If the printer is new,

  • If you have installed the Full Feature Software for the printer,

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4720 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers

 

  • If the paper is acceptable to the printer (quality, weight, paper size),

Printer Specifications for HP DeskJet 3630, 4720 Printers > Paper Handling

 

  • If the paper is correctly loaded into the printer,

User Guide > starting on Page 15

 

  • If the Test pages print and are complete / correct,

 Printing Self-Test Pages

 

THEN

That leaves at least the following to double-check / consider

 

  • The Driver settings  (print settings for the current job) are incomplete / misconfigured (tiny yellow triangle of doom)
  • The software you are using to view / edit the photo / image is not fully compatible with the print software / settings

How to Print Photos (Windows)

Print Driver Settings Guide (Windows)

 

  • Related to configuration issues

Use a software that helps eliminate errors by helping you set up your print project.

NOTES

  1. Requires the Full Feature Software to have been (already) installed.
  2. Works with Windows or Mac

Download, Save, and install:

HP Photo Creations

 

After the software is installed:

 

Click Start (windows key) > all apps > scroll the list 

Open Category HP

Find the HP Photo Creations application

Right-Click on the application and PIN to Start

 

HP Photo Creations Support & Tips

 

 

  • The paper, in spite of being "correct" is not actually acceptable.

 If you have not done so, consider trying  HP Advanced Photo Paper

 

  • The size of your photo paper is not a standard, supported size.

 Creating Custom Paper Sizes

 

Custom Form

 

  1. Availability depends on printer model and software and Operating System / Version.
  2. If the feature is supported the Custom Setup will be available in Devices and Printers OR in Printer Preferences.

 

 

  • Devices and Printers > Print Server Properties

OR

  • Printer Preferences > Print Dialog > Paper / Quality > Custom setting

 

 

Example 1

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers >

Left-Click on your Printer one time to highlight >

Left-Click Print Server Properties (along the top ribbon)

 

GENERAL Example - this sample shows how to create a new custom Index card from an existing form.

Custom_Form_Index_Card_6x8Custom_Form_Index_Card_6x8

Example 2

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers >

Right-Click on your Printer > If necessary, select printer from drop down menu / list

Printing Preferences > tab Paper/Quality > Custom

 

General example - Not all printers / printer software supports Custom in the Paper / Quality tab setup

Printing_Preferences_Quality-Paper_Custom_1Printing_Preferences_Quality-Paper_Custom_1

 

Depending on Printer Model / Software, changing the paper in the tray may require that the paper settings be adjusted on the printer control panel.  (Not all printers support this feature.)

 

  1. Open Tray > Change Paper > Check printer control panel: β€œModify” > select β€œCustom” > OK)
