Hi, I am new to this and a senior who has little knowledge about printers and such.  I would like to know if I can enlarge a copy with my HP DeskJet Plus 4100 printer and if it is possible, how to do it.

Thank you

It appears the only way to Resize the Copy is to use a supported mobile device (for example, iPhone / iPad) and use the camera to import the item to be "copied".

 

Reference / Explanation

If there is another way..

Possibly...

 

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Copy > Settings > Default SettingsCopy Defaults (wording can vary)

 

What else?

Scan the item > Save it to your computer > Open the file > Print in the size you want.

 

Preparation

 

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

If using USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable.

  HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software

 

  • Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

 

  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).

 

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Full driver provides print and scan functions (even if HP Smart proves to be stubborn).
