Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Product / Printer Model: HP Smart Tank 7301 All-in-One  

Operating System:  Windows 11

Software / Application:  ?

Connection Type:  ?

Content / File Type:  Scan PDF or Photo / Image

 

HP Document - How to Scan

 HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support

 

 

HP Smart -- particularly if you are using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) -- tends to put all the scanned pages into one document -- it is the "default" action.

 

In general, HP Smart scans "at size", though, you can optionally edit the boundaries after the scan and / or using the Edit > Crop feature.

 

Scan and Save the scanned content.

 

Print the content at whatever size you want it done.

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Print Photo at Pre-selected Size

HP_Smart_Win_Simple_Photo_Print_Letter_4x6_2HP_Smart_Win_Simple_Photo_Print_Letter_4x6_2

 

Example - Paint - Simple Poster Print

Paint_Print_Scale_Poster_300_1Paint_Print_Scale_Poster_300_1

 

Similar - Microsoft / Windows Photos

Example - Photos - Photo / Image Print - Select Size

Photos_Print_Letter-5x7_4Photos_Print_Letter-5x7_4

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next,

 

If you have the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installed, you can use a variety of applications of software to print your saved file at the size you want.

 

Example - Reader - Poster Check / Print - Basics

PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_2PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_2

 

Example - Reader - PDF Print - Main menu - Options

Windows

Printer - Full Feature Software

 

If you have not yet done so, install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

 

HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver generally adds at one, possibly least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and/or HP Scan.

 

NOTES:  

 

HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.

 

The Printer Assistant is not installed if the type of full driver software does not support it.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.

 

No Sign-in required to use full driver printer software.

 

Reinstalling?

 

  • Uninstall existing full driver printer software from Programs and Features.
  • If your printer includes a separate "help" in Programs and Features, uninstall that, too.
  • Restart the computer and log in.
  • If the printer is connected to the computer using a printer USB cable, remove / disconnect the cable before loading the software.

If / When asked, opt for the Full Driver / Full Software to be installed.

 

If using a printer USB cable, connect the cable when asked to do so, near the end of the installation process.

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in. 

 

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

Supported for your printer

HP Universal Scan Software –

NOTE:  Model and Operating System version Dependent

 

Note:  HP Universal Scan Software can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.

 

 HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software might add OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software. 

 

HP Universal Scan Software installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.

 

Reference: Open  HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software  > If needful, Choose a different OS > Open all > Find / Download / Save / Install HP Universal Scan – Full Feature Software and Driver Webpack.

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in. 

 

HP Universal Scan Software provides a larger GUI to make using the software easier on high-resolution screens.   New features have been added to the main menu to help with navigating the settings.

 

Reference

 HP printers - Scan as Editable Text (OCR) with HP Scan (Windows)

 

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

 

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.

 

 Note Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.

 

 

  • Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
  • HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
  • HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model
  • When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut

Or

HP Scan Assistant shortcut > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable
