Hp2710

I was given the HP 2710m monitor with built in speakers.
 I connected it to a Dell Studio 540S, Intel Core quad, 6 GB ram, 64 Bit Windows 7 computer. 
With the VGA cord connected, I have a great picture but no sound. 
With the HDMI cord connected I have sound but the font is terribly blurry everywhere, regardless of what program, browser or software i'm running. 
I just bought a DVI to HDMI cable to try, it gave me a good picture(didn't fit the monitor) and no sound.
I also tried plugging in a cable from the audio port on the monitor to the audio port on the computer.
Within the sound settings, unless the HDMI, cord is plugged in the monitor is not an option to use. 
Any idea how to get a good picture with good sound? 
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For sound: correct, HDMI to VGA, HDMI to DVI won't help. You need native  HDMI cable. In this case, can be anything since it it not a brand new monitor. It can be te cable itself, can be from computer. You need to test all 3 components (computer, cable and monitor). Do you have all 3 spare components ?
Regards.

  • HP2710 Wireless printing wont work

    How in the world do you set the printer up for wireless printing?

    Well the first thing to do is read the instruction manual which came with the printer which explains the step by step procedure to get you up and running and loading the CD.
    After that you can try here.

  • Success! How to Print/Scan on network (Win7 & HP 2710)

    OK, I can't say that this will work for everyone considering how many different setups there are out there, but I was able to Print and Scan over my network using the HP software for my Photosmart 2710.  This works about 95% of the way.  The extra 5% I'll explain:
    1) I keep getting a "device driver failed to install" error on restarting the PC.  This only happens on a PC restart and you can silence the message if you want (although it may slience any other hardware install messages with it).  The funny thing is that the printer/scanner still work perfectly fine even with error.
    2) It seems Win7 programs still can't "see" the scanner and it appears to be "half installed"... I'm able to view the scanner properties, but when I select "Scan Profiles" I get an error saying "no scaners are insalled.  However, the HP software can see and use the scanner AND you can press the "scan" button on the printer and get the scanner to load the HP software to capture the scan.
    3) Final Notes:  Printing seems to work perfectly from any program in Win7, and I'm unable to test the Fax since I'm not setup for that.
    4) Lastly, my "UAC" was turned off so I'm unware of any extra "are you sure?" messages you may get.
    ~~~~~How to get the HP Photosmart 2710 to Print, Scan... and maybe Fax over the network with Windows 7~~~~~
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (Fresh install -- Installed Win7 then Installed the HP software to ensure no conflicts)
    Network Connection: Wired through a Belkin N+ router (did not use the 2710's wifi)
    Status: HP Digital Monitor can see and track the printer and scanner, some scanning options may not work if your not using the HP software.
    How to:
    1) Download the latest "HP Officejet and Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers" package (about 164MB large)" for Windows VISTA (32bit & 64bit) and the 2710 and save to your desktop.  Of course you should double check to ensure there's not a new Windows 7 software package available... just in case HP decided to help us out.  If there is, download that instead and ingore the rest of this post. ;-)
    2) Now goto "Start", "Control Panel", "System & Security", "Windows Firewall".  On the left panel select "Turn Windows Firewalll on or off".  Now ensure that both "Turn Off Windows Firewall" options are selected... save your settings.  ALSO, ensure you've turned off any other 3rd party firewalls that may be running "ZoneAlarm, Norton, Symantec, etc".  Finally, you may need to double check your router settings, although if the printer was working before Windows 7... chances are your network is fine.
    3) Now "Right Click" on the driver package sitting on your desktop and select "troubleshoot compatibility"... once Win7 gets done "detecting problems" make sure you select "Troubleshoot Program" (2nd option).  Now select "I don't see my problem listed" and click "Next".
    4) On the new screen select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and click "Next" and then select "I don't see my problem listed"... finally, click the "Start the program..." button that appears.
    5) During the install slide the extra "program compatibility" window out of the way (leaving it open) and allow the installer to do it's work.  If everything goes to plan all the HP software should be installed and your printer should be detected on the network.  Once the installer is all done you can close out the extra window and if you so choose you can "save these settings for this program".
    6)  Restart the PC for good measure and you should be able to run the 2710... keep in mind that you'll probably get the "device driver failed to install" message, but again I've not seen any real problem with that message yet.
    7)  Now you can slow turn the windows firewall and any other 3rd party firewall settings back to what they were before.. keeping in mind that you might  have to give permission for the HP software to passthrough the firewalls you have running for it to work correctly.
    Hope this helps, until HP does.   I'll try to answer any questions to the best of my ability.  Sorry about any spelling errors.

