I need to print my Christmas cards, but there is not A7 envelope paper size print option.  I have a HP Photosmart 7510.  What do I need to do to get the A7 envelope print option?

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Presumably, the printer supports the A7 paper size as a Custom Media Size.

 

Found in the Specifications

Media sizes, custom
3 x 5 to 8.5 x 30 in
 
I don't believe the "30 in" number --
I do believe the correct length number would include the length of an A7 envelope.
 
There is a possible "show stopper" limitation to creating a custom sized envelope --
The printer software is years old -- printer software of this vintage might not support Custom Paper Sizes in Windows.
 
What?!
If true, there is no workaround -- get some labels and print those - stick the printed labels on the envelopes and mail the cards on time...
 
The following information is provided "FYI" and in case it is applicable to your printer...
 
Start...
================================
Printer - Software
Assuming you have been using the printer and it is functional,
Check that the Full Feature Software is installed and working.
 

Details Page - Driver - For your Printer

>>> Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package - Information - Download / Save / Install  <<<

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in

 

==========================

 

The installation of the full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  

Printer Assistant 

HP Scan

 

>>> Open the Printer Assistant > tab Scan Manage Scan to Computer Enable

 

 

Example - Windows - Full Feature Software - Installed in Programs and Features

Printer - Custom Paper Size Form

 

The next limitation --
Does Windows support creating Custom Paper sizes?
Maybe -- the printer is old -- I have not run across the information that tells us one way or the other.
 
If your older Printer AND Windows (together)  support Custom Paper Sizes,
then 
Create the Custom Paper Size form.

If you get to the point where you can create the envelope,
You may do so using the tools (software / application) you have.
 
General Example - Word > Mailings > Envelopes - #10 envelope
