HP Inkjet 2540 Series: Do not print documents

Hi, my first question on this forum.

I have a new HP 2540 series inkjet, I setup for wireless printing and do not print on all documents, reserved example a flight online today and wanted to print docs 4 4 pages it will only print two pages, then an error message appears top right of the screen of the laptop, unfortunately, the error message disappears and is not there long enough to read or write.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello @victormildrew and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I see that you have problems printing.  I would like to help!

If you make a copy of multi page, you have any questions?

I recommend you to remove the printer ink cartridges and perform a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Printer is offline and will not print documents

    Printer is offline and will not print documents, the rocker switch "Printer offline" option is not available and it is constantly check on 'printer offline '.

    How can I fix this so I can print the necessary documents?

    Hello destiny.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

    • Is the printer connected directly to the PC or it is on a network?
    • What is a printer wired or wireless?
    • What is the brand and model of the printer?

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Disable Antivirus

    If you have installed any third party such as antivirus or firewall security software, I would say you temporarily disable and check if it works.

    Disable the anti-virus software

     

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Method 2: Update the drivers for your printer.

    For more information, see these links:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Find and install printer drivers
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-and-install-printer-drivers


    Method 3: Restart the print spooler service.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
    a. open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type administrative tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    b. double-click on Services.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. right-click the print spooler service and then click Properties.
    d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.
    e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation,
    type the password or provide confirmation.

    If nothing works, then manually add the printer to the local port and check.

    Method 4: Manually add the printer to the local port.

    a. go to control panel and click on devices and printers.
    b. click Add a printer, and then select Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list is Local Port. Don't change that.
    c. click Next.
    A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type the name of \\computer name\printer.
    d. type your user name and the name of the printer (name \\PC\printer)
    e. click ok and exit.

  • Photosmart c309a will not print documents or test pages

    I have uninstall and reinstall Full Version software, twice and I still can not print documents or test pages. I use the Photosmart C309a. Can you help me

    Georgebob

    Last updated, at 01:10, estimated the printer works now. I installed the new print head, and as a first step, I have no positive results. Then I tried the printer alignment... that did the trick. The printer works now.

    Now, I wonder if it was the culprit with the old print head (alignment) maybe it's always good. I'll hold on, events, if necessary. Thanks for your help and mucho laurels.

  • HP Officejet J4680 series: all-in-one HP Officejet J4680 series will not print Word documents

    My HP Officejet J4680 all-in-one ink jet printer will not print in Word 2010 documents. It will print .pdf and Excel 2010 documents. I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and check it and put to date and said all is fine. Just around checking on my computer it said in the devices that the printer is ok. I printed the test from the doctor of Hp Plug and it came out ok. Seems so that Word documents are the only problem. I installed Windows 10 earlier so not totally sure that's the problem I don't remember if I used the word since installation up to now.

    I bought this printer in 2010 and have had no problems with it and I can tell you that I have printed a large NUMBER of pages.

    Any ideas how to get this printer working?

    Thank you!

  • All-in-one printer will not print documents.

    I tried to print documents from my printer on a computer with XP operating system and transplanted paper and went out in white. I put the printer on my other computer with a 8.1 operating system and get the same results. I ran the printing and scanning doctor and checked the difficulty of printing. He tells me everything retrieves and prints a test page is not due to a lack of ink, I thought that could be the cause as my ink is low. Individual items on difficulty printing do not run through one at a time, they appeared all at once, and the bar for what is printing is full until the printer starts to feed paper.

    He would make copies either, so I change the ink cartridges and now it prints. I still don't understand why it would print a test page with ink, but not anything else.

    Did you download and install the drivers for the printer, or you use the Apple drivers?

    Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer.
    Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on Printers & Scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen it should show the name of the printer. (Deskjet 2542)

    If the full name of the printer is not correctly, delete and add the printer name back from the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.

  • Do not print documents

    Hi, my problem is when documents are sent to print, the printer sees the document in the queue, but it does not print.

I hope someone can help because I do not want to invest in another printer and the problem is becoming 'do my Fruit' thank you...

    USB/PARALLEL connectors are problomatic, if it's a PC desktop purchase a parallel PCI card, well in your first post said you that you use a card.
