Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

The short answer

 

You need software that knows how to create Poster pieces (tiles) for the printer.

 

Longer Explanation

 

Poster printing is a specialty operation and job type.

 

The printer is not aware of what it is printing.

 

By the time the printer gets the [romrequest, the configuration to create the job must be completed.

 

The printer translates the received content into printer language and expresses the results as print on paper.

 

Installing the HP full driver printer software provides a foundation that supports installing and using additional software and applications, including those programs and applications that are capable of providing features and options not available in the HP software.

 

 

==============================

Printer Software - Full Feature Software

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

If the software is already installed and you want to "reinstall":

Uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

Check that all the pieces of the printer software have been removed - if anything is deleted, Restart computer and log in

 

Next,

Download, Save, (then) Install new copy of the printer software

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

>>  Install HP Universal Scan Software - Model Dependent 

 

  • Download / Save / Install  HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software 
  • HPUS adds OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software. 
  • HPUS installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.
  • Note:  HPUS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in
