HP used to supply a software with printers which could do that very easy. Definitely you need a software to do that. Please try

And one more...

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

 

 

The documentation (Category Software and Drivers) indicates support for both the full driver printer software AND HP Smart (Windows).

 

If HP Smart is actually supported AND you are willing to sign into the application using your HP Account credentials,

HP Smart can print more than one photo on a single sheet of paper.

 

Note that HP Smart provides a basic "group and print" feature and does not include some of the fancier options found in some "collage" printing software.

 

Preparation

 

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

Your installation package here:

HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories

 

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

  • If using VPN, shut it off to install software
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software
  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • If using Easy Start > When asked, opt for "Full Driver" (exact wording might vary).

Next,

If you have not done so,

Install the HP Smart application.

 

HP Smart for Windows

 

HP Smart is an application available in the Microsoft Store

OR

Open the Homepage / Support Website for your printer

Category Software and Drivers > Check the Box Get the App

 

Open and Read >>> HP printer setup (HP Smart app)

 

NOTES: 

  • Disconnect from Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection before downloading.
  • Turn on Wi-Fi on your computer or mobile device and connect to your network. If the computer is connected to the network with an Ethernet cable, temporarily disconnect the cable and use the Wi-Fi connection during the setup.

 

  • HP Smart requires that you sign into the application using your HP Account credentials.

 

  • Where possible, HP Smart benefits (likes) having the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installed.  For example, full driver provides access to Shortcuts and Printing Preferences.

 

  • Document includes the HP Smart application download links for Windows and Mobile devices, plus an FAQ section to assist with questions / issues.
    •  FAQ examples: 
      • What are the requirements to use the HP Smart app?
      • Which printers are compatible with the HP Smart app?
      • Why do I need to sign in or create an account to use the HP Smart app features?
      • Which languages does the HP Smart app support?
    • Older versions of the HP Smart app no longer support the required login feature.
    • Update the application to the latest version to access / use HP Smart

 

 

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

 

Next,

The exact steps to further prepare the printer depend on the paper size and type.

The printer must be alerted when the paper size / type are changed.

Ask if you need help with setting the Paper Size / Type on the printer and / or adjusting the Printing Preferences - Shortcut

 

Next,

Use HP Smart to select and print your photos on your paper.

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print - Multiple photos per page
