OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All in One Series
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I just bought a new 'OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All in One Series' printer for the only reason that I need to print 11 x 17 docs but I cannot get 11 x 17 docs to print from a flash drive, the flatbed, or from a connected computer.

1) Is it not possible to print 11 x 17 from the flash drive? It seems to only receive docs as 'small photos' and that's it.

2) If printing from the flatbed, the only option on the display shows '8.5 x 11' in tray 2 when it's  actually11 x 17 paper in tray two. I factory reset the printer and it still will not verify 11 x 17 paper is in tray 2. No matter what, 11 x 17 is the only option. It seems the printer should be able to print 11 x 17 without being connected to a computer. Is that not possible? 

3) The HP software on the computer also does not show any option for 11 x 17, only 8.5 x 11.

There's a typo in Point 2. It should read: No matter what, 8.5 x 11 is the only option.

Hi,

For a Flash drive, you can only print photos, the printer cannot print documents directly from a flash drive.

 

For printing and scanning from a computer, be sure to install the HP Basic or Full Feature software by following HP Easy Start below:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/COL56399/HPEasyStart_12_2_5163_01.exe

For scanning, from the HP Scan software change the source to Flatbed Glass and then  you may select A3 size, not when setting the source to Document Feeder (If Loaded).
