I just want to open the top cover & make a copy.

I just want to make a copy on the HP Deskjet 2541, but the wireless button keeps flashing. I have not hooked up this printer to my computer.  I just want to use it for making a copy right know.  When I first plugged it in & hooked it up, I was able to make copies just fine.  But all of a sudden the wireless button & control panel display lights keep flashing, and I cannot make a simple copy.

Hello @e60age,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the blinking light error state that you're experiencing on your HP Deskjet 2541 All-in-One Printer. Now, the blinking wireless light shouldn't be affecting your copy function. When the blue wireless light blinks it just means that your HP Deskjet is 'searching' for a wireless network. Because your machine is used as a standalone copier this wireless light status doesn't have any affect. However, the other blinking control panel lights may be indicating that there is an actual error state occuring on your machine.
Unfortunately, you did not indicate what other control panel display lights keeps flashing. Therefore, I will not be able to provide you with accurate troubleshooting steps at this point. Please take a look on your printer and verify exactly what blinking or solid lights you see on your printer as I will need to know.
In the meantime, you can take a look at the following support document: Blinking Lights
Once the support document opens please follow the steps that match the blinking light pattern you see on your machine.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist be sure to include what lights are blinking on your machine. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • N97 camera does not work when i open the len cover

    I think the camera softeware has bug. Tthe camera software shows up when all the menu, and when i click i can see the zoom in/out slider but nothing there is no image showing up on the screen. The screen is dark and it looks like the camera sensor does not receive any image from outside. This can be fixed by restarting the phone but it's very annoying. I had to reset like 10 times a day. If i leave the software on it's fine but if i turn off the software (close the lens cover) and turn back on the bug occurs. Anyone has the same issue like me? Do i need to update the firmware? Im on the original firmware.

    it does not happen all the time to me, but sometimes if I open and close it to often, it would happen.
    but I don't need to reset the phone, just close and open the len cover again, and it works.

    You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.

    If you want to unlock an iPhone you must contact the carrier it is locked to.

  • When I start my MAC Pro (OSX10.6.7), It always opens the Application window. How do I prevent that from happening? I just want to see the desktop

    Everytime I start my MAC, the Applications window opens. How do I prevent that from happening. I just want to see the Desktop with the normal Hardrives and folders I setup on the Desktop.

    Start up. Close the offending finder window. Shut down.
    Now start up again.
    Is it fixed?

  • How do i remove the top cover for the K410?

    I spilled water on the top of my computer, and it messed up one of the USB ports on the top of it...  now the computer constantly pops up connect/disconnect messages.  I want to take the top bezel (or cover, or whatever it's called) off so that i can disconnect (or cut) the cable to that USB port, but i cant figure out how to remove it.  Does anyone know how to take it off?  It's the very top of the machine, which has the power button and 4 or 5 inputs. 
    Both USB cables go into one plug at the motherboard, otherwise i would just disconnect it there.  I suppose i could cut one of them at the motherboard, but i want to make sure im cutting the right one.
    Thanks for any help.

    Just guessing, if water is should dry in a day or two and not be a problem.  Also, guessing, probably have to pull the side cover to get access to release the top.

  • I have an IPhone 6 I'm going on a cruise and I won't be making calls or using data I'm just wanting to use the camera ...is there something I can do to to turn these off?

    I have an IPhone 6 I'm going on a cruise and I won't be making calls or using data I'm just wanting to use the camera ...is there something I can do to to turn these off?

    All you need to do is turn on Airplane Mode. It's in the settings, or the easier way is to swipe up from the bottom to open the Control Center and turn on Airplane Mode there. It's the first button at the top, with the airplane icon.
    When you turn on Airplane Mode all of your data is shut off. You can optionally turn on just Bluetooth and Wifi if you want; for example, if you wanted to use the cruise ship wifi without turning on your phone radio, or if you wanted to use a Bluetooth speaker or keyboard. But if you don't need all that just turn on Airplane Mode and leave Bluetooth and Wifi off.

