print from your computer

Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application you

are printing from or by HP ColorSmart technology. You only need to change the

settings manually when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper

or film, or use special features.

Note: If you have a photo memory card, you can select and print photos

directly from it using the HP PSC. For information, see use a photo memory

card on page 21.

This section contains the following topics:

• print from a software application on page 55

• set print options on page 56

• stop a print job on page 57

For more information on performing special print jobs, see the onscreen

HP Photo & Imaging Help that came with your software.

print from a software application

Follow these steps to print from the software application that you used to create

your document.

1 Load the input tray with the appropriate paper.

For more information, see load originals and load paper on page 11.

2 From your software application’s File menu, select Print.

3 Make sure that you select the HP PSC to print.

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, or Printer), and then select the

appropriate options for your print job using the features available in the

Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects, Basics, and Color tabs.

paper type and photo enhancement. You might also want to use the photo

print cartridge for superior print quality. See work with print cartridges on

The settings you select apply only to the current print job. To set print

settings for all jobs, see set print options on page 56.
