Hi Anthony99jr,

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see when you try to install your HP Deskjet 2540 to your computer running Windows 8 you get an 'Error 1722 Failed to add port monitor Hp Discovery Port Monitor' message.

Please try Disabling your firewall and running the installation to see if that allows you to install, if that does not work try a clean boot and re run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows it was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.

If you are still running into installation errors, continue here: HP Printers - A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation i...

Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.

I see you are running into the same problem, I understand you disabled your Firewalls but are still getting the error message.

What happened when you tried the clean boot and reinstalling the software and drivers?

What were the results when you completed the troubleshooting recommendations listed here: HP Printers - A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation i...

I look forward to hearing from you, leave me with the following information:

1. Which version of the Windows Operating system are you using?

2. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
