Impresora HP Deskjet 6540

Hace poco que me compre mi primer iMac y tengo unas dudas que de momento no he podido resolver.
Una de ellas es que la impresora que tengo es una estupenda HP 6540 que ha estado funcionando con Windows estupendamente pero no es que los drivers no lo reconoce Yosemite sino que quisiera tener el programa original de HP que tan bien me ha ido.
Mi pregunta es como solucionar este tema y saber si puedo forzar de alguna forma a que HP tenga ese programa para mi impresora y el iMac.
Muchas gracias

Are you able to print a self test page from the printer?
Is this error message on the printer or the computer?
You can run the print and scan doctor and check the results.

HP Deskjet 6540 drivers for Windows 7

We have recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7. We have followed all of the instructions on disconnecting and reconnecting the usb cables and trying to let Windows 7 detect and install the drivers but no success. We tried installing the Windows updates and that did not solve the problem either. Finally, we went into the devices & printers and add printer, and select HP but there are no drivers for the 6500 series. We even inserted the Windows 7 disk and clicked on "HAVE DISK" and tried to find it on the Windows 7 but nothing. Has any gotten this to install correctly or is there somewhere I can just download the drivers for this printer for Windows 7?

I am having a really hard time with my printer since I started using my new laptop with WIN7. Its frustrating to say the least. HP Deskjet 6540 is such classical printer with the highest ink efficiency so far but if HP can't resolve this single crisis, the I'm ashamed they've lost one customer.
What exactly is the issue you are having? Did you install the Windows Update driver as I described above? Running the driver install wazard at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

How can I get my HP DeskJet 6540 to recognize the new ink cartridges I installed?

Hi everyone. I have an HP DeskJet 6540 printer and I replaced the ink cartridges. After I replaced the cartridges, I aligned them and then did a test print. I noticed that the blank ink didn't print. I opened system preferences, and then I opened the printer utility. It says, "Device Status : Pen Failure." Current Supplies Levels says, "The current levels for the selected printer are shown below...Cartridge on the left (tri-color 97) is unknown and the the cartridge on the right (black 96) is missing." Oh, I forgot to mention that the print cartridge light on the left side is flashing. I went to the HP support website and it says that the problem could be an incorrect print cartridge, incompatible print cartridge, or problem with the (left/right) print cartridge. The solution they offered was to remove, inspect and reseat the problem cartidge. It also said to clean the problem cartridge contacts. I did that and it still gives me the same results. I even reset the printer but still got the same results...
So the next thing I try is the OTHER cartridges listed as compatible with my printer which is 94 (black) and 95 (tri-color). I bought the new cartridges, placed them in the printer and I still got the same message from the print utility. I took the latter cartridges back and got a refund and explained that none of the compatible cartridges are working with my printer. I kept the 96 and 97 cartridges in the printer and the light on the left continues to flash so now I'm here asking if anyone knows how I can get my printer to recognize the new ink cartridges I installed? Are there any other solutions that I have besides throwing the printer out of the window? :-)
Thanks everyone ;-)

With all that you have done it does sound like the printer has a fault. If you haven't tried turning off the printer for several minutes, then this would be worth trying (maybe you have done this when you say reset the printer?).
If the cartridge light on the printer flashes when you turn the printer back on then it sounds like a hardware fault - not the driver or the operating system. And this is not usually something a user can resolve so it would need repair. And for the cost of a new printer, why would you bother.
If you plan of sticking with HP and getting another model that can use the 96 & 97 cartridges (let's face it, they often cost more than the new printer), then take the two existing cartridges to the store and see if they will let you check they are okay. No point throwing them out also if they still have a fair bit of ink still in them.

Windows 7 Drivers Needed for Deskjet 6540

Hello,
We use 2 Deskjet 6540's @ my office. I have the windows 7 RC, and cannot get it to load drivers for the printers. I download the vista driver, and it says This driver is not for windows 7.and does not give me a "so what" option.
any help would be appreciated.
Keith

As of today Sept 16, 2011 the printer drivers from windows 7 work. It still requires some effort.
1) let the printer install (if it is already and the following steps do not work remove the device and let it reinstall)
2) right click on the printer in "Devices and Printers"
3) select "Printer Properties"
4) go to the "Device Setting" tab in the top row in the middle
5) under "installable options" click after the duplexer options and select "installed" from the drop down menu
6) click "OK"
I take no responsibility it this does not work for you, it work for me on Window 7 SP1

HP Deskjet 6540 networked on XP, problems accessing from Leopard

This is a strange one. I have a Deskjet 6540, if I connect it directly to my Mac using USB it is recognised beautifully, complete with a nice icon.
However, this printer is usually connected to my Windows machine, I can browse to the Windows printer share in System Preferences Print & Fax without any problems.
The printer isn't recognised though so I have to select 'Select a driver to use...' in the 'Print Using' list.
This would be great if the Deskjet 6540 or 6500 was listed, but it's not in the list. I know the driver is on my Mac because it works perfectly when connected directly via USB, but I need to share this printer from Windows.
I've also tried selecting 'Other' and then manually browsing through /Library/Printers/hp without any luck.
This worked in Tiger but using the Foomatic drivers. This is a clean isntall of Leopard so none of the original installation remains.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

You guys are under the mistaken impression that a driver is a driver is a driver. But on OS X, that isn't so. There are two types of driver, Carbon and CUPS. A CUPS driver (including all postscript printer drivers) is required to use the standard network printing protocols like IP printing and Windows Printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for their non-postcript printers. They provide Carbon drivers, which means the driver only works for the comm protocol that THEY programmed into it. HP drivers for USB printers are limited to USB.
Apple included Gutenprint drivers (which are CUPS drivers) on OS X because they know abut this issue. If your printer isn't supported by Gutenprint, you can look into other CUPS drivers here:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
This issue has been covered hundreds of times here. Find more by searching for "CUPS network."

