OfficeJet Pro 8020
macOS 11.0 Big Sur

When I print to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 on my MacBook or iMac, the options allow me to print all pages or a range of sequential pages—for example, from 7  to 75).  There is no option to print a custom range of pages—for example, if the document has 75 pages, to print 7-9, 11, 17, 23-30, 64-75.  With HP printers I owned previously, that option was available.

 

I believe that I have the most up-to-date software for both the printer and the Mac. Is there a way to print a custom range like the example above? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @LoisCA,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are trying to print selected pages in a document.

 

Follow the below steps to Print PDFs and images in Preview on Mac

 

In Preview, you can print some or all pages in a PDF, print several selected images on the same sheet of paper, and choose whether to include the document’s notes.

You can open and print a document with Preview even if you don’t have the app that created it.

 

  1. In the Preview app  on your Mac, open a PDF or image you want to print.

    If you want to print multiple files, you can open them in one Preview window.

  2. To print only some of the PDF or image pages, choose View > Thumbnails, then Command-click the thumbnails for the pages you want to print.

  3. Choose File > Print.

  4. Choose any of the following print options (if you can’t see them, click Show Details):

    • To print only selected thumbnails: Select Selected Pages in Sidebar or Selected Images in Sidebar.

    • To print the same image or page multiple times on a sheet of paper: Click the “Copies per page” pop-up menu, then choose a number.

    • To print multiple pages per sheet of paper: Click the Preview pop-up menu, then choose Layout. Choose the number of pages to appear on each printed page from the Pages per Sheet pop-up menu.

    • To rotate images or pages automatically so they fill up as much of the paper as possible: Choose Auto Rotate.

    • To scale an image or page: Select Scale, then enter a percentage.

      To fill as much of the paper as possible, select Scale to Fit, then select Print Entire Image if you don’t want the image cropped, or Fill Entire Paper if you want the image cropped to the proportions of the paper.

    • To include any notes that are visible in a PDF’s window: Select Show Notes to include them in the printout.

  5. Click Print.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
