The most important factors:

  • Printer must be clean and ready to Print >  Color or Black Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues
  • Printer must support the photo paper type, size, and paper weight.
  • Printer must be aware of the the paper loaded in the tray.
  • Preferences / Properties / job setup must be selected, including the Source for printers having more than one tray

Related:

  • The printer software (full driver) should be installed.

Manage Paper Selection and Setup

 

First,

Check that the printer supports the paper type, size, and weight.

 

Next,

Load the paper according to the instructions in the  User Guide

 

Next,

If applicable, check the Advanced section (at the bottom of the Tray and Paper Management menu)

Click Apply to save changes

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

 

  • Home Page - HP Easy Start 
  • Open Category Software and Drivers 
  • Topic: Software-Utility 
  • Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
  • If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
  • If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

 

  1. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).

 

  1. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.

 

  1. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.

 

  1. Full driver provides print and scan functions supported by your printer.
