Hi @MIZLIBBYB ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble entering a dash (-) on your HP ENVY Photo 7800 printer's keyboard. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps:
- Check Keyboard Layout: Make sure you're using the correct keyboard layout. Sometimes, printers may have different keyboard layouts, so ensure you're using the correct one.
- Shift Key: Typically, the dash symbol "-" is located on the same key as the underscore "_" symbol but accessed by holding the Shift key. Ensure you're pressing the Shift key while pressing the key with the underscore symbol.
- Alternate Key: If the above doesn't work, try using an alternate method to input the dash. For example, some printers may have a separate symbol menu where you can select special characters. Check your printer's user manual for instructions on accessing this menu.
- Update Firmware: Ensure your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, firmware updates may address keyboard or input issues. Update the firmware on an HP printer
- Reset: If none of the above solutions work, try resetting your printer to its factory settings. This may resolve any software-related issues causing the keyboard problem. However, be aware that resetting your printer will erase any custom settings you've configured.
