Envy Photo 7855
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Printer is an Envy Photo 7855.  Can I print documents, not photos, directly from a flash drive plugged into the USB port if the drive is encrypted?

Hi @Andyirv,

 

I'd like to help!

 

You can print a file on a USB memory connected to the machine directly without using the computer. When you select a password-protected PDF file, enter the password in the job status screen to begin printing.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thanks for the reply.  It's not the file that is encrypted, it's the flash drive itself.  When I plugged it into the printer's USB port I didn't see any prompt to enter a password.
