What you do depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software for the printer.

Your Printer's last release of the full driver is dated 2015.

It might still work in the latest versions of Windows 10.

Software Installation information and download Web Page

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

Printer Software Check

Notes

If the full driver printer software is installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.

In addition, the installed software places two shortcut icons on the Desktop named for the printer.

Printer software not installed?

Download and save the installation package on your computer.

• If using USB, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer before starting the installation.  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (toward the end of the installation procedure).

• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using Easy Start > When asked, opt for "Full Driver" (exact wording might vary).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

NOTES

• For printer supporting OCR, be sure not to remove the option to install with the full driver.  OCR will be available as “Scan as Editable Text” in HP Scan (part of the full driver software).

• Both the HP Smart Application and the Full Feature Software can be installed on the same computer.
