HP DJ 2540 was the fine print - now, it will not print at all.

HP Deskjet 2540 - model #: SNPRB-1204-02 Ser #: [personal information]

Can you help me?

I spent three very frustrating days with my printer.  Printer worked wireless fine and usb connected until about three days ago.  I've had it for a year and it worked very well for all this time.

Now, it does print from my laptop. My wife's cell phone can print without problem wireless in another room.

Here's what I've done so far.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software from the CD drive four different times. It installs and seems to connect properly.  Printer appears in "devices and printers".  It is not a test print.

I installed all the updates on Windows 7 Home Premium X 64.

I ran doctor Scan six times.

I run scans on network for problems.

I wipe my laptop and do a fresh install (I do each year).  But I did only 3 months.  Really don't want to do this again.

I have nothing seems to fix.

The printer connects to the laptop, it can be connected to a network printer. But no printing.

It is simple ceased three days ago.  I don't remember the changes or warnings.

I'm a little tech savvy and is not afraid to test - but I've exhausted what I can do.

It seems to be a problem with permissions on my laptop but I can't in this case.

I am a pastor and I use my printer almost every day.  I'm desperate for a solution!

Found the answer in the forum.

To use a different print driver for printers HP with Windows 7:
1. click on the start menu.
2 click devices and printers.
3. right click on your printer.
4. Select printer properties.
5. click on the Advanced tab.
6. click on new driver.
7. click on next.
8. Select HP in the first list.
9. Select Deskjet 450 in the second.  If the 450 driver is not there, use the Deskjet 990c printer driver.
10. click Next.
11. click on finish.
12. click on apply.
13. click OK to close the window.

Work on the two connected usb or wireless printing.  You don't have to change the 450 driver.  I do not know why the pilot of 2540 worked for a year and all of a sudden 3 days ago stop working-, but he did.
