"Landscape" printing, like many of the features used to print your images and documents, is not controlled by the printer itself; instead orientation (landscape / portrait / rotation / mirror) is controlled by the software or application you are using to view and submit the job to the printer.
If you have already installed the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software, skip this next section.
If you have not done so,
In addition to the HP Smart application,
Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software for the printer.
HP Smart and other print software / applications benefit from having the full driver installed.
Printer Software Check
Notes
If the full driver printer software is installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.
In addition, the installed software places two shortcut icons on the Desktop named for the printer.

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software
For printers that support the option,
Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.
- Home Page - HP Easy Start
- Open Category Software and Drivers
- Topic: Software-Utility
- Download-and-Save the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software
- If using USB: Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.
- Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
- Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
- If using USB: Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
- After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.
Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey
- Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
- 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 or other application).
- You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
- If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription. Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
- Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.

Printing Preferences / Shortcuts
Part of the Full Feature Software...
Printing Preferences provides access to many features supported in the printer.
For example, "Orientation" is located (in some printer software) in Tab Layout
Printing Preferences are used with the software / application used to view and submit the job to the printer.
Depending on the software / application used, Printing Preferences might be called Preferences, Properties, More Settings, or similar.
Example - Printing Preferences

========================================================================
HP Smart - Windows - Print Orientation
HP Smart can make use of printer features after having installed the full driver printer software.
For example, in More Settings , select the Shortcut that includes the setup for the current print job.
Shortcuts are part of the Printing Preferences setup.
Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print
Reminder - Not all printers support Borderless Printing.
