What else?
Document "Print to Scale" at a selected size, including 100% of the original size, is available for supported Printers in Windows, MacOS, and possibly HPLIP (for Linux). Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software for the supported Operating System / version.
HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.

- If the file is already larger than the paper size, it will be divided into Tiled sheets needed to print the file
- Enter an "overlap" and whether you want the "cut marks" included
