• DeskJet 2540, folder of installation - comments

  Today, 11/06/2014, I bought a printer All-in-One-Series of 2540. This is a printer connected to my computer, my first attempt at being a "newbie in the world of COMPUTING. Before you do anything physically with equipment, I read the documentation in the package. After reading the brochure of installation and the booklet of the short introduction, I found that it there is no mention of any connection wiring between computer and printer except to connect the power cord to the printer and finally 'market '!  My question is "what is the interconnection between the computer and the printer? Should not be appearing somewhere in the installation process? Before doing anything else could you please complete the process for me. Thank you very much, DONU

  You are absolutely right @DONU there is no mention of the connection between the printer and the computer.

    

  As you can see, step 6 invites you to install the software. The software prompts you to connect your printer, or configure the wireless feature.  It is important not to connect the USB cable until the software tells you, that is probably why there is no mention of it in the power supply.

  I hope that answers your request. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please do ' t hesitate to post back. I happy to do everything I can to help.

• 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!

• HP deskjet 2540: request product code

  How can I get my application code?

  Hey @janbols,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I understand that you're looking for your all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2540 claimcode.  I want to help you with this.

  Connected HP is an excellent resource for platelets, ePrint and other features, but it is only compatible with webservices/ePrint enabled printers.  Your printer does not have a feature of Web services...  There is therefore no way you can get (or create) a claimcode to connect your HP printer connected.

  Despite this, you can always use it in combination with iOS, Android and Windows devices most via a direct wireless connection or a wireless connection mutually shared on the same network (SSID).  So, if you need assistance in obtaining your printer installation for use with a smartphone or Tablet (basically anything but your current PC) or you need help to connect to your network without wire in general, please reply to this message with the details on what you're looking to achieve and I'll be happy to help you.

  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution. Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

• DeskJet 2540: Deskjet 2540 print and Scan works on Windows 10

  I have installled, uninstalled and reinstalled the software half a dozen times now, on my Windows 10 machine, but I still don't have any interface to scan documents.

  The installation process has shown a success install and I was able to recognize and connect to the printer. In my Start menu, the new option 'Scan & Print' is there, as shown in the screenshot (click on the screenshot to the size of the full image).

  But when I click on the option, instead of the usual analysis and the dialog box print, I am faced with a new printer 'Connect' and 'Add more software' options (see screenshot below).

  How can I get to the good old scan dialog box?

  Among others, I used to have an option here to scan directly to PDF. This option is not accessible from anywhere on the machine and is something I desperately need to back.

  Has it been removed from version 10 of Windows? I ran a search for "Scan" computer, but the only options I get are native Windows analysis (which works very well for the individual photos) and this dialog box. Nothing that would allow me to scan a document of several pages in PDF format

• HP 2540: Cannot sweep on 2540. Analyze the icon option on HP s/w not stay appear

  2540 and HP s/w on my laptop installed with success at home on WiFi.  Then I moved everything to my RV... which means put PCs and the 2540 on a different network.   Had to uninstall HP desktop s/w (on Toshiba Win8.1 64) and DELETE the printer and then reinstalling s/w to achieve the ability to print on my WiFi based on RV (the process included via a USB port).  I can print now, but cannot scan.  Even ran doctor printing/scanning HP with no satisfaction.

  Once again: I can't scan.  The s/w HP does not offer this as an option as it did in my original installation of 'home '.  When I click on HP desktop icon now, I am prompted with "do you want to allow the following program to make changes?  I proceeded to YES several times.  No help.

  In addition:

  Under control panel / printers & devices, there are two HP icons: series of readings (1) HP Deskjet 2540, others (2) reads the same but includes the word "driver"... and 'pilot' is the default icon and is functional for printing.  The icon (1) cannot be made by default, and when you click on to, the new screen reads "no task is available on this page.   FWIW, I can't scan during an attempt of web page IE directly to the IP address of the HP.

  At home, I had a HP icon on the desktop , when you click on it, took me to a HP screen which included "Scan."   The current /same icon compels me now to 'Do you want to install more s/w'... and if 'yes', I have 2 viable options, but him 'add more software' is printing in black (can't click on it).  To the right of this 3rd option, if I choose 'Visit HP.com', I am overwhelmed at what HP wants me to then (spending money, is clearly the purpose of the screen).  No help there.

  Several times, I tried to remove all the HP s/w and printers and everything I could imagine... and then re-located to the s/w time from the CD and via the web.

  Signed: Really frustrated.

