How to change printed photos from PDF to JPEG?

[Terryhouse]

Hello. I want to print color photos, but the hp smart App always prints in black and white. fomart's default setting is PDF and all photos become "JPEG.PDF". I even changed the name of the photo to JPEG and saved it, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change the PDF setting to JPEG when I print them? My computer is a MacBook Air, Macos 12.4 Monterey, and the printer is a HP Deskjet 3720 All in one.Cheers.
