My Envy 7640 will not take continuous feed paper to print a banner. (My previous HP printers would.) I see no place in the printer dialog or set up to select banner style. (Used to set on 0 tile overlap and then use continuous feed paper for a seamless, no Scotch tape required product.) Is this a removed feature or user error?

Welcome to the HP User Community.
I am not sure the Banner Paper Size / Type is "removed" - banner printing is perhaps a specialty feature.
This printer documentation does not seem to include any indication that the printer supports Banner paper / printing.
I found an old (emphasis on old) document that mentions a few printers that supported banner paper.

Hi,
Generally, banner printing was available with older HP printers and no longer available on consumer printer for a long time, such capability was not offered by any HP printer manufactured after 2010, such can be done with 3rd party software as Microsoft Publisher and not by an HP printer driver.

Agreed - I'd not found anything more recent to suggest otherwise.
The Publisher method to create the banner file are easy to use - the basics are built right into the tool.
Not at all sure it could be printed - I do not have any "banner" paper to test.
Interesting.

No point, I guess.
Too bad. It would be cool to be able to print large banners and drawings without the taping and such.
If you decide to do so,
Try / Consider the "Poster" method using Adobe Reader DC.
Yes, this method does require that the project sheets be taped together to create the finished product.
Print as Poster
Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC
Click the Print icon
Open Properties
Set Shortcut to Everyday Printing or similar (Plain paper printing, single sided)
Select your Paper Size
Click OK to save change(s) and Exit the Properties menu
Main print menu
Page Sizing & Handling > Poster
If the file is smaller than the paper size and you need it larger, increase the Tile Size
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
When ready, click to Print

Hi,
When you select a Banner template from Publisher and design your banner, then click File > Print and ensure the Source paper is set as the actual used paper size, Publisher will do the work and split the banner into multiple pages.
When you create the document select a Built-In template and tehre you may find Banners templates:
As an example, here is a banner I created on Publisher and its print preview on an A4 paper, it does the job and split the paper into multiple papers:
You may also review below support document from Microsoft which explains about its usage for Banners, Poster printing, etc.:

Sure, that works, too. 😎 Good Information.
Looks similar to the Adobe method - nice that the method is built-in.
I'm not as familiar with Publisher - I only use it occasionally and did not check the finish / Print details this time.
