Can't print 5x7 or 4x6 pictures on 5x7 or 4x6 paper. When that size is put in the printer, it says out of paper. It will print a 5x7 or 4x6 photo on 8x10 paper. I also notice that when I print from Windows Live Photo gallery (where my pictures are) on the right hand side it says full page photo (which I can't get rid of) despite the fact that I list the paper size as 4x6 or 5x7.

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out
As I understand you are unable to print 5x7 or 4x6 pictures,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Have you attempted to make necessary changes to the print settings?
If you haven't yet, please try the below steps:
Making the Printer print on 4x6 paper for single print job
- File→Print→Select respective Printer driver→Properties→Paper/Quality Tab
- Change the paper setting to 4 x 6 & Source to Photo Tray
- In case you wish to print on Borderless paper, Select Borderless Printing
- I would advise you use 4 x 6 photo papers with tabs to print borderless
- Is the image formatted before printing the 4 x 6 image on a 4 x 6 paper
- Does the customer use right paper for printing 4 x 6 with Tab / without Tab
- A single print job change in printer driver setting will not be saved once the application is reset.
- You may need to select it again
- And Make sure that correct paper and tray are selected in the print drivers.
Keep me posted,
