Hi @Tamara1959,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

To print a single business card using your HP OfficeJet Pro 7740, you can absolutely do it—though the printer doesn’t have a dedicated “business card” tray, you can still print on business card-sized paper or custom-sized cardstock using the manual feed (Tray 1).
 

Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Prepare Your Business Card Design

• Use software like Microsoft Word, Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Avery Design & Print.
• Set the page size to match a standard business card:
  3.5 x 2 inches (88.9 x 50.8 mm).

2. Load the Paper

• Use Tray 1 (manual feed) for custom sizes.
• Insert a single sheet of business card stock or a trimmed 3.5" x 2" card.
• Adjust the paper guides snugly to fit the card.

3. Set Custom Paper Size in Printer Settings

On Windows 11:

1. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
2. Right-click your HP 7740 > Printing Preferences.
3. Under Paper/Quality, click Custom.
4. Create a new size:
   • Name: Business Card
   • Width: 3.5 in
   • Height: 2 in
5. Save and select this size.

4. Print the Card

• In your design software, go to File > Print.
• Select your printer and the custom paper size.
• Choose Tray 1 as the paper source.
• Set print quality to Best for sharp text.
