Dell Drivers 5540

[Oreo Huppe]

Weimage 5540s on the regular. The key to imaging systems is to make sure the PXE environment has the latest Dell driver pack installed into the PXE boot image. After that it doesn't matter about drive RAID/AHCI settings. Should boot fine.

We are having the same issue with the same model. We have the appropriate drivers and have recached. I've tried Raid on and off, booting to integrated NIC and IPV4 with thunderbolt adapter (thunderbolt boot enabled), the best i can do with Raid off is get to the point where it is unable to ping the appliance says check DHCP options or network drivers. This is via USB thunderbolt.

Even though I am comparing 2 different drives here, I did the same comparison on the exact same 256GB M.2 drive that came with a laptop, and got similar results - 5540 got a 20% slower score. In all other tests 5540 is scoring higher than 5520, but this drive issue got me puzzled.

I am planning to call Dell but I am guessing there won't be much help from them. I'll probably try to contact Samsungbut based on the face that I used different drive altogether as well and still got similar results I am guessingthis is not their problem.

Update: I ended up talking to Samsung, and they also found it odd the results. Their response was this problem is with a driver controller- maybe just the way it's designed. Dell is replacing the laptop thinking this may be a faulty motherboard. In the mean time, I got both my laptops with the same drive Samsung 960 Pro 1tb so I can do a better side by side comparisons. What I have noticed is in 5520 the perf results are pretty consistent, where as in 5540 they are all over the place. The first time I installed OS with all the drivers on 5540 on this new drive, I got:

Talking to Samsung they were puzzled with the inconsistency of the results. For example, sequential write is at pretty much 100% of drive capability, but Random Write is at 50%. And in the first result, sequential write is also close to 100%, but sequential read is at 60%.

But again, Samsung support did not bother to really do anything, other than advise me on contacting Dell about storage controller problems. They did indicate if the problem was with a driver or some other setting, performance I am seeing would be a lot worse than what I am seeing.

Update: Got a replacement laptop from Dell but the problem is still there - the biggest problem is random writes performance. This maybe a design flaw - waiting for Dell engineers to let me know what's next

Well, it turns out the reason for all the perf tests to be less than optimal was a power plan "Balanced" - the only one available to me in windows. Once I figured out how to show all other power plans and selected Ultimate the tests showed hard drive performing as advertised.

My HP ENVY 5540 printer won't print in color anymore. I cleaned the cartridges and the ink levels are okay. I have looked and looked for an area that has a selection for "Print in grayscale" but cannot find one anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think there was a device update to the HP 5540 printer last week. Is it possible that this is the issue? My computer is an HP Envy which is the computer that received the device update. I can still print in color from a Mac in my house, but not from my HP.

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP ENVY 5540 printer. I understand that your printer is not printing in color and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting.

4.- Cuando te salga el asistente de agregar impresora, elige HP en la ventana de la izquierda y Deskjet F4200 series en la ventana de la derecha. Si no te aparece, pulsa en el botn "Windows Update". Tardar bastante en bajar, pero finalmente aparecern el resto de drivers.
