  Hello @Mike90, thanks for the reply!

  Don't think it's my AntiVirus because I run the same on my old desk.

  Security software installed on your computer is designed to protect your computer against threats, but sometimes can block communication between devices and can cause problems when using your printer or install the software.

  A quick troubleshooting technique is to disable your firewall/antivirus and see if the problem goes away. Remember to re-enable your security later.

  You can see the category 'firewall and software provider specific security information' of this site; Security and firewall information if you would like more information on your security software.

  When you have downloaded the software fact all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 Printer series full feature software and drivers - download version 10 of Windows?

  

  I would try this;

  1. Unplug your USB cable.
  2. Click on the Start Menu, find and open devices and printers.
  3. Right-click on any printer that refers to this model, then click on remove device (so delete all HP Deskjet 2540 s in here)
  4. Then repeat installation, unplugged the USB cable and see if the installation detects the printer already on your network.

  Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

  I look forward to hear from you!

  Thank you

• I tried to connect my printer HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series to my Dell Inspiron 15

  Separated from this thread.

  Hi Bill,

  I tried to connect my HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series printer to my Dell Inspiron 15 for two days without success.  Can you help me?

  Lenora,

  I have a HP DeskJet 2540 on my Dell Inspiron 1545.

  The instructions from HP work so you should be fine if you follow them.  The CD contains a ReadMe file that describes the installation procedure.

  You must install the software first, and only then connect the printer.  Note that you will first need to install it on a USB connection.  You can change this later if, like me, you intend to use it with WiFi.

• 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!

  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)

• HP deskjet 2540: request product code

  How can I get my application code?

  Hey @janbols,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I understand that you're looking for your all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2540 claimcode.  I want to help you with this.

  Connected HP is an excellent resource for platelets, ePrint and other features, but it is only compatible with webservices/ePrint enabled printers.  Your printer does not have a feature of Web services...  There is therefore no way you can get (or create) a claimcode to connect your HP printer connected.

  Despite this, you can always use it in combination with iOS, Android and Windows devices most via a direct wireless connection or a wireless connection mutually shared on the same network (SSID).  So, if you need assistance in obtaining your printer installation for use with a smartphone or Tablet (basically anything but your current PC) or you need help to connect to your network without wire in general, please reply to this message with the details on what you're looking to achieve and I'll be happy to help you.

  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution. Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  Have a great day!

• HP Deskjet 2540 All In One: Unable to print color?

  I have a Deskjet 2540 brand new all-in-One. Printer is delivered without any instruction manual. How to print color? I hit 'print' of my document and it comes out in black and white. When I type on the printer, the 'color' button, it draws just a piece of paper through the unit and nothing is displayed at all. I do not understand this crazy thing. My old printer didn't need me to tell it to print color or black and white, that he knew what was coming through the system. I'm about to make this thing.

  Thanks, actually it would print test print color, just not when I tried to get a print document in color. new printer, new cartridges. Change my selection of the printer of HP Deskjet 2540 2540 Deskjet series just seemed to settle, I don't know why. I just mention it here in case other Mac users have the same problem.

• 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
