Print from a software application

Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application. You need to change the settings manually only when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper or transparency film, or use special features.

To print from a software application

1.Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.

2.On the File menu in your software application, click Print.

3.Select the HP Photosmart as the printer.

If you set the HP Photosmart as the default printer, you can skip this step. The HP Photosmart will already be selected.

4.If you need to change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

NOTE: When printing a photo, you must select options for the specific photo paper and photo enhancement.