  • Macbook pro Late 2011 13.3 inch i7 keyboard and trackpad not working bluetooth showing a cross sign and no usb mouse is detected. Almost dead keyboard and mouse. Earlier same problem used to be solved by opening the lower cover and closing it.

    My macbook pro 13.3 inch i7 late 2011 edition has previously encountered unresponsive trackpad and keyboard. To solve that, I used to open the back cover and then close it. It has been working fine since that. Yesterday, same thing happened, this time I noticed that bluetooth icon is showing a cross sign across it and keyboard and trackpad were unesponsive. After some time , everything worked fine and bluetooth sign was back to normal. Then , suddenly it went back to the problem. I shut it down by holding the power button. When I booted it again, I could not login because keyboard and trackpad were not working. I attached a HP mouse it didnt work. I opened the back cover disconnected the battery and then connected it again, didnt worked. Since then , I have tried many things and nothing has solved the problem.

    @sanjampet
    As you suggested I reset the smc, in the first boot nothing worked. In the second boot, it all worked like a charm. I thought that my problem is resolved now. To test it, I shut it down properly. Next morning, I powered it on, all things i.e, keyboard, trackpad, bluetooth etc. worked and I thought that problem has been solved. When I was just going to visit apple forum to reply you,  the same problem reappeared. A sawtooth cross over bluetooth icon, keyboard not working, trackpad not working,no usb mouse working which worked well when it was fine. I reset smc so many times again and again but same problem continued. Isn't it a problem of the firmware?
    Next time when it will work, I will update its firmware.
    My macbook was bought in dec2011 so no warranty now.

  • ITunes DJ just puts songs at the top of the list

    Ok, something which is really annoying me is that if you want to play a song in iTunes DJ, it just puts it at the top of the list, and all the songs which were before it are still in their place. I want to select a song to play, and start from there as the top of the list, skipping all the songs before it, like what happened in Party Shuffle. Is there any way to do this? Any Applescripts or hidden settings? Thanks for any help

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

  • I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
    In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy.  Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
    For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
    Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

  • I just want to open PDF's

    I just want to open a pdf from my websearch,, WHY do I have to join a forum? How did I geth here from customer support?

    No idea how you got here. You don't know?
    So, now that you're here, maybe we can help?
    Can you tell us whether you have Reader and if so, what version? What OS? What exactly you were doing when you had the problem (clicking a link to a pdf, opening one on your computer...etc) and what ended up going wrong (error messages...etc.)

  • I downloaded an update from creative suite 5.5. to 6.0 and then switched computers for a few months. looks like all of the applications have not disappeared. maybe a trial was uploaded instead of the actual updates? anyway, i just want to get the applicat

    i downloaded an update from creative suite 5.5. to 6.0 and then switched computers for a few months. now I am back using the original computer and it looks like all of those Adobe applications (both 5.5 and 6.0) have disappeared. Maybe a "trial" was uploaded instead of the actual updates? Anyway, i just want to get the applications back onto my computer. i tried to enter the serial numbers on my original packaging but systems side error message from Adobe says they were already "redeemed" (which makes sense bc I already downloaded the updates. Apparently there is no phone customer service for Creative Suite anymore. ARRGGG. Any and all suggestions welcome!
    -Michele

    there is no update from 5.5. to 6.0.
    you could have upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0, but you would know that because you paid money.
    assuming you paid no money for a 6.0 upgrade, you still have your 5.5 license.  uninstall clean and reinstall 5.5 per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • I just want to open a picture in LR by double clicking on it in a folder.

    I just want to open a picture by double clicking on it in a folder, why does Lightroom open the import dialogue, force me to close the dialogue, open Navigator, scroll down to the folder I already have open in Explorer, load the folder and then pick the picture I want? Does it have to be so complicated?

    If my daughter sends me a picture of her road under 5" of snow, I really don't need to open LR to look at it, as I may look and dispose - I guess I'll have to set everything but Tiffs and RAW files to open in Photogallery or my old copy of Elements.
    Exactly - Lr isn't really intended as a quick photo viewer.
    Irfanview is a very good solution to that requirement.
