HP Desjet 2540 problem Wireless printer, printer is connected but does not print from pc

I wanted to install my HP Deskjet 2540 printer, the installation went quickly, the printer is installed wirelessly.. but I can't print. I can print from my tablet to the printer. But ofcourse I also need to print from my pc > printer. I already used the HP print and scan doctor.
when I click at print document the printer icon at the bottom appaers and says, 0 documents waiting list.
Please can somebody help me.. it's driving me crazy!

Hi 11111981,
It sounds to me like it could be an issue with the driver. What happened when you used the Print and Scan Doctor?
I suspect the best approach is to remove the driver for the printer server properties and then readd the printer using the HP Setup and Software. Use the instructions below to perform these tasks.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties'.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only"
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue r or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
7. Open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Deskjet folder > HP Setup and Software
8. Select "Connect a new printer"
9. Follow the on screen instructions
Please let me know if this resolves the issue you are experiencing. If it does not, please run the Print and Scan Doctor again and see if there are any changes, also, please post back with the results from the Print and Scan Doctor as it may help point me in the right direction.

  • Wireless All-in One receives scan and ink level but does not print

    My wireless printer was working fine, now it can scan and send scan to my computer, my computer receives ink levels in the utility. Now it will not print from Word or other programs that I was able to print. When I restart the computer with a document  in the printer queue, when it gets to my desktop screen, it prints. But still will not print from Word unless I do the restart again. I have restarted the printer(which works with other computers in the house) and even deleted and reloaded the HP program. My computer receives but does not print. I even tried direct usb connection

    This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

    Hi,
    Firstly, I would suggest we use Exchange 2013 FE as the Outlook Anywhere proxy server.
    For the certificate issue, it mostly occurs because the host name that Outlook are trying to access does not match the certificate SAN. Please check with this point. If they do not match, you
    can change the host name by referring to the following article:

  • HT4113 ipad password is giving me problems, works on wallpaper to unlock but does not work for restrictions or reset

    ipad password is giving me problems, works on wallpaper to unlock but does not work on reset or restrictions

    You can try to remember or get the passcode somehow. If not, the only other option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • My 6310 All in One will print a test page but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. WTH?

    My HP 6310 will print a test page fine, but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. It goes thru the motions, but the image printed is almost not there. I have new ink cartridges in it. I have adjusted the print settings. STILL won't print properly. WTH???

    Hm, okay, thanks for getting back to me again!
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and test print again.

  • PDF shows multiply-transparent jpgs, but does not print them

    Hi all, i have to print some store vouchers with different logos, but too bad some of them are jpgs. I've set them to "multiply" with 60% opacity, and when I export to PDF, it actually shows pages as it should, but when I print them, these logos magically don't appear. What the heck am I failing? Attached screens of my working profile. Thanks!

    While I think your boss is making a big mistake and sacrificing quality in the output, he is the boss. Make a new PDF preset -- start with X-1a, then change the standard to None and check the box to simulate overprint. Does that work? Do you see thin white lines (stitching) around transparent areas? That's a major problem on screen and with digital printing from flattened PDFs.

  • HP LaserJet M1530. Working from OpenOffice, will not print envelope. Sends info, does not print.

    Basically that. The info is sent to the printer, it shows up in queue, but the printer will not print. Doesn't even try.

    The likely cause is the black ink is not printing at all.  When printing graphics (like the Windows Test Page) black is made from mixing the color ink.  I would suggest printing an internal diagnostic test page as shown in this page.  Does the black block print?  If not then clean the printheads as described here.

  • When I print a page from the internet it only prints a partial page. I have tried print to fit, it still does not print the whole page. I change the scale to 40% but the print was so small that I could not read it.

    How can I print the document on two or more pages?

    Hi,
    The HP ePrint does not support web pages printing
    Printing Web pages through email is currently not supported. HP is in the process of developing solutions to support Web page printing for mobile devices.

  • Built in print button works but does not print full screen

    I am using Captivate 7 and trying to use the built in print widget to print off a slide in my project.  The problem I'm having is when I attempt to print off a slide using the button it only prints off half of the slide.  It seems as if it is not scaling correctly and I don't any setting within the widget to correct this.  I'm wondering if I need to adjust my setting elsewhere in the project or maybe there is a better way to print off a slide?  Currently I am exporting this project as SWF 1024 X 768.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

    Captivate's default print widget is hopeless.  You need the Intelligent Print widget from CpGurui:

  • New macbook pro connects to HP psc printer but does not print

    Hi,
    I have just got the new macbook pro model A5102 and i have followed the instructions on the HP website to install my HP psc 1317 all- in-one printer. I am using a USB connection, and I have followed the instructions, turning on printer, connecting via usb, checking for software updates. The printer queue is automatically made, and i go to printer and scanners and it is there in the list. I then go to print and nothing appears in the queue. I disconnect the printer and it goes offline so the connection via usb is working, its just not printing. I have also restarted the laptop and I have deleted and re-installed printer several times. I don't know if I am missing something out, so can somebody please help. Ive been to the HP website as I assumed I needed to download a driver but it does not give me the option.
    Thanks,