    Thank you for the above. It got me most of the way, but I had to do a few more bits to get the drivers to work correctly on Windows 7 Professional.
    * Install windows 7
    * Install anti virus/spam/firewall solution
    * Install the 'basic' inbuilt windows 7 printer driver for the HP 2710. Then check it will print, so know printer works
    * Turn off the firewall used on windows 7
    * Installs the Vista drivers for the HP 2710, under vista service pack 2 compatibility mode, as above
    * Download and install the Vista Reboot patch for Windows 7 upgrade (I think this stops the driver message at startup)
    * At this point the printer worked, but scanner did not.
    * Download and install the Windows 7 c309a All in 1 Photosmart software. Ignore when it looks for the c309a printer, and say complete the install. Basically this looks to be a newer photosmart based on the same software solution as the original HP2710. As it over-installs the 2710 software & drivers, it automatically fixes the bits that the 2710 install did not get right.
    * Turn on your firewall
    * Reboot the windows 7 PC
    * On startup allow the HP software to access the different network bits (say Yes) to can HPxxxx access networks etc..
    * Update Win7 with microsoft updates
    * Reboot PC
    Now after a few reboots the PC starts with a full patched Win 7 Operating System and the HP 2710 can Print, Scan, Fax as normal. Now I can use the HP2710 for another year until it breaks on me.

  • Wifi Printer Not Found

    I have a MacBook and I bought a new Epson Artisan 730 printer. I have set up the wifi correctly because I can print from my iPhone and iPad, but my Mac does not see it. When I open Print and Scan and try to add the printer it does not show up. Nearby Printers is also not an option as it is grey and unclickable. I am at a loss on what to do next. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

    I had exactly the same "scanner not connected" problem when up upgraded to OS X Leopard. However I've just downloaded the latest 10.4 driver from the HP web site
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-53297-1 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=420428&os=219&lang=en
    And I seem to have somehow managed to get everything working once I re-installed their latest driver and followed the set-up process (having deleted the previous printers first). After opening "Print & Fax" when prompted to click "open print utility" (as this does not work), I then added the HP2710 printer by clicking the plus sign and choosing the "Default" tab in the add printer window, I selected the add printer button again (plus sign) and chose the "more printers" tab along the top of the add printer window and then chose HPAiO Fax and this added the fax to my print queue.
    Then when I went back to the HP set-up process and let it finish, everything, included my scanner miraculously seemed to work...hallelujah!
    Hope this help someone, as it's the first ever time I've been able to offer some assistance in discussions, rather than bugging everyone with all my problems!
    Big Love

  • What in inkchecker and why is its launch path not accessible?

    I've just started getting these error messages in my console every time I use the system print command. (It happens as soon as I click on print and the print dialog box appears - before I make any choices of print/preveiw, etc). It seems to just have started for no reason I can think of. I've been using 10.4.7 on my PPC G4 Mini, thinking of going to 10.9 but worried this might mess up my printing.
    I have an HP2710 that has given me very little trouble (other than install over wireless network). I have one "printer" set up for the gimp printer drivers and one for the HP drivers.
    I HAVE been able to print, but I'm concerned about the error messages.

    I can find no meaninful references to "inkchecker" anywhere - is it part of apple system software - could this be a corrupted file?
    Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions, etc.

    I have upgraded to 10.4.9 and this message has gone away. Wasn't able to figure out if it was coming from HP or gimp software.
    I've done an "archive and install" which seems to have not carried over my printing setup (need the HP software for the All-in-One to be able to use the Scan, Fax, Memory Module), so I have the printer installed through Bonjour. Who knows -- Maybe it will start again when I get around to re-installing the HP AIO drivers?
    I'm going to mark this as answered.