Deskjet 6540 - New cartridge install problem

I am trying to install an HP Black Print Cartridge No 96 in the right slot but my Deskjet 6540 printer will not recognize or update properly. What could be the problem?

Hello,
Aligning the cartridges ensures high-quality output, The HP All-in-One prompts you to align the cartridges every time you install a new cartridge. I am sorry there is no way to turn that feature off.

Re: HP Deskjet 6540 drivers for Windows 7

I am trying to install the hp6540 onto my computer that uses windows 7. When I hooked up the printer it did not automatically install. I went to add printer, and it is not listed as an option to install. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.

The driver is delivered through Widows Update. In Windows 7 click Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, local Printer, select the port, probably USB00n:, then click Windows Update. It will take several minutes for the update to complete, after it does the Deskjet 6500 series printer should be an available selection.

Deskjet 6540 false carriage stall

My Deskjet is flashing the power and resume buttons. I've tried everything in support online and still, they flash! There is nothing stuck in the printer. The print carriage had stalled on the left end of the printer, but I just gently pushed it the rest of the way to the end of the line and that allowed it to get back to the proper right-hand side of the printer alignment. But, still the lights flash. The toner light is not on, so I don't think it needs toner, but I don't know for sure. I've restarted the computer, the printer, taken out the toner cartirdges >carefully< held both buttons in, held one button in one at a time...?
Help!

@ MMG635 - To add to the video provided above, there is also a document for this issue located here.
If the steps do not resolve the issue, then you may want to replace this unit because it has developed a hardware problem. If you are still in warranty, HP may replace the printer at no cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

Problem printing envelopes with HP Deskjet 6540

Printer is about 6 years old, and to print addresses on envelopes, I always had to push the blinking yellow-arrow button to restart the print job after getting a message that the paper was the wrong size. This worked until recently, and now the printer won't print the envelope at all.
I checked the print set-up in PrintMaster (where the print job originated), and the correct envelope size was entered in inches. The size of the envelope that is entered in the print job queue in the HP folder, however, is given in kb's. Is this the problem? Any ideas of how to fix this "wrong size" issue?

I too encounter the problem requiring pushing the yellow arrow button and having my #10 envelope jam. I read in the HP support document to try tucking in the flap of the envelope. After doing this I still find that I have to hit the yellow arrow, but this time the envelope actually printed. g

Printing Adobe Reader files with a DeskJet 6540 and OS X.6

Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X.6, I've had problems printing .pdf files. No matter what I teil the printer, it only prints one copy of one page of the document. I've upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2.0. Is this a driver problem? OS X.6 is supposed to take care of that. Adobe Reader is the only software that causes this problem, and of course Adobe does not provide support. Any ideas?

Hi There...I'm having the same problem, although I'm using XP Pro with Service Pack 3 and an OfficeJet 6500 , e709n ...and
it was working until this past couple of weeks. I can't print ANY PDF, doesn't matter if it's old or new... If I "do" a preview, all I see is a line of print across the top of the page.
Anything else will print other than PDF's, so of course it's driving me nuts! I've even reinstalled the driver for the printer; but it didn't make any difference except for my time and frustration. I hope someone can give us an answer soon...there are important docs I need to print out.

How do I find the # of pages printed on a HP Deskjet 6540?

I am using a Mac but I could also hook the printer up to a PC if necessary.
This question was solved.

Hello mobiley,
A test page should be printed in order to know "Total Pages Printed".
Perform the below steps on the printer ...
Press and hold Power, press Cancel once, release Power
Refer to Serial No 21 "PG" which gives the value of Page count .

Print from iPad2 to HP Deskjet 6450 via ePrint?

Can I print from my iPad2 to HP Deskjet 6450 via ePrint? If not, any app can do such task?

Hi,
The ePrint feature is supported by the latest HP Network products only.
As well, the HP ePrint Home & Biz App is supported by wider range of network printers.
Unfortunately, any of those features require a network printer, and your specific printer model is not supported by any of the cloud features.
You may check the App store for any 3rd party App who may provide you some printer sharing features by using your PC as a bridge,
As well, you may check Google Cloud Print which may provide you some limited print capabilities by using the PrintCentral Pro App.
I assume you are referring the HP Deskjet 6540 printer which provide usb connectivity only,
There are some USB printers supported by the discontinued HP iPrint Photo App (By using Apple Base Router only) however the specific model is not supported.
Hope you find the information helpful,
Shlomi

HP deskjet driver for AMD64 Chip - where do I find ???

How-are-ya.
I'm having awful problems getting my bog standard HP deskjet 3420 running on my new sysytem.
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0 GHz on a MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition S754.
I keep getting the following message:
"System Error - The document cannot be printed do to a system error - Try printing again. If Unsuccessful restart windows # try again"
I have reinstalled the drivers 3 times (2 different versions from HP Full & Basic)
I have cleared the registry in between.
I have used the Auto update from MSI to install the latest BIOS & Drivers.
All to no avail. & the printer works fine on another machine.
I have noticed the following.:
In XP: Go to 'Printers & Faxes' & view the properties of the 'hp deskjet 3420' printer.
In the sharing tab click 'additional drivers'.
On my machine the greyed default in 'Intel-XP-yes'.
But this machine is running an AMD64 chip & the drivers are not installed
has anyone come across this problem

The Deskjet 5550 or Deskjet 6540 drivers should be compatible with the Photosmart 7550.
