OfficeJet 7730 poor print quality at A3

[BGolds]

I bought this printer to print A3 drawings (from AutoCAD or pdf documents) and the quality is terrible, wont print colour and really pixilated lines. Prints perfect at A4, any ideas?

Hi @BGolds,

I'd like to help!

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

Meanwhile, Follow the below version of the HP Print and Scan Doctor Utility by selecting your printer:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/patches/HPPSdr.exe

Be sure to restart your PC and allow the utility to complete the process, then check for any difference. If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Install the printer using the TCP/IP port:

1. On the PC, go to Control panel > Devices and printers > Add a printer(at the top) 
2. Under 'Choose a device or printer', click on 'The printer I want isn't listed'.
3. Select 'Add a printer using a TCP/IP address'
4. Find the IP address of the printer by tapping on the wireless/ethernet icon on the printer screen
5. Type in the 'IP address in Hostname or IP address' box, click next
6. Proceed to the next steps by following the on-screen instructions.
7. Try printing in color.

If the issue persists, Install the printer using Windows built-in driver

Refer to this document to know how. Try printing.

To print PDF, refer to -Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader (Windows)

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thanks Jay_G24 typing in the IP address seems to have done the trick.

FYI I was printing from pdf and AutoCAD when it wasnt working but i can now do both with perfect print quality.

Thankyou!
