Wireless printing on the HP2540 all in one doesn't work with my Mac computer

I have reinstalled the HP software 4 times but my MacBook Pro with the latest Lion OS will not print wirelessl with my HP 2540 All in One. Does anyone know how I might get this working?

Hello Seraphim8,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are having some problems getting your HP Deskjet 2540 connected wirelessly to your Mac running the Lion OS X.
I would like you to start here: 'Unable to find printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati...
Please follow ALL steps listed and remember not all wireless routers support Bonjour or all of Bonjour's features. Since Bonjour is the default method for discovering printers on a network, you must first make sure that your wireless router supports Bonjour.
The document will help you determine if your router is compatible with Bonjour. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thank you,

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible..?

Hi @millep
To answer your question, no the Officejet 2620 is not a wireless printer;
- Source: Printer specifications
As for the USB cable, personally, I believe the intention is to bring down the cost of the printer by selling the USB cable separately. Many people already have printer USB cables kicking around the house, so instead of paying more for the printer and having an extra cable I believe the theory is reduce the cost and sell the USB separately for those who need to purchase one.
I hope this answers your inquiry.

Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.

I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.

HP Envy 5530 e-all-in-one Does Not Work With Mac

Just bought an HP Envy 5530 all-in-one. It does not print through Safari and possibly other Mac applications. Does not frame the page properly even with "print page" and prints slower than 1 page per minute, even with no background images. My old HP had no problem with Safari. Phone support tells me there is no driver or fix. So I will return the device. Seems crazy. I now see othr commenters saying it doesn't work with Mac. If HP's no longer works with major Mac applications, they will be returned in droves. Anyone know why or know of a fix?

I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

The airplay in apple tv doesn't work with my ipad

I have problem the apple tv.
Why the airplay in the apple tv doesn't work with my ipad,every time i set the password in the air play it won't allow and the (clear password) come out on the screen

connect the atv to a tv which does support the resolution and then lower the resolution and then connect it with your tv once more

10.5.1 broke wireless printing to HP 6210 All In One

That's my educated guess.
I got a MacBook in Nov. last year. It came with 10.5 pre-installed.
I disconnected my existing HP 6210 All In One from my wife's blueberry iMac and plugged it into the USB port on our Airport Express.
Wireless printing worked two or three times. We don't print that much or that often. I was so excited that we could print wirelessly.
At some point I installed to 10.5.1. Pretty soon actually. Probably less than a month after getting the computer. I'm almost 100% positive that it was AFTER that point that this problem started happening and I've installed 10.5.2 (which was supposed to fix wireless printing issues.) It's still happening. Here's what happens.
• While connected to the Aiport Express, The printer shows up in the list or printers. Several times I've deleted it and re-added it since this problem started. It shows up as a BonJour printer and it's the only way one can add it. The Mac even picks the right driver.
• System preferences shows the printer in the printer list, and it shows a green light next to it, and it says "Ready, Idle" (or something to that effect.)
• I send a print order from say, Safari.
• The print queue for the HP opens.
• The print queue shows "Opening printer connection" and "Connecting" and it stays like that for a long time until the queue stops itself. The "Pause printer" button turns into "Resume".
• If, while the print queue is trying to connect, one plugs in an Ethernet cable into the MacBook, the printer all of a sudden begins printing any and all print orders in the queue. Note that the Ethernet cable is connected to the same Ethernet hub as the Airport Express.
• One could also send print orders while the Ethernet cable is connected, and this works just fine, but that's not the problem.
• If, while the print queue is trying to connect, one plugs in the USB cable that is connected to the printer directly into the MacBook, this does absolutely nothing. The print queue just hangs.
• I went to the HP website, and downloaded what appears to be a new set of drivers, and setup software. Installation went fine, BUT I could not "set up" the printer until I connected the USB cable that is connected to the printer directly into the MacBook. Again, that's not the problem.
• The HP website also says that Mac OS X 10.5 has the necessary drivers and no installation is needed.
• The HP website also has a page that lists instructions to set up an HP device on a Wireless network. The instructions involve making sure that the device is set up for wireless capabilities, and connecting to it via BonJour and some other stuff. I can't get very far into this process, because I've been over all the menu options on the printer itself and I can't see anything about wireless setup. I've also looked at the manual (PDF) and there's only one single occurrence of the word "wireless" and it has nothing to do with setup. I forget what it's about right now. It's on the second to last page or somewhere near the very end.
• So that's where I am right now. New drivers, no printing. It worked with 10.5 and I strongly suspect that 10.5.1 broke it. And that 10.5.2 did not fix it at all.
• I would like to test my theory by reverting to 10.5 but I've already had to re-install the OS once and recover from a backup once after re-formatting the internal HD. Better not mess with that.
Any comments and/or questions that would help me fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Good news. It appears to be fixed!
Of all the things I've done, I'm convinced that what fixed it was resetting the printing system. A forum linked to from another place I posted this question mention that it helped others. I found how to reset the printing system in Leopard by searching for it online.
I went to System Preferences > Print & Fax and right clicked on the left had sidebar. The contextual menu had the command "Reset Printing System". This warned me that it would delete all my printers. I said OK. Sure enough all my printers were gone.
For good measure, did the following:
- I re-installed the new HP software.
- I re-set up the HP 6210 while connected directly through USB using the HP setup Assistant. This process adds the printer both as a printer and as a Fax in System Preferences > Print & Fax.
- I opened the print queue and the utility and print a test page using this direct method.
- I disconnected the HP 6210 from the computer and connected it to the Airport Express.
- I went back to System Preferences > Print & Fax and clicked on the plus sign to add another printer
- (additional note) In the resulting dialog box, I tried adding the printer as an IP printer (using the Airport Express' IP address) but for some reason could not find the right driver (I was looking for one with the term "OfficeJet"--more on that below). I picked a different driver knowingly and got a weird message about the software being incomplete. Sure enough, printing to this new printer added this way with the wrong driver did not work at all. I decided to try the OS's own automatic way to add the printer (see below).
- In that same dialog window referenced above, I clicked on the leftmost icon (I think it says "Default") and the (at this point wireless) printer was already on the list as a BonJour printer. I made sure to give it a different name than the already added, direct USB connected (same) printer by adding the word "wireless" so in the printer list and print dialing windows and it's print queue it's called "HP OfficeJet 6200 Series wireless" as opposed to "HP OfficeJet 6200 Series" which is the original direct connected (same) printer. And the driver the OS picked automatically is "HP All In One 5.3.1" (as far I can remember--it could be something a little different).
- I sent a print order from Safari, and boom! I started to print almost immediately! After about 5 minutes, I sent it again, and it printed again! Then I printed page one of an email from Mail, and it worked again!
- So far so good. We'll see if this holds up.
Thanks for all the comments, suggestions and links that helped me (apparently) solve this.