  I'm now printing/scanning OK... but not with the s/w which is here on data CD that accompanies the 2540... a package of s/w that I used quite happy.

  After HOURS of frustration trying to get the data loading on my laptop CD (never did it), I found the executable "HpSupportSolutionsFramework 12.0.26" on the HP site which (when run), load a new piece of s/w on my laptop Win-8.  No user manual.  No help screens.  No reasoning why the old s/w has been is no longer supported.  Without explaining why the s/w which charge a year ago would not now charge.  Ideally, the HP web site should have an assignment that my 'old' s/w has now been replaced by new ones.   Lack of communication on the part of HP.

• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: HP Deskjet 2540 Scan works only in Windows 10

  Have upgraded to Windows 10 (not sure if 32 or 64 bit).  Now cannot scan.  Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, loading HP Print and Scan and HP Support Assistant doctor and does everything that is asked.  However, the software that load every time is just the basic application that allows printing - it shows not all the scanning application.  Tried to use the scan software very basic own Windows, which communicates with the scanner and scans indeed, but not in PDF format (VERY base).  Help, please.

  Welcome to the HP community @Hippy79,

  I understand the printing software will not fully installed for your Deskjet 2540 on your system Windows 10, causing problems of scanning software and I would try to help! Here are my suggestions for you to try. When you are finished, please let me know the results and problems or errors that you may encounter!

  First step: clean boot, restart the PC and try the install again.

  1. start by typing "msconfig" in the search box of Cortana, and then click MSConfig (run command)
  On your keyboard press Windows + R key at same time and type Msconfig in the run window, and then click OK or press ENTER.

  2. now, choose Selective startup

  3. Remove the check of the Load Startup items

  4. click on the Services tab

  5. check "hide all Microsoft Services" and then click on disable all

  6. click apply , then OK

  7 restart the PC and temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus programs

  8 run the Installation Wizard for Windows HP printer to install the printer

  9 turn on the firewall and start services

  Second step: you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer Service:

  1. hold down the Windows key + R to fill the box "Run" and type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
  2. at the command prompt, type msiexec /Unregister , and then press ENTER.
  3. at the command prompt, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.
  4. at the command prompt, type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt.
  5. run the Wizard for Windows HP printer installation

  Step 3: run System File Checker Scan (up to 3 times) to repair the corrupted system files:
  1. go to start
  2. type CMD
  3 right-click and run as administrator
  4. to check and repair the OS type sfc/scannow (note the space between sfc and ' / ')

  You may need to run this upward to 3 times to solve all the problems

  When finished, it will say one of three things
  Windows did not find any breach of integrity (a good thing)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files and repair the (good)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

  Try to reinstall the printer.

  Step 4: activate the built-in Windows administrator account

  source

  1. first of all, you'll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator" (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the search box).

  Note that it works the same in all versions of Windows. It just search for cmd and then do a right-click on the icon of the command prompt in the start menu or the boot screen.

  

  2. If you are in Windows 8.x or 10 you can click on the Start button and choose to open a command prompt in this way.

  3. now type the following command:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  

  4. you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you will now see the administrator as a choice account.

   

  You will notice that there is no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled, you must change the password.

  Try to reinstall the printer.

  If we had a go at the download for use on the laptop - there were a few problems, but in the end, we managed to get this working

  It's questions and that's how we overcame the

  1 no internet connection on the machine, downloaded the link on a stick of a connected machine, copied on the laptop and I tried to extract and run. Excerpts, but would not go beyond Set - up. Tried several times, even issue and tried to connect to microsoft.net framework, saying that they had the 3.5 version to continue. (only version 2 on XP laptop)

  2 used in m/c to load the .net framework 3.5 on memory stick, transfer it to laptop and run, but still kept trying to connect to the internet to run it out of there.

  3 so focused in trying to establish an internet connection and wifi on the laptop. After a lot of pain reached this, went to the site of microsoft and .net framework 3.5 directly downloaded on laptop with the statement to execute. Has taken a while but it downloaded and installed. Computer restarted-watch installation qualified.

  4 then tried the same thing with the HP link above - IE a download direct and executed. He ran, followed the instructions and connected the printer when requested. All steps except activation - wouldn't connect on the HP Web site link.

  5 creates a document word on the laptop, tried to print it - that prompted a test page and the mod by placing the page printed on the scanner. At the end of the word doc printed. Clicked on the button to say activation to change the time.

  Printer 6 now seems to work fine, just like Copier and scanner - we keep our fingers crossed that it continues!
