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

  • 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 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 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: 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.

  • 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.

  • HP CP1025nw: Double-sided printing at Yosemite OSX

    I have a CP1025nw running wireless on our network. This printer supports printing double-sided pages recharge.

    Were two-sided printing with an air of Macbook OSX Lion V 10.7.5 running successfully. Recently bought a new Macbook pro of the retina, running OSX Yosemite V 10.10.4. He immediately picked up the printer and installed a driver which works very well but no double not back print. Boxes diaglog feel like just Word, PDF, Outlook, Safari or Firefox printing, not stay have the option of double face, or if it is visible, are greyed out and cannot be selected.

    Is this a problem with the version of the driver that has been chosen automatically by the Macbook/OSX?

    Ideas for a solution?

    I can always print duplex from my old computer.

    Hi Feeben,

    When checked the specification for this printer looks like it has manual Duplex via the software where you select, and then you manually turn the paper to print the second side. This is the option that you can reference to the which is grayed out.

    How is the printer connected... USB/network.

    Given the operating system automatically selected the driver, it could be the default AirPrint driver.

    Click the link and download the driver for printer HP V3.1.

    Now go to System Preferences > printers and Scanners > right click on printer and click Reset the Printing System(Note: This will delete all the printers under the printers and scanners, Do not perform at this point if multiple printers installed)

    If Reset Printing system is ignored then forts of the printer and click on the symbol (-) to delete the printer.

    Adding the printer:

    Click the plus (+) symbol, select Add printers and Scanners

    On the Windows Add strong printer from the printer

    Down in the section USE click on move to the bottom and select the printer Name (CP1025).

    Click Add

    Now, check if the manual duplex option is enabled.

    Thank you

  • Deskjet 4480 Mac osX 10.7 driver needed

    Are there print drivers available for osX 10.7 for the Deskjet 4480 printer?  I've only been able to find the drivers for osX up to 10.6 for the 4480 printer.   I tried to install them and they do not work with 10.7, so right now, I can't print from the upgrade.

    There is no version of the driver HP with a UI for 10.7 (such as HP Print Utility), sorry.

    We will work on OS X itself:

    1. download and install the 10.7.4 Combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524

    2. open Finder and go to Applications > utilities > disk utility.  Open it.

    Select your Macintosh HD on the left, then click on "Repair disk permissions" on the bottom and let it finish.
