printing pictures

[rosyposy]

Hi, when I print my pics I usually use A4 paper and sometimes only want one print, of course this uses loads of paper! I have a packet of 4" x 6" photo paper but haven't a clue how to use it. I have a HP1400psc, and inserted the smaller paper but it only printed half of it sideways!! Tried their helpline but no joy. I would also like to print envelopes but again don't know where to start. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. TIA rosy

You haven't said what application you are using to print your photos. If printing from the Windows Pictures and Fax Viewer, after selecting the pictures to be printed, you'll be presented with a Printing Options dialog. Click the Printing Preferences button (Some applications will have a Printer Properties button).
You'll now be presented with a dialog that is specific to your printer, but for example, with my HP CP1215, the first page asks for the size of paper (defaulted to A4). Click the dropdown arrow to the right and choose the correct paper size. The next page allows you to select the type of paper (eg Photo Glossy, etc).
Click OK when done.
Then continue with the printing operation as normal. Printing envelopes is essential the same.

thank you for that, rojash, I did do that at the time, maybe I am putting the paper in the wrong way? I will try again, Merry Christmas rosy p.s. yes I was using the Windows pictures also.
