Hi @ARIES8343,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your HP DeskJet printer shows Error Code 2545 during reconnection. Let’s go through a few checks.

Reset the printer

Keep the printer powered on.

Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Wait 60 seconds.

Reconnect power directly to the wall outlet and turn the printer on.

Restore network settings

Turn the printer on.

Open Setup > Network Settings from the printer control panel.

Select Restore Network Settings.

Wait for the wireless light to blink.

Restart the printer.

Reconnect the printer

Open the HP app on your computer or mobile device.

Select Add Printer or Set Up Printer.

Choose the printer in setup mode.

Connect it to the Wi-Fi network.

Wait until the printer shows Ready status.

Check Wi-Fi connection

Confirm the router is powered on.

Ensure your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Move the printer closer to the router.

Restart the router.

Try setup again.

Note: Error Code 2545 typically appears when the printer cannot reconnect to the wireless network during setup.
