Print photos

The HP All-in-One is equipped with memory card slots and a front USB port that enable you to print or edit photos from a memory card or storage device without uploading your photos to a computer first. Additionally, if the HP All-in-One is network-connected or connected to a computer with a USB cable, you can also transfer your photos to the computer to print, edit, or share.

Print from your computer

The HP All-in-One can be used with any software application that allows printing. You can print a range of projects, such as borderless images, newsletters, greeting cards, iron-on transfers, and posters.

Copy

The HP All-in-One enables you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white copies on a variety of paper types. You can enlarge or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the darkness of the copy, and use special features to make high-quality copies of photos, including borderless copies.

Scan

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text documents) on the HP All-in-One.

Fax
