HP DeskJet 2721 All-in-One Printer

HP Deskjet 2700 - print via HP smart suddenly very small - can not change settings.
I had no issues before - it suddenly changed to a small print in the upper left corner
A4 is not listed in the settings
it mentions 5x7 inch
When I change it, I can only choose ISO A4, but when I choose it, same happens. And when I look again in the settings, all is set back to the 5x7 again. 
Tried evrything. 
More options: adjust o page. etc.  - not working

Hi @ErnstAmsterdam,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating printing issue on your HP Deskjet 2700. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the problem:

Step 1: Check Printer Settings

  1. Open HP Smart App: Launch the HP Smart app on your device.
  2. Select Your Printer: Click on your Deskjet 2700.
  3. Access Print Settings: When you go to print, check the settings.
    • Ensure that the paper size is set to A4.
    • Look for any options related to scaling or fit to page. Set it to Actual Size or Fit to Page.

Step 2: Check Document Settings

  • Make sure that the document you are trying to print is set to A4 in your application (Word, PDF viewer, etc.).
  • Check the print settings within the application you are using as well.

Step 3: Update or Reinstall HP Smart

  1. Update HP Smart: Check if there’s an update available for the HP Smart app.
  2. Reinstall the App: Uninstall the HP Smart app and reinstall it from the app store.

Step 4: Update Printer Drivers

  1. Go to HP’s Website: Visit the HP support site.
  2. Download Drivers: Search for your printer model and download the latest drivers.

Step 5: Reset Printing System (Mac Only)

If you're using a Mac, you can reset the printing system:

  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Select Printers & Scanners.
  3. Right-click (or Control-click) on the printer list and select “Reset printing system.”
  4. Re-add the Printer: After resetting, re-add your Deskjet 2700.

Step 6: Test a Different Application

  • Try printing from a different application to see if the problem persists. This will help determine if it's an app-specific issue.

Step 7: Perform a Printer Reset

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Unplug it from the power source for about 60 seconds.
  3. Plug it back in and turn it on.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
