Hi @BUTTERZCJ411 ,

By your post, I see that you need to reset the printer. I want to help you.

The only information I could find was to restore the network. This information was given by the manual on page 6.

Series of all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540.

Press the wireless button and the Cancel button in the control panel of the printer at the same time and then hold for
5 seconds.

The printer also has live wireless, I think that you can turn on and off button on the printer screen.

Have a great day!
Thank you.

    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))

    Choose the HP Print... network, and then type your password (if you selected this option)

  • 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.

  • DeskJet Deskjet 2540:2540 wireless

    I have set up with the hp drivers a deskjet 2540.

    I have a home wifi network, and I used the usb cable to configure the printer and connect to the wireless network.

    What I noticed, and I want to fix is that the printer generates another wireless with sid 'HP-Print-FE-Deskjet 2540 series.

    Because the printer is connected to my wireless with its own sid, and I can get to the interface web or ping, I don't want the printer to generate a point of access by itself.

    How to achieve this?

    All you have to do is to turn off wireless directly into the printer. This will stop the SSID printers you're psychic. Now, you connect to your routers SSID with password.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: The printer is offline

    Hello world!

    I have a printer HP Deskjet 2540, which works fine until I bought a new modem WLAN. The old modem Netgear 4 G LTE WLAN S and a new Huawei 4 G WLAN E5377. My computer and tablet work well with this new device, but the printer is not. I tried to put the modem, printer and computer off and restart them, but it did not help me. I removed the Windows Firewall, it did not help. I tried all sorts of troubleshooting and to take off a printer from the list of printers and install it again. I downloaded HP scan and print doctor without any help. I printed the list of WLANs testresults. He told me that the SSID is always the old name of modem. What I need to change this name to be again? How to do?

    Please, help me to solve this problem.

    Thanks for your help.

    Kind regards

    Anja

    Hello fellifel,

    You will need the new modems to the printer, such as the SSID and the new password information. You can either follow the procedure described in this document, to:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03820126

    Or you can also change your SSID and password to what it was with the old modem, and printer should just reconnect. If you do it this way, you will need to change your computer and the Tablet back as well.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: My printer cannot connect to the wireless network (SSID is not found)

    Hello

    I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer that is configured to print using the USB cable, and I have no problem printing through it. I just bought a router (D-link DWR116) and I'm trying to set up the connection to the router wireless to my printer. When I use the printer setup & software and select the option "convert a connected USB printer wireless", I can choose to enter into the setting of the printer access the router automatically or manually. These two will come with the same problem where the program is my name SSID of the router successfully but then failed to connect to what the SSID is not found.

    It comes on it comes up with the error message:

    Question: You have manually entered the name of the network (SSID) cannot be found.
    Solution: Check that your wireless router is powered. When to manually enter the name of your network (SSID), make sure you enter exactly including upper and lower case and spaces.
    ============================================================================================

    Which is meaningless because it came with the SSID earlier and I chose what options the wireless network available. I tried to manually enter the SSID, but after entering the password for the router, the same error message appears.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    In fact, I solved the problem. Something about the wifi light on the printer. It can not be flashing, I don't know what the blue light flashes on the wofo of the printer, but I don't think that it means that the wifi is on.

  • The printer HP Deskjet 2540

    I connected the printer Deskjet 2540 to my computer and searched through WiFi on my ipad and iphone, found the printer and inserted the password, everything all right and I can print from all three.  However, to do this I need to disconnect my main home WiFi connection... .Hence printing I do not have access to Internet.  Is it really how works prininting Air?  I thought that the answer lies in the EWS on my Tablet and phone access, but the Ip address http://192.168.223.1 appears as unknown.  Any help and advice would be appreciated.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 won't print pdf file

    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

    Hi Alain,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you are having a problem printing PDF documents from the internet.
    I'll be happy to help you.

    I have provided a document through the steps to see if it will solve this problem.

In the queue, it says "ready to print" and the two buttons wireless to the printer are turned on. It also does not print when I connect it to the USB port. But when I print the test page, which printed fine.

    Hey @bess-stanton1,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you have some problems with your machine printing Mac OSX 10.11 for the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
    2. Turn the printer off.
    3. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
    4. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
    5. Close any programs you have open.
    6. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    7. Hold down the CTRL key and click on an icon of your printer on the left.
    8. Click on reset printing system.
    9. Click the 'more' in the lower left corner.
    10. Select your printer from the list.
    11. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
    12. Click on Add.

  • DeskJet 2540 all-in-one

    When you use "Scan to email" a window pops up "unable to find mail account" Although there are accounts of e-mail on my pc. the printer is connected to my pc with the usb cable and installed for use with cable and wireless use.

    Hello spoi.

    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with the Deskjet 2540.

    Unfortunately, "Scan to Email" is not available with this printer. Now, there is a solution. You can scan a document to your computer, open your e-mail account and attach this document.

    What kind of e-mail do you use? If you check this, I provide steps to show you how to scan a document, then attach a file to your email.

    This printer must really have a connection. You want to connect to this printer via a USB cable or wireless?

    Impatience on your part.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: Scanner Communication cannot be established.

    My scanner does not work. I am connected by USB. I've tried everything suggested by HP print and Scan doctor. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software for the device, but it still does not work. I'm very angry because it worked fine for 3 months. I went out of town for the winter holidays and took my computer with me. I left my HP Deskjet 2540 to my apartment. Now that I'm back it no longer works.

    Here are the mistakes doctor analysis gives me:

    Driver error:

    The scanning driver is unable to communicate with the product.

    HP Scanner Twain error:

    I followed the steps, he told me but even after restarting the computer of the Scan Doctor is unable to solve the problem and he just told me to come here and ask online. I really need this scanner set as soon as possible for my work in the classroom. It is very frustrating that my HP Deskjet 2540 broke shortly after buying it.

    Too bad. Solved the problem by changing a connection of 3 USB-a USB 2 connection. For some reason any Scanner HP Deskjet 2540 cannot use via a USB 3.0 connection.

    I don't know why it is exactly, but that's what I did and now it works.
