Hi @rhody81,

I understand that you get an error message. The error message indicates that the image is trying to print within the margins of the printer preset.

Please, try the steps in these guides:

Load photo paper

1. make sure that the paper tray is open.

2. slide the width guides to the paper to all open.

3. remove all paper from the tray to paper and then load the photo paper with the side to be printed on the bottom.

4. press the photo paper in the printer until they stop.

5. slide the width guides to the paper firmly against the edge of the photo paper.

To print a photo on photo paper

1. on the file menu in your software, click on print.

2. make sure that your printer is selected.

3. click on the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button can be called properties, Options, configure the printer, printer, printer, or preferences.

4. Select the appropriate options.

● On the Layout tab, select the orientation to Portrait or landscape.

● on the paper/quality tab, select the paper type appropriate media drop-down list in the area of selection of the status bar and select the print quality in the quality settings area.

● Click Advanced to select the appropriate paper size from the paper size drop-down list.

NOTE: For maximum dpi resolution, go to the paper/quality tab, select Photo paper in the media drop-down list, and then select Best quality settings area. Then, click on the Advanced button and select Yes in the print in the drop-down list DPI Max. If you want to print the max DPI in grayscale, select high quality grayscale printing in grayscale in the drop-down list.

5. click on OK to return to the Properties dialog box.

6. click OK and then click on print or OK in the print dialog box.

NOTE: When printing over, remove unused paper from the tray paper. Store photo paper so it does not start to curl, which could reduce the quality of your print.

  • HP Envy 4500: Cannot print Photos and large documents on my HP Envy 4500 all-in-one printer

    Hello

    I bought my Hp Envy 4500 all in November last one. It worked like a charm for the first 2 months. I tried to print photo 4 x 6 a day. 2 first impressions were good, and the third image has begun to fade from the half. Documents not threatened by more than a few pages. I tried to uninstall/re-install, printing via USB, set static IP address on the print and followed by other solutions on this forum. I was lazy to lift a question myself on this forum. Now, I'm totally frustrated and disappointed by this product, I wanted to just try my luck.

    Help, please!

    Hey @Kvelrajan,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

    I understand your ENVY 4500 HP e-all-in-one printer is not printing documents to the end and there is a print quality problem when you print photos.  I would like to help.

    I have some suggestions that can solve these problems.

    First, I recommend that you only perform a "hard reset":

    1. press the Power button to turn off the printer.
    2. unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.
    3. wait 60 seconds.
    4 reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
    5. press the power button to turn on the printer.

    Click on the title of the following article:

    HP printers - HP wireless built before 2010 printer print a partial Page or fails to print all Pages in Windows 8

    Try Solution two.

    If this clarify two questions, great!  If this solves the problem of document but still the problem of print quality with photos, click on the title of the following article:

    Printer prints a blank Page or does not print black ink color for the HP ENVY 4500 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-all-in-One Printer Series

    Work your way through the Solution one and go until you are satisfied with the print quality.  Test photo print - does clarify the issue of the photo?

    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  Feel free to click on the "Thumbs Up" icon below, if I solved your problems.

    Have a great day!

  • HP Envy 4500: HP Envy 4500 - photo print half off the page. Print very well.

    All of a sudden, my HP Envy 4500 failed to print all the images; documents continue to print OK.  For photos, the printer acts like it's works fine to start, but print only about half of the photo on the paper - it seeks to print the rest on the back of the photo a lot of ink rollers...

    Research forums, this is the EXACT problem I have:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/inkjet-printing/HP-envy-4500-prints-only-half-of-the-photo/TD-p/3781222

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, try to print from a different computer, laptop and even tried what was suggested in the post above - to copy a picture of the scanner on the printer itself.  Who printed still only half of the picture...

    The consensus from the link above was a hardware problem.  My printer is no longer under warranty, so unless there is another thing I can try I will buy a new printer.   This one isn't worth it for me to pay to ship somewhere to remedy.

    Any last suggestions until I have this gift to local traffic (with a note that it only prints documents)?

    Hi @JPotter,

    You can contact HP customer care to find out what service or the recovery options are available. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

  • HP 4500 Envy: Just installed my hp envy 4500, it won't scan in color when you use the pdf document.

    I just installed my hp envy 4500 with software updated and everything. When I scanned a page of letter United States using Documents with text preset (through the control panel of the printer or my mac using Hp scanning application) it comes out only in black and white. The only color work is if I use the 'General purpose' preset, but the resulting dimensions of the scan above the 8.5 x 11 format.

    Ive tried to see if I can change a mode in the settings of scanning... I saw this earlier post to troubleshoot: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Envy-4500-won-t-scan-pdf-in-color/td-p/3970...

    but these instructions correspond to my HP utitliy application since there is no 'blue triangle' or drop-down menu next to the Mode of my Scanner... as well as an option to choose the color.

    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @jnicolem

    From your description, it seems that you need to change your scan tasks. You can change the scan tasks by following the steps below.

    Follow the instructions below.

  • HP envy 4500: hp envy will print but not scan

    I just got a new computer with Windows 10. I have no problems wireless printing to my HP Envy 4500. However, I can't scan from the printer or computer. I downloaded the HP scan and capture the app on my laptop. When I click on "capture the Photo" or "Document of Capture" in the application, I can hear the printer starts to scan, but then I get a "general failure". When I try to scan from the printer, the printer is "impossible to connect to the computer" (However, I am able to send something to print without problem).

    Then I connected my laptop via the usb port to the printer. When you try to scan from the printer, the printer is still unable to connect to my computer. When you try to scan from the HP app, it will sometimes (about 1 in 4 attempts), if I click on "Photo capture. However, it will never scan when I click on "Document capture. Getting a diagnosis of "General failure."
