Envy Photo 7134
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hey there!

I recently purchased an HP Envy Photo 7134 and I'm having some issues printing photos.

I used the Everyday Photo Glossy paper pack that came included (10x15cm), but when I try to print from the HP Smart app on my PC, the right side of the image gets 'cut off' and leaves a blank space on the photo - not ideal.


I have tried various settings in the app, but with no luck. This led me to try and print from outside the app, which works perfectly except for the fact that photos come out too red. Quality is better and the entire paper gets printed on, but I don't understand why the prints are too red.

 

When choosing paper type I choose HP Photo Paper, which I think might be the issue. In the app I had the option of choosing 'HP Everyday Glossy' as paper type, but this option is lost outside the app. Not really sure what to do at this point..

Welcome to the HP Community.

 

What the printer can do:

 Product Specifications for the HP ENVY Photo 7134 All-in-One Printer (Z3M48B)

 

Printer supports what you are doing, I think.

 

A couple of suggestions

  • Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

AND

  • Re-check the settings in the HP Smart Windows application

For example,

The printer accommodates Borderless printing - and should do so on 4x6 inch paper.

The Crop / Fit option might be changing the result.  (See example later in this message)

 

==============================================================================

The full driver provides the foundation on which other programs and printing software depend.

 

Preparation

 

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.

 

 

The installation of the printer software adds two shortcut icons to the Desktop.

The Printer Assistant is named for the printer and provides access to Print , Scan , and Tools

HP Scan is named for itself and provides a direct call to the HP Scan software.

Next...

Printer software not installed - OR - (still) installed but not working?

 

NOTE:  If the printer software shows installed but is not working as expected,

Uninstall the printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

Restart the computer and log in

Reminder:  If using USB, disconnect the USB printer cable between the printer and the computer before installing software.  (Re)Connect the USB cable when instructed to do so near the end of the installation procedure.

Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

Restart the computer and log in

 

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
  • When asked, 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

 

  1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
  5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.

Just FYI:  HP Smart supports Scan Photos > with an Import option so you can upload a previously saved image file and Edit that image before Share / Save / Print.  Nice feature.
