What software to print pictures (&"xç) ?

[Delecole]

Hi there,

Is there still an official picture software from HP allowing to print like 13x9 pictures on photo paper for example ?

In the past there was an HP soft, but I can not find it anymore.

Many Thanks !!

You might be referring to HP Photo Creations software. 

Unfortunately, after ten years of service, the software was retired in late 2019.

What else?

This printer does not handle a single sheet size of 13x19 inches

HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer Specifications

That said, after having installed the Full Feature Software, you can print an image on more than one sheet of paper at the size you like.

Reference: HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers

Two methods that do not require an alternative print driver:

• Word > Insert Image > Save as PDF > Print as PDF on multiple sheets
• Irfanview software > Convert large image to PDF > Print as PDF on multiple sheets

Create Word document > Insert photo > Save and Print as PDF

Open Word > Open / Create a blank document.

In Layout, set the Page size to the largest paper size your printer supports (standard paper size for your region)

In Layout, set the Orientation to Landscape

In Layout, set the Margins to the smallest supported by the printer (see your printer's Specifications or the printer's driver)

Insert (not copy/paste) the image file into the document

Adjust the location and size to the maximum allowed by the margins, page size, and orientation

Save the file so you have a copy of the data

Next, use Save-As > save the file as a PDF file

Irfanview - Photo Editing / Printing / Managing Software

The following is completely optional - works - and is free.

The setup may take some work - you need to make some decisions along the way - and the "plugins" to complete this task must be installed after the main software.

Irfanview > Free

 Irfanview provides a free program that can be used for a variety of scan and print tasks, including the “Mirror” or horizontal flip function.

• Create a Restore Point (optional, recommended)
• Download the appropriate version (32bit or 64bit) of the program from the Website and install the program
• Additional information at the website, including:  FAQ

Once installed, open the software > tab Help

Example help entry:

Vertical/Horizontal Flip

• Click on the Image Menu, then Vertical Flip. The image will turn upside-down. The left/right orientation will stay the same.
• Click on the Image Menu, then Horizontal Flip. The image will turn side-to-side, as in a mirror.

Note: The effect can be used on a smaller portion (rectangle selection) of an image, as well as the entire image.

NOTES

Both 32bit and 64bit versions are available.

For example,

Irfanview 64bit version – Information and Download

>>> Software and All Plugins for 64bit version:  https://www.fosshub.com/IrfanView.html

Includes Plugin for creating Multiple-page PDF files for images (Poster or large paper printing)

Download and Install the main Irfanview software

If you have opened the software to use / view it, close the software

Download and Install the Plugin package

Open Irfanview

Options > Multipage Images > Create Multipage PDF (Plugin)

Find and add your downloaded / saved image file (.jpg)

If desired, change / edit the destination folder

Click to create the PDF file

Example

Print using Adobe Reader DC

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

Adobe Reader DC - Print PDF - Poster

Open the new PDF file in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the Print icon

In Page Size and Handling > Select "Poster"

Adjust the Tile Scale (normally 100%) and the Overlap settings

Check the Properties box (top center of the menu) to make sure you are using the type and size of paper you expect / want.

For example, to print on your "everyday" paper, select a shortcut for "Everyday printing" - no duplex.

Reminder:

This type of print is not going to be borderless even if your printer normally supports borderless printing.

Thanks a lot for the detailed information ... I still need to try Ifranview !

I was able to print 4x6 inch (That is 10x13 cm) Pictures from the "Apercu" on MAcOs,, without borders, that is a good start !

I was also just looking how to print standard passport (like 8 times) pictures on my 10x13 cm photo paper ... the old HP soft was able to do it just by selecting the top oof out out I wanted (passport photos on 10x13 cm paper, ...)

Many thanks !

You are welcome.

I cannot help with Mac OS software of any kind.

Honestly, I never checked - the Irfanview software may - or may not - be available on MacOS.

My error for having made assumptions after you did not include your Operating System / version.
