Photo Printing on HP Officejet Pro 8610

[miaj3]

How do I configure printer settings so I can print different size pictures (for example 3x5 or 5x7 or 8x10)?

Also, how can I specify to print a specific number of photos per page, etc?

The only options I have when I print, is to change the scale, and even then, it will only print one photo per page.

Hi @miaj3,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that you are wondering how to do photo printing with your HP Officejet Pro 8610 printer. I am happy to help! 

Please see this guide, Creating Custom Paper Sizes. This will show you how to set the custom paper size. 

Here are the supported photo paper sizes for this printer: 

 NOTE:

Load photo paper in Tray 1 only.

Paper type	Paper size
Letter-sized photo paper	216 x 280 mm (8.5 x 11.0 inches)
A4-sized photo paper	210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches)
Photo paper	76.2 x 127 mm (3.0 x 5.0 inches)
Photo paper	102 x 152 mm (4.0 x 6.0 inches)
Photo paper	102 x 152 mm (4.0 x 12.0 inches)
Photo paper	127 x 177.8 mm (5.0 x 7.0 inches)
Photo paper	203 x 254 mm (8.0 x 10.0 inches)
Photo L photo paper	89 x 127 mm (3.5 x 5.0 inches)
Photo 2L photo paper	127 x 178 mm (5.0 x 7.0 inches)
Borderless photo paper	102 x 152 mm (4.0 x 6.0 inches)
Borderless photo paper	127 x 178 mm (5.0 x 7.0 inches)
Borderless photo paper	203 x 254 mm (8.0 x 10.0 inches)
Borderless photo paper	216 x 280 mm (8.5 x 11 inches)
Borderless photo paper	100 x 150 mm (3.9 x 5.9 inches)
Borderless photo paper	89 x 127 mm (3.5 x 5.0 inches)
Borderless photo paper	130 x 180 mm (5.1 x 7.1 inches)

* This size can be used for borderless printing.

If you want to print more than one photo on a page, you will need to use a a image editor, such as the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Or, as an alternative you can insert multiple images into a document file, such as MS Word. The free alternative to MS Word, would be LibreOffice. LibreOffice.

Both of these programs are free, but not MS Word. 

Hope this answers your questions, and have a nice day!

So what you're saying is, that unless I purchase pre-cut photo paper in the size I want to print (say, 4 x6) then the only way to print multiple 4x6 photos on one piece of paper is to use a program such as Word, etc, and cut/paste photos into a document?  (That's disappointing considering my prior printers have all allowed options to print multiple photos on one piece of 8.5x11 size photo paper.)

Hi miaj3,

That is correct. This printer can support the sizes and types of paper that I have listed above. And, you would need to use an Office Program, or an Image Editor to put multiple photos onto one page. Which, I have suggested some free options that are available. 

Hope this answers your question, and have a nice day!
