DeskJet 2540

I frequently print photos of book pages on my DeskJet 2540. Images printed directly from iPhoto are printed as 5x7, which is most inconvenient, as I regularly need these pages at full A4 size. 

Is there any place in iPhoto or the printer where I can designate the image size?

iPhoto has been retired for a number of years (at least in the USA).

If there is any current information for those who might still be using it, you'd best ask in the Apple Community.

 

What else?

 

Your printer supports HP Smart Mobile for iOS.

If your phone is running a compatible Operating System,

If your printer is on your network,

Consider using HP Smart Mobile for printing.

Oops. I missed the change in the app name. For years I’ve been referring to it by the wrong name!

 

“Photos” is the name of the app.
