Searching for setting to fit to page when copying from computer.

[Bullmule]

When I scan from my HP Envy 5660 I can get an option to fit to page on the printer. When I print from my computer there isn't this option that I can find. I can only find Borderless printing in printer preferences shortcuts. Is there a way to set this when the print dialogue comes up when I select print on my computer? Thanks.

Welcome to the HP Community --

Printing Preferences does not control or save this exact setting in print job configuration.

The application / program you are using to print perhaps includes the type of setting you seek.

True - Being able to control the setting is not the same thing as automating the setting.

When called from within printing programs / software / applications, Printing Preferences might be called "Printer Properties" / "Shortcuts" / “More Settings” / “Properties” / "Printer Setup" / "Presets" or similar.

Example - Windows Photos - Photo Print

Check / Adjust settings for "Photo Size" and "Fit"

Photos_Print_Letter-5x7_4

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print - 4x6 in

Check / Adjust "Scaling"

HP_Smart_Win_Print_Photo_4x6_All_3

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

Example - Irfanview - Third Party Software - Simple Print Setup

Photo Editing Software might be better (or at least different) in its ability to save job / Profile configurations.

If you are not finding what you want using the typical apps and programs, consider using something new or different.

Sample - Irfanview - Print Job Setup
