Print 6"x8" photos

[CHarrison]

I would like to print a 6"x8" photo, but there does not seem to be that size available on the photo size dropdown. How do I add other sizes, or is there a plugin available to expand the available photo sizes?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

Update - Add content for Tray and Paper

If not done,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

If the intent is to print the photo / image on 6x8 inch paper,

Create a Custom Paper Size form in the size of the paper.

If changing the paper size in the printer or the settings,

and / or

If using a Custom Size paper,

After the paper is loaded into the tray,

Alert the printer to the paper size & type - Tray and Paper

Assuming the full driver printer software is installed,

Consider using photo editing / photo printing software to print the photo on your paper at the size you want.

Example > Irfanview
