Envy Photo 6220
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Borderless printing of photos works fine from the Android app. But I can not find borderless printing in the computer software. There is no such alternative in the printing dialog.

Is there a solution or download to fix this problem?

True - Borderless printing is supported.

 

Product Specifications for the HP ENVY Photo 6220 All-in-One Printer (K7G20D)

 

Yes - If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

 

Printer Software

HP ENVY Photo 6200 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories

 

 

If the printer software is already installed but not working...

Uninstall Existing Printer Software (Full Feature Software)

 

Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >

Find / Select > Uninstall the printer software

Restart the computer and log in

 

If software will not uninstall, appears to be removed and is “still hanging around” after you uninstall / Restart...

Microsoft:  Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

OR

Revo Uninstaller (Free version)

then

Restart the computer and log in

 

 

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

  • If using VPN, shut it off to install software
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start wrapper
  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • If using Easy Start > When asked, opt for "Full Driver" (exact wording might vary).
  • If using Easy Start > Skip any extra software / offers you do not want (wording varies).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

After the printer software is installed, look for shortcuts on the Desktop.
