Print in A5 with HP2540

I recently bought this printer and want to print in A5 as my old HP printer.

It seems impossible to properly configure things to print in A5. Is it a probem with this printer?

How can I select the paper to A5?

Thank you

Simon

Hello

Add another printer driver, then check any change.

Follow the steps below to add an alternative driver:

  1. From the control panel go into printers, right click on the existing Deskjet 2540 icon and select Properties.
  2. Open the ports tab, and take note of the track selected for your printer, then click on the X to close this window.
  3. Click the Add Printer button in the top menu, and then select Add a local printer.
  4. The use of an existing port drop-down select the same port used by your printer (because it is on in step 2), and then click Next.
  5. Select HP in the manufacturer list, and then select the HP Deskjet 5550 printers list and click Next.
  6. Follow the next screen by clicking on next, click Finish to complete the add a Printer Wizard.
  7. Now try printing using the added 5550 Deskjet, by selecting the A5 paper size.

Kind regards

Shlomi

  • HP Vivera Photosmart 3210: EXPIRY of the INK. can buy black ink only and print n & B with the range of printers hp Vivera 3210?

    all ink has expired. can I buy only black ink and print n & b with hp Vivera printer, photosmart 3210 all-in-one

    and black and white printing only with color expired ink in there?

    Hi @peanut7949,

    I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.

    Here's what I could find on the subject:

    Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report.

  • HP Envy 4504: Envy 4504 photo prints too red with print quality = better

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    On my HP Envy 4504 photos are printed OK print normal quality, but when the print quality is set to best photos are printed to the red. In addition, with DPI Maximum printing photos are much too red.

    This takes place two times printed on paper Normal and on Photo paper

    With the GIMP, I tried to make an example of how a photoprint looks like.

    I made the example by changing the color Balance: Red cyan - about + 40:

    (my GIMP is Dutch...)

    Here is the result:

    LEFT: Photo printed in normal quality; Photo on the RIGHT printed in better quality:

    I have already completely remove the software HP Envy and did a clean reinstall. No change.

    I have print-head - cleaning cycles (2 times); color of HP-testprint strips looks very good: all are strong in alignment is correct

    Unfortunately: No picture change in best quality still too red.

    The ink levels are okay.

    Any suggestions what is wrong and what can solve this problem?

    Thank you for your support

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I noticed that your HP Envy 4504 prints photo is too red with print quality = best on Windows 10 operating system. I'm happy to help you!

    Where a setting is disabled, with GIMP, have you tried to print photo quality with other programs? If so, what happened?

    You use genuine HP cartridges or refills?

    None of your ink cartridges are low or empty?

    In the meantime, please make sure that all the steps in this guide, fixing poor print quality are executed. And let me know what happens!

    I suggest to disable CAPS LOCK key since your message is all in the capital and difficult to read. Have you tried to add to the exception in the Windows Firewall? Try also to change your network connection for work or at home instead of public. Also make sure you installed the latest version of the driver and are compatible. Also try to run the tool:

  • New large Format printing, need help with 450 c

    Hiya, people. I'm SO happy to have met this forum. I need some serious advice with a purchase of Craigslist lightning. This morning, I picked up a DesignJet 450 c with legs/stand and a JetDirect 300 x print server. I did a quick Google search to see if the printer would work with my Macbook and the answer * seems * Yes, it will, using Gutenprint. I could not test the unit out before I forked over the money, but I have fire and managed to load paper, scroll the lightshow market, etc. Worst case, I can sell it on Craigslist.

    I've got it now houses, and I really have no idea how to do it get up and running. It is connected, turned on and it will print configuration pages (so-more in a minute), but something is not quite right and I need help, whether it is user error, bad consumables or a defective unit.

    When I load a sheet of paper and run the black print cartridge alignment routine, I get a sheet printed in alone cyan. When I run the color cartridge alignment routine, I get a printed sheet only in cyan. In fact, when I'll be whatever it is, it is printed in alone cyan. Good news is, the machine seems to be functional. bad news is, it doesn't seem to work correctly immediately.

    I removed all ink cartridges, shaken a little and reinstalled, make the flashing light "Ready" each time. That has really improved the quality of printing cyan, but they are still only cyan. I ordered the new cartridges, but in the meantime, is there anything else I should try? I have a series of questions, but I need to get the machine printing test pages correctly, I think.

    Thanks in advance for your help. Let me know what additional information you might need and I'll see what I can do.

    What is the address of the computer? It should be in the same frame. If this is not the same then the direct stream must be reset so that it can find an ip address that corresponds to your network. Outermost Jet directs reset if you disconect the power and then hold the test button and connect the power supply to. For a few seconds, then release. Wait about 1 minute and then press the test button to get the config page which should now show a new ip address. Type that ip address in your web browser, and it can have a web page where you can refine the settings to make the permanent address.

  • Printing of envelopes with MX920 printer problems

    With the help of MX920 printer with Windows 7 op, mail merge in Microsoft Word document system (linked to the Excel list).  He printed the first envelope very well, and then minutes later after the update the document, I was unable to print more! Support Code 1008; says no paper in the cassette (bottom), which is not true - it's where the envelopes are loaded.  I tried several times to create a document more; has examined all the instructions for printing the envelopes with the 920 (several times) and monitoring them carefully; tried to decrease the number of envelopes in the stack less than 10; has declined to only an envelope; turn the computer off and on again; turn off the printer and turn it back on. nothing worked!

    Please help; I lost a lot of time on it; very frustrating! I can't find any useful messages.

    Just curious - I lose toner whenever the printer goes through its warm up movements? If so, I lost a little!

    Just solved my problem! A misunderstood the instructions; I didn't put the envelope against the wall of the BACK of the cassette.
