Printer HP 2540

HP printer 2540, ceased to print. check all connections, connection wi - fi but network said "not connected, why?

Hi pissedoff14,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I understand that the printer no longer works on the network.

I'll be happy to help you.

I'd do a power reset to see if that will solve the problem.

When the printer is still lit, disconnect the power cable to the back of the printer, if the printer has external power supply with a detachable power cord unplug for 15 seconds and reconnect it.
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to drain the power.

Then, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.

Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and turn on again.

Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

Print a network page to see if it is a hardware or software problem.

Check the IP address to check if the printer is still on the network.

Printing a Network Setup Page.

Cycle power to the router and the computer.

Try and print again if you have a valid IP address.

If you're still having problems, then go through the steps of the does not maintain connection printer wireless.

Please let me know the results if you are still having problems.

Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great weekend!

    Hello Johanna2014,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you have a problem with the lines and scratches on your print jobs.  I would like to make a few steps, we can go to solve this problem.

    First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    I also find a document called the streaks of ink, fixing faded prints and other common print quality problems.

    Please feel free to write back if you have any questions or concerns.

    See you soon,.

  • printer Deskjet 2540: lost password

    Which none are for letting me print saying no printer found internet or not no password

    Unfortunately I don't remember the password any help would be appreciated as not good with technology

    Thank you

    Sharon

    You might want to try to set your printer to the factory settings that should erase the passwords can be added when you configure applications. I'll look in a specific way to do for your printer, but in the meantime try what works for my all in one printer scanner.
    Turn on the printer.
    turn it off by unplugging the power adapter, wait a minute.
    If it has a keyboard, press and hold the # and 3 buttons while plugging the adapter back in. Keep and hold keys until the printer reboots.

    See if you can print from your Tablet after the reset.
    Sometimes simply unplug the printer for a few minutes will reset things.
