Desk jet 2540

Hi,
Our router broke so we changed it but we can't connect to the desk jet with Iphones Macbook or desktop Mac at all, they all worked before the router stopped working.
We tried turning everything off and rebooting but without success.
We then tried reinstalling but nothing finds the desk jet,we also ran a test on the desk jet and the report says it's not connected but can see our broadband network.
Can you please help I'm at a loss?
Thanks
Colin

Desk jet 2540 not printing from iPad

Hi , I've just bought a Desk jet 2540. It was printing from my iPad with no problems this morning but now does not. The iPad can see the printer and the printer is displaying a solid blue light on the wireless button. After printing a test page I can see that the printer is connected to my wifi with and 'excellent' signal quality. Can you help me please?
Kind regards,
Lee

Hello @Lom111,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to print from your iPad to your HP Deskjet 2540. Your printer is still on the wireless network, but when you attempt to print nothing happens.
I would like you to start troubleshooting here: Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs, once on the page please select the 'No AirPrint Printers Found' section.
Let me know the outcome, I look forward to hearing from you.

Scanning feature on desk jet 2540 does not work with drivers 990c

Hello,
I reset my computer a few weeks ago ( acer with vista home edition) . and after i did that my printer driver software stopped working, when i tried to reinstall it. so i have to install with the 990c printer drivers. It prints perfectly BUT the scanner is not recognized at all.
the original printer software is not installed on my computer because when its installed the drivers for 990c does not work. once i remove the original HP. Desk Jet Software and install the drivers it works perfectly.
Can someone please tell me of a work around to get the scanner portion to work properly

Hi @Chayda ,
I see that you are having issues trying to scan with the Deskjet 990c drivers. When the full software for the printer is installed, the Deskjet 990c driver won't work. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The Deskjet 990c drivers are preinstall print drivers only. To be able to print and scan, you would have to install the Full Feature Software and Drivers for the Deskjet 2540.
Here is the URL to download, save and then ran the latest drivers.
HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
You should be able to have more then the one driver installed for the printer and still be able to print with either one.
To use an alternate print driver for HP printers in Windows Vista:
1. Click on the Start menu.
2. Click on Printers.
3. Click on Add Printer.
4. Select HP from the first list.
5. Select Deskjet 990c from the second list or use the Deskjet 450 driver.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Finish.
8. Click Apply.
9. Click OK to close the window.
Then you should have the two drivers listed again in the Printers folder.
You can set the Deskjet 990c or the Deskjet 450 driver as the default printer for printing, when you want to scan select the Deskjet 2540.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues using the alternative driver. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

Help! Can I set up desk jet 2540 on iPad

Hi can anyone tell me if I can set my deskjet all in one 2540 up on my iPad mini? I don't have a disc drive to put the setup cd into and the installation website it gives you in the box just comes up with an error, I think maybe because I can't set it up from my iPad?

Hi Bellesy,
There are several ways of printing from your iPad. We just have to make sure that the printer and the iPad are connected to the same network.

Hello danamaple,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Depending on the Operating System installed on the computer, setting up the Deskjet 2540 can be done different ways. The easiest and most popular method is to use a USB cable and the printer software to setup wireless on the printer.

I cannot detect my wireless HP desk jet 3520 printer from my iPad?

I can't find an Arris router with that model number, are you sure it is not a TG862?
Regardless, Arris routers are known to either be incompatible with Bonjour or have problems with Bonjour packets hence Airprint will not work. Check with Arris' website and see if there is a firmware update availble for your router for Bonjour/Airprint compatibility and install it or switch out your router.

Help with HP desk jet F4435 on MacBookPro

I tried installing my HP desk jet F4435 with the disc that came with the printer. I received a "successful" message. It wouldn't print. Then I uninstalled the printer and tried just plugging in the USB to connect it. Tried printing and receieved yet another error message.
HELP!

Some hp driver software for your printer here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&sw_l ang=&product=304431#N207
If needed, gutenprint 5.2.9 can be obtained here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Many network printers do not require an explicit driver, or can use "Generic". They accept standard protocols and can be printed to directly. If the printer can be discovered automatically and appears in the list of available printers, it should determine what driver is needed and go fetch any needed driver for you.

DESK JET 6940

i have a desk jet 6940 that will not comunicate with my desk top computer.I have a DELL with
windows professional. Its hooked up to a router.

Hello jghiggs, welcome back to the forums
I read your post about how your Deskjet 6940 is not communicating with your Windows PC, that is connected to a router.
I will gladly do my best to help you however, I will need some more information from you to clarify the problem.
Please let me know the answers to the following questions and if you have not yet tried the steps, please give them a shot and let me know the results!
Can you print a test page from the printer itself (without using the PC)?
Do this by pressing the cancel button (X) on the printer until the test pages starts printing, and then release the button.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor which may correct the printing issue, if not it will alert you to where the issue is, let me know the detailed results.
Have you tried printing from different programs?
Which version of Windows are you running? (XP, 7, 8, 8.1)
How is the printer connected to the computer? (Wireless/Ethernet/USB)?
Have you tried an alternate connection?
What Firewalls and Anti-virus software are installed? Have you tried disabling or uninstalling them?
Please let me know the above information and results and we will proceed from there!
Thank you and enjoy your Wednesday!