Will Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit support All-in-one Printer F4235?

I have not found this information in the forum, I hope someone will be able to help me.
I purchased a Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit and I'm not sure if it is compatible with my printer. I have an all-in-one F4235. The list on the box does not list this model but it says also works with most other HP printers and all-in-ones. I have checked the website and it lists the same printer so I don't know if the list just has not be updated.
I don't want to open the package until I know if it is compatible.

Yes, the HP Deskjet F4235 (F4200 series) All-in-one supports the Wireless Upgrade kit.
For more information, refer to the below weblink.

Can't print on my F4580 all in one from my MacBook with OSX via usb

Hi Forum,
I have a HP F4580 All-in-one printer/scanner which worked fine on my old laptop with windows vista.
The laptop has now died so i thought I'd try Apple.
I now need to print some stuff off for work but it doesnt seem to produce anything.
It's plugged via usb and its has been setup on the Mac through the System Preferences and Printer & Scanners icon but when you click print on the document you want the little printer icon pops up on the dock at the bottom but the printer never prints anything!!
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or if it evens works through OSX.
Please help.
Many Thanks Willow1980

No problem!
I would recommend repairing the disk permissions on your computer by following this Apple document here. Once this is complete, make sure your Apple updates are complete by following this Apple document here.
Now, I would reset the printing system on your computer. Please follow this Apple document here. If your USB connection isn't responding correctly, then follow this Apple document on USB: Troubleshooting Error Messages. I will be looking forward to hearing from you again!

Hallo! I have Pavillon 5 with internet key.My new printer all-in-one doesn't work in web mode.

hi! my new web printer doesn't work in wireless mode. Pheraps is necessary a router? Thanks to everyone can help me! :-)

Hello maggio63,
You would definitely need to set up a network on a router with a modem for internet connection.
Once this is setup, you can follow this link to enable ePrint.

Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Bobby G.

HP All in One mx8500 stopped working with MacBook Pro

So I have a MacBook Pro and a small Sony Vaio (that I seldom use) and both were configured to the HP when I brought it home. I have used it almost exclusively as a wiresless with good results until one day it stopped working with the MacBook Pro. MacBook is operating on Snow Leopard and is routinely updated. The HP simply does not recognize the MacBook any longer-won't print from it nor won't scan to it. It doesn't give an error message, it just pauses and when I tell it to resume, it pauses again. I have tried using it with the wire to connect the two and that doesn't work either. All this time, if I switch to the Sony, it performs perfectly. Any hints???

Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one won't work with Image Capture

I want to use Image Capture as the scanning software but it won't connect to my scanner (HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one). When I go to browse devices it shows the scanner but when i click on "Use Twain UI", nothing happens, and it is supposed to ask me if I want to connect. I believe that I have followed all of the instructions correctly but nothing is happening. Does the HP Photosmart C2780 even work with Image Capture? and if it does what am I doing wrong?

Install the HP Drivers from HP.
I installed V9.7.1 from the HP website:
