Hello @bloop99uk, Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the HP printer.

 

We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and are glad we could help work toward a resolution. We hope our support has been valuable.

 

To help us get started on resolving your issue, could you please let me know the printer's name and the model number along with the network setup of the HP device so that I can assist you further?

 

Step 1: Open the Print System Dialog

  1. In Cricut Design Space, click Send to Printer.
  2. Enable “Use System Dialog” before selecting Print.
  3. Minimize the Cricut window to access your computer’s native printer settings behind it.

 

Step 2: Adjust Settings (Windows)

  1. Select your HP printer and open Preferences or Printer Properties.
  2. Go to the Paper/Quality or Layout tab.
  3. Locate options such as Scaling, Resize, or Layout Mode.
  4. Set scaling to Actual Size, Normal, or 100%.
  5. Turn off options like Shrink to Fit, Fit to Page, or Borderless to maintain accurate sizing.

 

Step 3: Adjust Settings (Mac)

  1. In the print dialog, click Show Details.
  2. From the dropdown (usually set to “Layout”), choose Paper Handling.
  3. Set scaling to 100%, or ensure Scale to fit paper size matches your selected paper (e.g., A4 or Letter).
  4. Confirm the Destination Paper Size matches your loaded paper, and enable Scale down only to prevent unintended enlargement.

 

Take care and have an amazing day! 

I'm an HP Employee.
