Welcome to the HP Community.

 

If you have not done so,

  • Check that the paper you are using is supported by the printer and in the tray you intend to use
  • Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software
  • After you load the paper into the printer, alert the printer to the paper size / paper type
  • Make sure the correct Shortcut , Source (tray) , and paper settings are adjusted for the current job within the application or software you are using to view and submit that job to the printer

 

Details / Examples

 

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

 

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

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

 

The full driver provides the foundation on which other programs and printing software depend.

 

Preparation - Printer Software

 

If you have not done so,

In addition to the HP Smart application,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software for the printer.

HP Smart and other print software / applications benefit from having the full driver installed.

 

Printer Software Check

 

Notes

If the full driver printer software is installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.

 

 

The installation of the printer software adds two shortcut icons to the Desktop.

The Printer Assistant is named for the printer and provides access to Print , Scan , and Tools

HP Scan is named for itself and provides a direct call to the HP Scan software.

Printer software not installed - OR - (still) installed but not working?

 

NOTE:  If the printer software shows installed but is not working as expected,

Uninstall the printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

Reminder:  If using USB, disconnect the USB printer cable between the printer and the computer before installing software.  (Re)Connect the USB cable when instructed to do so near the end of the installation procedure.

Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

Restart the computer and log in

 

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

 

  • Home Page - HP Easy Start 
  • Open Category Software and Drivers 
  • Topic: Software-Utility 
  • Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
  • If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • When asked, Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
  • If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

 

  1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
  2. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).
  3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
  4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
  5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.

 

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

 

Alert the printer to the paper size / paper type

 

EWS – Browser – Tray and Paper Management

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Click Apply to save changes

 

Example - Retain / Modify / Check Tray and Paper Management

Retain_Printing_Preferences_8Retain_Printing_Preferences_8

 

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

 

Printing Preferences / Shortcut

 

Where and how you set the Shortcut and other settings depends on

Printing Preferences

AND

The software / application you are using to view and submit the content to the printer (unknown) and the content type (unknown).

 

Set the Preferences – Windows

 

NOTES

  • This section is not applicable to Mobile Printing.
  • Access to the complete Printer Preferences requires having installed the Full Driver printer software.
  • Printing Preferences are available directly from the driver. 

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers

Right-Click on your printer > Printing Preferences

 

  • When called from within printing software / applications, Printing Preferences might be called "Printer Properties" / "Shortcuts" / “More Settings” / “Properties” or similar.

9025_Printing_Preferences_Everyday_39025_Printing_Preferences_Everyday_3

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print - 4x6 inch - Borderless
