Print is very small on my paper

[OOMENAATJE]

I set up my print for the whole sheet and it keeps coming out very small in the top left corner. I've tried everything but it's still small on the screen it fills the screen but not on the print

Welcome to the HP User Community.

How you print depends on the type of content you are printing and what you are using to view and submit the job to the printer.

Printer Application / Printer Software

There are two parts to this:

• HP Smart application - supports printing and scanning PDF and Photos / Images.  HP Smart is supported in many regions and on many newer networked printers - The app is available from the  Microsoft Store .  HP Smart requires that you sign in using your HP Account credentials.
• HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in programs (for example, Word), and access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver printer software includes HP Scan.  No Sign-in required.

When installed,

HP Smart is listed in Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

HP Smart is never listed in Programs and Features

When installed,

The Full Driver printer software is listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

And

The Full Driver printer software can also show up in Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

Example - Printer Software - Installed

General Printing

When printing is working as expected, the applications and software can be set up and adjusted as needed for the type of content.

General Example - HP Smart - Windows - Photo Print
