Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

You need "an app for that" --

The application must understand how to print to Scale, that is, some percentage of 100%.

 

Should you have a mobile device, check at your device's App Store.

 

OR

Relevant to a computer running a supported version of Windows...

 

  • Install the Full Driver printer software (and restart the computer) - Webpage link below in section Message Content References

 

  • Print Size seems a bit large for a Passport photo  - perhaps add a decimal

3.5 cm X 4.5 cm

1.4 in X 1.8 in (Imperial)

 

  • Select a supported Paper Size and Type for you little photo

 

  • Load the paper into the printer - User Guide - Starting on Page 15

 

  • Alert the printer to the Paper Size / Type - Tray and Paper  - Example - EWS_7855_Preferences_Tray_and_Paper_Management_All_5EWS_7855_Preferences_Tray_and_Paper_Management_All_5

 

  • Use an application / software that can print your image exactly at the size you want.

 

For example,

Irfanview (Free) - Windows -

 

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

The Basics >> Irfanview - Custom Print Size

 

Start Irfanview Software >

Find and Open file to be printed > File > Print

 

Printer Settings

Select the Printer (drop-down menu)

Select Orientation -- Portrait (or Landscape)

Click Printer Setup and select the paper size you are using

 

Print Size

Select Custom

Enter the print size Width and Height

Decide whether to include retaining Aspect Ratio

OR

Enter the "Scale" - percentage of 100%

 

Position on Paper

Enter margin information / Borderless (model dependent)

 

Units on Paper

Enter choices, including "overflow" (leave blank if unknown)

 

When ready, Click to Print

 

 

Example - Irfanview - Custom Print Size

Irfanview_Custom_Print_Size_5Irfanview_Custom_Print_Size_5

 

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