  Hello AsusMan,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you are unable to scan a document using the Deskjet 2540. I will do my best to help you! What is your operating system on your computer? Windowsor Mac?

  I recommend the continuation of this entire HP document on an error occurred while scanning "Message appears when scanning on the computer via a USB connection in Windows. "

  I know that you are able to scan a document using a Wi - Fi connection, but you want to ensure that the software is correct when a USB cable is connected. At the end of this document, it does not specify to uninstall/reinstall the software. (Only if you reach the end of this document.)

  Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

• 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!

  Thanks a lot S

  If we had a go at the download for use on the laptop - there were a few problems, but in the end, we managed to get this working

  It's questions and that's how we overcame the

  1 no internet connection on the machine, downloaded the link on a stick of a connected machine, copied on the laptop and I tried to extract and run. Excerpts, but would not go beyond Set - up. Tried several times, even issue and tried to connect to microsoft.net framework, saying that they had the 3.5 version to continue. (only version 2 on XP laptop)

  2 used in m/c to load the .net framework 3.5 on memory stick, transfer it to laptop and run, but still kept trying to connect to the internet to run it out of there.

  3 so focused in trying to establish an internet connection and wifi on the laptop. After a lot of pain reached this, went to the site of microsoft and .net framework 3.5 directly downloaded on laptop with the statement to execute. Has taken a while but it downloaded and installed. Computer restarted-watch installation qualified.

  4 then tried the same thing with the HP link above - IE a download direct and executed. He ran, followed the instructions and connected the printer when requested. All steps except activation - wouldn't connect on the HP Web site link.

  5 creates a document word on the laptop, tried to print it - that prompted a test page and the mod by placing the page printed on the scanner. At the end of the word doc printed. Clicked on the button to say activation to change the time.

  Printer 6 now seems to work fine, just like Copier and scanner - we keep our fingers crossed that it continues!

  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

• HP Deskjet 2540: Scanning with Hello multifunction

  I'm trying to set up my second HP Deskjet 2540 on Mac OS X 10.10. I can see the printer in the Add Printer dialog box and it works as a printer when adding, but it only offers the possibility to add it as a 'Hello' instead of the meaning of "Hello multifunction" OS X does not provide the functionality of the device scan. My other office seemed to offer it and therefore the ability to analyze using the construction in Mac OS X tools rather than install the suite complete driver HP.

  How can I get this also disabled option Hello multifunction printer?

  When it is installed with just 'Hello', showing that 'gender' scanning option is not present in the printer dialog box.

  I managed to find a useful thread

  http://www.Mac-forums.com/forums/OS-x-operating-system/318645-HP-OfficeJet-8600-scanner-will-not-work-OS-x-Yosemite.html

  The key for me was installing HP v3.0 for OS X printer drivers after the package has been installed the all-in-one Hello was displayed when you try to install the printer and "Scan" option now displays in the section 'Printers and Scanners' for my DJ 2540.

  I hope this helps others.

• HP Deskjet 2540: Wireless printing problems with HP Deskjet 2540

  Hi all

  I have a problem with a printer HP Deskjet 2540 - it prints if I connected a USB cable; However, he refuses to print if I try to print wireless.

  I had initially solved this problem when I went into system preferences > printers and Scanners and noticed two 2540 Deskjet series icons in a window titled 'Printers '. I ended up removing one of these icons and set it as a default, which temporarily seems to solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in the "Printers" menu and my printer refuses to print over my wireless connection.

  My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is a problem here - I also recently installed the software for this printer to make sure it wasn't some kind of driver issue; However, it doesn't give me the permanent solution, that I'm looking.

  Any advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

  Please come back to me and let me know what you have tried.  I found an article by HP which has a more in-depth approach to troubleshooting your network configuration.  Click on the title of the article and start of Solution 2 and work your way down until finish you setting up your printer successfully:

  Hello spoi.

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

  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.
