How can I print multiple pictures on one sheet, 8-1/2 x 11, of photo paper.  I am using a brand new HP ENVY 7155 and my operating system is Window 10.

The Basics

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

This partially answered my question.  Can I not print multiple pictures of 3 1/2 x 5 size or wallet sized?  is 4x6 the smallest?  

This seems way more complicated then it should be, but it's probably just me as I am technology challanged.

Wallet size prints are available in Photo Creations software.

Not sure how to get a page full of 3.5x5 inches.

The formula appears to require that you start with one of the standard sizes available in the list (Image Size) - that size can be printed at the sizes available in Advanced Settings > Image Scaling

Examples

Starting image size of 4x6 inches can be printed at 50% (2x3 inches) or at 25% (1x1.5 inches)

Starting image size of 5x7 inches can be printed at 50% (2.5x3.5 inches) or at 25% (1.8x1.3 inches)

Download, save, and install

• HP Photo Creations for Windows and Mac

Open the program

Click Prints > Multi-up Prints > View All Multi-up Prints

Select the type of print you want, for example, Wallet - Multi-up Prints

Print my own

Add Photos...

Browse This Computer

Navigate to the folder in which you have saved your photos

Scroll the folder and add your photo

Repeat "Add Photos..." to add more photos

Set the Paper Size to match your paper (For example, scroll down to find "Letter" size for 8.5x11")

Set Image Size as 4x6  (or other starting size in the list)

Click Advanced Settings

Under Image Scaling

To print each image in the collection at 2x3", select 50%

To print each image in the collection at 1x1.5", select 25%

Select other / additional settings as desired.

Note that the software shows you what will print (Preview) -- if you don't like the proposed results, change one or more of the settings.

NOTE

Be aware that this method works for those photos that are the right Shape (aspect ratio) to fit within the confines of the image print size.  If your "starting photo" is square (for example), chopping it into a rectangle will likely result in a "funny looking" (chopped) print.
