Hi @tjon1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP ENVY 5540 All-in-One Printer won't print, try the following troubleshooting steps.
Check Printer Status:
- Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your computer or network.
Check Ink Levels:
- Verify that the ink cartridges are not empty or dried out. Replace them if necessary.
Check Paper:
- Ensure there is paper loaded in the tray and that it is not jammed.
Restart Devices:
- Restart your printer and computer to resolve any temporary issues.
Check for Error Messages:
- Look at the printer's display panel for any error messages or alerts.
Update Drivers:
- Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. You can download them from the HP website.
Set Default Printer:
- Make sure your HP ENVY 5540 is set as the default printer on your computer.
Run HP Print and Scan Doctor:
- Use HP's diagnostic tool, HP Print and Scan Doctor, to identify and resolve printing issues.

Check Connectivity:
- If you're using a wireless connection, ensure that the printer is connected to the same network as your computer. If using a USB connection, ensure the cable is properly connected.
Clear Print Queue:
- Check and clear any stuck print jobs in the print queue on your computer.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source for 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
Check Printer Settings:
- Make sure the printer is not in "Offline" mode and that the correct printer settings are selected.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
