• DeskJet 2540 will not print envelope

  I cannot print envelopes to this printer

  Hi KDeB,

  No worries, I'm here to help!

  You may need to change the power settings in Word. The setting will depend on your version, but take a look at the image below. This could help you find what we are looking for.

  In Word, click on tools, select letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels, box of the envelope will be opened in the envelope tab, enter your address, click Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the auto supply, it can be set to manual. Also check the power method to make sure that it is on the right position.

  

  I hope that this helps, but if you need help, let me know which version of Word you have. Thank you.

• HPC7250 printer all in one will not be installed to G500 computer laptop Lenovo with 8.1

  I have a HP Photosmart C7250 that prints from an old mac, but the new Lenovo G500 with 8.1 does not find the printer or says that it is offline.  Software from the Web site solution installs for 20 minutes, then when I try to start, it starts to install the exact same software again and again.  It is in a loop of some sort.  The computer says there is a problem with the printer, but can not solve the problem. Can you help me?  Thank you.  RobertM9

  Uninstall the old drivers allowed the complete software suite to install, and I printed out just my first doc. I hope this helps someone else.

• BlackBerry 8530 smartphones will not be recognized by computer

  I have a 8530 with 1.5 free space that will not be recognized by my operating system Windows Professional 7 600 G. I uninstalled BB OS, re-installed and restarted my computer several times, the driver will not be recognized by the computer. I tried updating the driver, but it won't take. "Software for USB MTP device cannot start." On the device driver, the BB Phone and USB composite device work properly, but the "RIM MS/DPW does not start." So the whole device is not recognized as a device on the system.

  As for the device driver files:

  C:\Windows\System 32\Drives\wpdMtpDr.dll

  C:\windows\system32\Drives\winusb.sys

  C:windows\system32\DrivesWUDFRd.sys

  C:windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll

  C:windows\system32\WpdMMtpUS.dll

  The driver will not be displayed in the computer, but the BB phone says: "File version 6.1.7600.16385. Victory 7_rtm.090713 - 1255.

  Fortunately, I can synchronize my data in the Organizer, but I can't transfer photos or music.

  Can someone help me?

  Well, it's a shame... I tried to write, with links to all sorts of instructions step by step, so that almost anyone could do. The only really "dangerous" part is the register edition... and you can skip past, and I hope that things will still work. Is there a specific portion of this set of instructions that you fear excessive?

  Otherwise, I hope you find another solution that solves your problems.

  Good luck!

• HP Deskjet 2540: Yellow not right!

  I recently adapted authentic HP 301 colour and black ink for my printer.

  Since then, the yellow has been printing more as a color or as a pure yellow that makes any muddy color printing.  Nothing not done, I ran all cleaning and diagnosis.

  It's a questionable print cartridge or am I missing something?

  See you soon

  Hi @chefdude ,

  I see that you are having problems after replacing the yellow cartridge. You ran all cleaning and Diagnostics with the same results. I would like to help you today.

  I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
  Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
  This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Try the following steps to see if it will solve the problem.

  Hello destiny.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

  • Is the printer connected directly to the PC or it is on a network?
  • What is a printer wired or wireless?
  • What is the brand and model of the printer?

  Try the following and see if it helps.

  Method 1: Disable Antivirus

  If you have installed any third party such as antivirus or firewall security software, I would say you temporarily disable and check if it works.

  Disable the anti-virus software

   

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Method 2: Update the drivers for your printer.

  For more information, see these links:

  c. right-click the print spooler service and then click Properties.
  d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.
  e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation,
  type the password or provide confirmation.

  If nothing works, then manually add the printer to the local port and check.

  Method 4: Manually add the printer to the local port.

  a. go to control panel and click on devices and printers.
  b. click Add a printer, and then select Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list is Local Port. Don't change that.
