink again. Please complete all of the steps described in the following document, even if you already have some of them. The print head sometimes requires several cleanings to solve such a problem; The streaks of ink, fixing faded prints and other common print quality problems.

  If the problem persists, I recommend calling HP and let know, the issue and the steps you have already performed. It may be able to let them know that you completed all the steps in the HP document #c03376352.

• Fill the cartridges of ink on deskjet 9800. Red light flashing, won't print. Always worked before.

  Your Question: I haven't found new, original HP cartridges for my deskjet 9800 in any store. I so did my ink on deskjet 9800 as I did with success several times in the past. Two red lights keep flashing. It won't print. [Someone suggested that I need a new print head?] What should do? thanx

  The coding strip only should be cleaned if there is a problem - it is very fragile and can be damaged, making the printer inoperable.  There is a post here that describes how do to clean the MICR band, but respect the warnings and don't do it unless necessary.  There is also a post here that shows how to solve one of the problems mishandling can cause.  Do not clean the Strip unless necessary.

  The coding is the band one located just behind the stem of transport semi-claire. It aims to help the print cartridge faithfully keep track of its position as it moves along the stem of transport. Sometimes dust, ink or oil can accumulate on this strip and cause the following problems:

  • Prints "stairs" to the bottom of the left margin of the self-test page.
  • The margins left or right of the self-test are not properly placed.
  • Ink cartridges carriage slams on the left side of the printer.
  • Automatic test double-print or obscured shows the letters.
  • Defects to flow the length of a printed page (portrait orientation), or on the whole page (landscape orientation).
  • Printing stops and the lights of the Control Panel on the printer indicate an error.
  • Gaps appear in the printed text or images.
  • Slow printing

  CAUTION:

  Do not clean the strip of coding for the following symptoms: media pick questions, paper jam tilt, ink cartridge, missing points or rejection white stripes with printing and smeared or streaked black ink.

   

• 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.

• 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

  Lebo

  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, 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.

  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.

  Thank you!

• 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.

• 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
