Printing with Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Photo Viewer

When you try to print in the above programs (Windows 7 replacements for the old photo and Fax Viewer), there are several issues that I can't understand:

1. I can't find paper of A4 size, only in small sizes.

2. There is only a single print option: ' picture full page ' and not the ability to print size the image half or quarter size as in the old WP & FV.

Where can I find settings similar to WP & FV by which I can choose the page size and the size of the photo on the paper?

Thank you

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02681060

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Hope that answers some questions.

  • Cannot print with Windows 7 and Photosmart 7350

    Hello. Recently, I converted my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium OS. I have no problem printing to work with this computer of our HP LaserJet but when I enter the problem starts. I have a wireless home network with my Photosmart 7350 connected to my desktop computer that is still running XP. The wizard sees the printer and adds but cannot print a test page. He says that it is waiting, then the print job disappears. I downloaded the Vista driver for the printer. When I run the troubleshooter, it cannot determine the problem. No surprise as convenience stores rarely did help. I got around the problem by sending documents to the desktop so far and then print it from there, but it gets old. Any ideas?

    Please install the printer on Windows 7 by using the following steps:

  • Designjet 130: Two printers Designjet 130 do not print with Windows 10

    I have two printers Designjet 130. Both work fine with XP/Vista/Windows 7. They do not work with 10.

    I spent 20 hours trying to get these things to work with no luck. I tried TWO different machines running windows 10 does not. These printers are running via a USB connection.

    I can install, make the printer by default and PRINT TEST page! I can also print from the HP Scan DR who assures me that all is well. However, when I go to a program such as Notepad, they will not print. Notepad returns an error "The deal invalid. I tried researching this message, but it leads to good spirits more that I can understand.

    My machine is a processor Intel X 5960, 32 GB of memory and a motherboard Asus x 99 Deluxe.

    I tried to launch the installation of the HP software in a variety of modes compatible with no luck.

    I'm out of ideas other than to roll back my 7 software, which I really don't want to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok. I finally solved this problem. I went to the HP site and even ONCE downloaded the driver Designjet 130.

    Download driver on Dec30, 13:34 had a 2 652 k file size

    Today at 11:53 driver has a file size of 3099 KB.

    Maybe they (HP) fixed.

    Maybe my original upload has been altered.

    Very simply:

    Connect your printer. Windows will find and automatically install the USB printing as well as a device driver option. This driver won't work, however, you end up being able to print a test page. This ultimately will always be a false confirmation. The driver version 7.00 is for Vista, Windows 7 and 8. It doesn't work in either compatibility mode.

    Go ahead:

    Go to devices and printers.

    A series of beautiful graphic icons opens.

    Double-click your printer.

    Double click on "customize your printer.

    Go to the about tab.

    Check your installed printer driver version

    10 Windows will install default v7.00 and will keep you in saying he has the best version

    available. Don't believe that.

    The Hewlett Packard scanner DR software will tell you the same thing.

    Do not think that either.

    You want to version 8.10. It is available on the site of HP in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Download it. I unzipped in a folder on my desktop.

    Now, go to the Device Manager.

    Scroll down to "printers". Click on.

    Right click on your printer.

    Click on "Update driver software"

    Do not click on the first option by default.

    Do not click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

    Click on "Search for driver at this location software '-specify the folder on your desktop and select"include subfolders. "

    Click Browse. The software will make a satisfying update.

    Return to the file "Devices and printers" and the option "customize your printer.

    Double-click. Return to the 'About' tab and confirm that driver version 8.10 is installed.

    Close to everything and to print something.

    Just to check myself, I printed my second document to confirm a nagging doubt.

    The impression is confirmed. Good year for me and anyone else reading this.

  • Printer with windows 8.1 compatibility

    My Bank Web site allows me to view and print images of my canceled checks. When I was running Windows 7 on my LaserJet 1020 has worked very well. But with Windows 8.1 it wouldn't print the images themselves - only two empty boxes and the surrounding text. I then bought a new HP LaserJet Pro P 1102w having been said it was compatible with Windows 8.1. Now, I have exactly the same problem with the new printer. I don't have this problem when I attach my laptop running Windows 7 on the new printer. Everything I print. I short, I don't think that my new printer is fully compatible with Windows 8.1. I could not download "Full solution" to HP. How can I get it on a CD?

    Hi Flyfish66,

    The most likely problem in the browser that you use with Windows 8. It's probably a different version of when you were using Windows 7.

    What browser do you use? AOL?

    Try using a different browser to see if have the same results. (Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer)

    Using another browser other AOL then, when you download the drivers.

    If you are able to print with the different browser, please contact AOL support for assistance in using this browser.

    Thank you.

  • LaserJet pro M127fw MFP: print with Windows 10

    Since I upgraded to Windows 7 to 10, I had a problem with printing to my Laserjet MFP M127fw pro.

    In the print preview the page to print looks like square rather than rectangular but the picture about this seems OK. When I print in fact the image is crushed vertically. The problem is the same print with Word, Excel and Acrobat.

    I have been informed that a new driver is required, so I deleted the old driver and downloaded a new one compatible with Windows 10 but the problem persists.

    Thanks for the help but it seems that the problem was that my screen resolution was completely wrong, so that if the image looked OK on preview before printing then it would look incorrect when printing and vice versa.

  • Cannot install printer with Windows 8.1
