output print size envy 6052

[SomethingSweet]

When I print pictures I am only given a limited size to print out pictures. I would like to know how to change this and get the size I need.

The basics here:

•  How to Print Photos (Windows)

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

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

Full Driver / Full Feature Software does not require a sign-in to use the software.

Use this

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software 

• Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
• Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

Easy Start...

  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).

Any...

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Full driver provides print and scan functions (even if HP Smart proves to be stubborn).

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

Open, view, print the image / photo to be printed using software that lets you set the print size.

For example

Programs / Software like  Paint (mspaint) can be used to print photos.  Once the basics are understood, the program is fairly easy to use and will might even work in a user restricted environment.

Open your photo / image file in Paint

Open File > Print Preview > Page Setup

Select the paper size you are using (and is already set for the printer)

Select Source (Tray)

Select Orientation of your print on the paper

Your printer does not support borderless - adjust the margins to 0 (zero) and then let the margins reset

OR set all borders to .5 inches

Center the image horizontal and / or vertical (best to use both if you want "even" borders

Select the Scaling

Adjust to "some" percentage of 100 percent

OR

Fit to the paper

OK to save that setup and leave the Page Setup menu

Click to Print when ready

The following example includes a bit more information - ignore what is not relevant for your situation...
