• DeskJet 2544: I have a macbook pro and I can't get my 2544 HP desk jet printer to print in color

  I have a macbook pro and I can't get my 2544 HP desk jet printer to print in color. I have os 10.9.5. My printer will copy in color but not print

  Hello

  Welcome to the forums!

  I read your post about how you seem to not be able to print in color on your Mac running the Mavericks, to your Deskjet 2544. I think that the base driver, or the driver AirPrint may be selected that could be the reason for having the option to print in black ink only.

  Here are the steps I would suggest for you:

  1. Reset the printing system
  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart the Mac.
  4. Download and install the full functionality driver: 2540 Deskjet HP all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers

  You should now have the option to print in color.

  Good luck

• HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

  After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

  I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

  Thanks for any help you can provide

  Hi there @lesart55.

  Welcome to the HP community!

  I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

  I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

  Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

  Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

  Press the power button to turn the product on.
  With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  Wait at least 15 seconds.
  Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
  If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

  If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

  An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

  I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

• 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

• My Mac Pro and HP Deskjet 3070 PowerBook does not connect via a wireless network from dorm

  Both my laptop and printer (an all-in-one) are connected to the same wireless network dorm, but they do not connect on it.  They connect only wire using a USB cable.

  I have for the MacBook Pro and the Deskjet printer IP addresses but no way to use to establish a connection.  I don't have access to the network router.  When I test the connectivity, the software tells me, "too many networks."  He can't make a choice!

  Interestingly, I have my MacBook Air along this journey, too, and the two MacBook have no problem of communication on the same network of dorm.

  Is it possible to plug these devices such as computers connect or should I remain attached to the USB cable to use my new printer?  I guess you know how I feel about this.  Thanks for your advice.

  You are right.  There is no way to bypass security protected by password and thus to connect a Mac to a Deskjet 3070 via a secure network without access to a router, and a password.  However, even without access to a network or a router, there is a workaround solution.  In my case, where the technical ability to correctly configure the router and the printer is beyond the understanding of the management of the dormitory, qualified through the difference to happen anytime soon, it is the answer I need.

  The solution is to build your own Mac + network printer and make it private, protect it against unwanted entry.  This offer you little mobility in the area of the printer, which is much better than nothing.  A sofa can be more conducive to creative thinking as an Office Chair.  The unconventional twist that Johnny introduced the user, the printer that generates the sender-recipient, not the Mac network.  Very smart.

  I refer you to the thread,

  "Deskjet 3070 cannot connect to the ad - hoc network (Mac)"

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-networking-and-wireless/DeskJet-3070A-cant-connect-to-ad-hoc-network/m-p/1446819#M38598

  Then the only question is to know how to connect your Mac on the Deskjet 3070 printer via the generic (as he calls it, "ad hoc") network created by the Deskjet printer.  The Mac has abundant features for this purpose.

  Thanks for the categorical assertion, however.  No sense to break down the walls looking for a nonexistent hidden tunnel...!

  I just installed a new network at my place. I'm trying to connect my printer to this new network wirelessly via WIFI.

  Hi @JACE1,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your HP Deskjet 2540 guard wrong wireless network connection. I'm happy to look into this problem of connectivity for you!

  On the wireless test report, must be an IP address from the printer. Try putting the IP address in a web browser, such as: Safari or Firefox, etc. You should see a built-in Web server. Find the network tab and then select it. Then, look for the wireless configuration wizard option. (This should be able to search for the network wireless appropriate for you).

  See page 55 of the User Guidefor more details your printer.

  Hope this solves your problem and have a nice day!

• All-in-one Deskjet 2540: Brand New Deskjet 2540 - "cartridge is Incompatible - black ink cartridge.

  I just got a new HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one yesterday, ordered from amazon.de, went through the installation of software on my 2015 Macbook Pro running OSX Yosemite, deleted the band contained in 301 ink cartridges provided, placed them in the printer (tricolor on the left, in black on the right) without touching the electrical contacts or the ink nozzles and tried and align the ink cartridges.

  I met an error message:

  'Incompatible ink cartridge.

  Black [K]

  The cartridge listed above is not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured.

  Please see using printer. "

  Strange, but no matter, the bad seats maybe. I opened the drawer, removed black and reinstalled. Same error message. Well, I ordered an extra authentic HP 301 XL knowing I would run on Finally, maybe my ink cartridge provided was bad. I removed the 301 XL tape and installed. This time, no message error, but as soon as I went to print an alignment page, I received the same error. I went back between cartridges and sometimes I get the printer to accept it, but any attempt to use the printer caused an error message.

  So I went on this forum, found a few tips on how to solve the problem. I tried the resets seats and the relocation and hard. Same error message. I went to clean the contacts, using a cotton swab, filter coffee and bottled water Jig only contacts of eletrical on two ink cartridges (normal and XL) and contacts of printers. I let them dry for 10 minutes and reinstall. Same error message, no progress.

  I'm at a loss for what to do that this is a new printer and I say to myself that I would not have this much trouble. If I could get advice on what to do and more: seats/resettlement, cleaning the contacts, hard reset, it would be appreciated.

  HI bchowseph,

  I found some information about the printer product Specifications.  It does not list the cartridge 301 for Western Europe.  The 61 is for North America.  I think I made the assumption that you were in the United States (my bad!)

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-DeskJet-2540-all-in-one-printer-series/5295960/model/5295961/document/c03811750/

  I greatly apologize for the confusion!

  Yet, the printer should accept the cartridges you had - so I think I can get a replacement printer is the right course of action.

  The ink cartridges should be OK for a few days in an airtight container.  You may need to run a routine cleaning cartridge if you see necessary ink missing once you have installed.

  If you need to return the standard procedure is to call HP customer care.

  I hope that everything works with the replacement printer.  I also hope it is resolved quickly!

  Professor!

  and anyone who can run in this situation...

  If you run Yosemite 10 and you find yourself unable to access directly on wireless Deskjet 2540 because you do not have the password

  AND

  You can not access the EWS page by the directions on the map generated when you hold down the button wireless live 3 seconds...

  Try this

  Make sure that the direct wireless (on the printer) option is turned on

  Go to your control panel (icon usually appears on your dock, it looks like a gear)

  Clikc on double

  Double-click Printers & Scanners

  Select the 2450 Deskjet icon that has the green light next to it. (if you have more than one icon - go in your wifi settings and select HP-PRINT--Deskjet 2540 series)

  OR

  Click on the printer that the printer has been selected.

  Click settings

  Click on see the printers Web page - this will take you to the EWS

  Your browser opens a page that will display the SAP - there is a saying, that you will be redirected to a secure page and your browser may display a message on the connection, or the security certificate is invalid. If, in order to follow the instuctions to accept the certificate. Click OK (and double check DON'T SHOW THIS OPTION if you want to)

  The EWS page opens in the NETWORK of the top menu tab

  Select Wirless live in the left menu (it will take a few seconds to process)

  You should now see the situation of Direct Wirless, Pasword and HP wirless live direct name

  To change any of these settings click on "change settings" at the botom of the page.

  After you save the new setting go to your wi - Fi (via the icon in the main menu bar (at the top of the page right quaderant of your screen or through 'Network' in your control panel))

  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
