Printing specific pages of a document

[frustrated98354]

Using my 8720 printer, when I attempt to enter specific pages to print following the format example provided the printer will not accept the entry.  What do I do to get this function to work?

Hi @frustrated98354,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

To print specific pages of a document using your HP 8720 printer, make sure to follow these general steps tailored for typical print setups:
 

Open the Document: Launch the document you wish to print in your application (e.g., Adobe Reader for PDFs, Microsoft Word for Word documents).

Access Print Dialog:
 

• For Windows: Click File > Print, or use the shortcut Ctrl + P.
• For macOS: Click File > Print, or use the shortcut Command + P.

Select Printer: Make sure your HP 8720 printer is selected in the printer dropdown menu.

Specify Pages to Print:
 

• Look for the option labeled either as "Pages" or "Page Range" in the print dialog box.
• Enter the page numbers you wish to print. Generally, the format should be:
  • Single pages (e.g., 1, 3, 5 to print pages 1, 3, and 5).
  • Range of pages (e.g., 2-4 to print pages 2, 3, and 4).
  • Combination (e.g., 1-2, 5, 7-8).

Check Document/Page Format:
 

• Ensure that the document does not have any settings or embedded formatting that might prevent custom page selections.
• Make sure the software you are using supports page Official HP® Support range printing.

Test Printer Setup:
 

• Check that the printer is correctly connected and recognized by your computer.
• Ensure that the printer drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the Official HP® Support specific to your printer model.

Additional Troubleshooting:
 

• If the print dialog doesn't accept your input, ensure the printer is not set to a default mode that restricts page selection (like 'Full Document' or 'All Pages').
• Restart both the printer and your computer to refresh their systems.
  
  
  I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
