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.

  • 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.

  • Connecting iPad to desk jet 2540 printer

    How can I connect my new hp desk jet 2540 printer to my iPad as the web page dose not work and there dose not seem to be any other way as an iPad dose not have a cd rom.

    Hi,
    If your router support WPS (Wireless Protected Setup), you may connect it to your network using this method, you may find the steps below:
    Method one: Push buttonFollow these instructions to connect using the Push button method on your printer control panel.
    On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button ( ) for more than three seconds. The Wireless Status light starts blinking.
    Press the WPS button on your router. The printer begins a timer for approximately two minutes while a wireless connection is established.
    Method two: PINFollow these instructions to connect using the PIN method on your printer control panel.
    On the printer's control panel, press the Wireless button ( ) and the Start Copy Black button ( ) at the same time. The Network Configuration page prints.
    Find the WPS PIN printed at the top of the page.
    On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button ( ) for more than three seconds. The Wireless Status light starts blinking.
    Open the configuration utility or software for the wireless router or wireless access point, and then enter the WPS PIN.
    NOTE: For more information about using the configuration utility, see the documentation provided with the router or wireless access point.
    Wait about 2 minutes. If the printer connects successfully, the wireless light stops blinking but remains lit.
    If your router does not support WPS, a computer is required for its network configuration. use any Windows PC or a Mac to connect it for the first time by following these steps:

  • TS1398 I can't set up wifi on my new ipad.

    I can't set up wifi on my new ipad. It won't connect to the network. Wifi is working on other devices in the house.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • How can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

    HOw can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

    I Don't know if you can or not.
    but you could try one if these 2 things:
    -under a new contact in name type the names of the people. Next, I'm not sure if this will work, but for phone just put a different hone down.
    -Also tou could just make a group message. In messages just type all the names in the to field after you tap compose.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Can I set up folders in pages on iPad?

    how can i set uo pages folders?

    You can create folders in iOS Pages in a manner similar to creating and using Folders as described in Chapter 3 of the iOS User Guide found as a special bookmark in Safari. Well worth reading.
    In Pages Document View (where you see thumbnails of each document) tap on a document and drag it over another document to create a folder. Additional documents can then be dragged into the folder. To remove a document in a folder, tap, hold then drag out of the folder.
    There are limits: each folder can only hold 20 documents and you cannot nest folders or place a folder inside another folder.

  • How can i set up mail rules from an iPad?

    I am familiar with using rules to filter email.
    From my Mac at home I acces iCloud.com and have no problems.
    I went away for the long weekend, and brought only my iPad.
    I started receiving spam from a new source and wanted to filter it out.
    From safari, when I go to iCloud I only have three choices, none of them useful.
    I have tried to use different URLs but always get redirected to /ipad_welcome/
    Is there a way to do this?
    Or does the post-PC device still need a PC?

    I think there is not a good solution for it (yet). The best solution is to check if you mailserver provides a spam filter solution. I use Gmail and it provides a filter on the serverside. This means the mail is filtered befor I receive it on my iPad (and iPhone). You can also set up a gmail account as a exchange and push all the filtered folders.
    Cheers
    Gmail exchange set up:

  • Can I set child lock for safari on iPad?

    Sorry, no. What you can do is enable restrictions, which you can use to lock out all access to safari (just dont' forget the passcode you use to enable this) and then unrestrict when you want to use Safari.

  • Please help - Can't set classpath on RedHat with jdk 1.3.1

    I'm trying to run an app and having lots of trouble with setting the classpath. I wouldn't even mind setting it on boot up. The only way I've gotten it to work was to manually type "export CLASSPATH=/usr/[the rest of it]" Can someone help?
    Here's what I've tried:
    edited rc.sysinit and added the following lines:
    # Set the classpath
    CLASSPATH=/usr/stoneware/config:/usr/stoneware/bin:/usr/stoneware/bin/gnujsp.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/ProxyServlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jnet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jcert.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jsse.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/stoneware.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/StonewareClient.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/com.mortbay.jetty.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/javax.servlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/openxml-1.2.jar
    export CLASSPATH
    I've also tried setting from a .sh file using -classpath like this:
    /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/java -ms16mb -classpath=/usr/stoneware/config:/usr/stoneware/bin:/usr/stoneware/bin/gnujsp.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/ProxyServlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jnet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jcert.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jsse.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/stoneware.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/StonewareClient.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/com.mortbay.jetty.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/javax.servlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/openxml-1.2.jar -DStoneware.client.config=StonewareRelay.cfg com.stoneware.server.StonewareRelay
    And I've tried this:
    export CLASSPATH=/usr/stoneware/config:/usr/stoneware/bin:/usr/stoneware/bin/gnujsp.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/ProxyServlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jnet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jcert.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/jsse.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/stoneware.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/StonewareClient.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/com.mortbay.jetty.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/javax.servlet.jar:/usr/stoneware/bin/openxml-1.2.jar
    /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/java -ms16mb -DStoneware.client.config=StonewareRelay.cfg com.stoneware.server.StonewareRelay
    Please keep in mind the word wraps. The "-" you see is not really by itself, the text got wrapped.
    Thanks,

    The way I usually set the CLASSPATH and PATH in Linux (RedHat specifically) is to edit the .bash_profile file in your home directory (/home/username/.bash_profile) and include them there. This will cause your CLASSPATH and PATH to be set everytime you run bash (if you want details on why, their is documentation on it). Your .bash_profile will usually have a PATH already so you can just add to it. Make sure when you add CLASSPATH to also add that to the EXPORT line at the bottom as it is easy to forget. That should work. The way you are saying to do it should work as well, I am not quite sure what you are having problems with but I have used the above method on over 20 machines and it has worked every time so far.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a hp printer wireless 2540 series and I want to no how I can print from my iPad while on the Internet, as it seems I can only front if my iPad is not connected to the Internet?

    If you have a Wifi network, the printer has to be connected to the network instead of using Wireless Direct connection.
