@foxjohnsix, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

To print wallet-size color photos (typically 2.5" x 3.5") on your HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 using Windows 11, follow these steps:

Prepare the Photo(s)

1. Use a photo editing tool (like Microsoft Photos, Paint, or even Word) to ensure your photo is correctly cropped/resized to wallet size.
2. If you're printing multiple wallet-sized photos on one page, create a layout (e.g., in Word or PowerPoint) that fits multiple 2.5" x 3.5" images on a single 4"x6", 5"x7", or 8.5"x11" paper.

Steps to Print Wallet Size via HP Smart or Windows Photos

Option 1: Using Windows Photos App

• Right-click your photo and select Open with > Photos.
• Click the Print icon or press Ctrl + P.
• In the Print window: 
  Printer: Select HP OfficeJet Pro 7740.
  Paper size: Choose your loaded paper (e.g., 4x6 in, 5x7 in, or Letter).
  Photo size: Choose Wallet (9x13 cm) or Custom.
  Fit/Fill: Select Shrink to fit or Fit to maintain proportions.
• Load the appropriate photo paper (preferably in Tray 1) and set the type to Photo Paper in printer settings.
• Click Print.

Option 2: Using Microsoft Word for Custom Layout

1. Open Word, go to Insert > Pictures, and add your photo.
2. Resize the image to 2.5” x 3.5” (right-click > Size and Position).
3. Copy-paste to fit multiple photos on a single page.
4. Go to File > Print.
5. Select: 
   Printer: HP OfficeJet Pro 7740
   Paper type and size
6. Click Print.

Tips for Best Results

• Use HP Advanced Photo Paper for best color output.
• Set Print Quality to Best in the printer properties.
• Load photo paper face-down in Tray 1 (with glossy side facing down and short edge first).

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
