Printing 5x7 photos on cp1525nw

How do I print 5x7 photos on my printer? It only gives a 5x8 as the closest thing or it goes dow to 4x6. I have 5x7 HP photo paper that came with the phot card pack and I'd like to use them.

Hello @1MADDOG1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with printing on 5 x 7 photo paper from your Windows 7 computer to your HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer. We may just have to 'create' the paper size under the Windows Operating System.
The first thing I did was check the printing specifications for your HP Laserjet to verify that the 5 x 7 paper size was listed under the media specifications, which it is. For your records, here are the specifications for your product: Printer Specifications for HP LaserJet Pro CP1525n and CP1525nw Color Printers
With that being said, because you don't see the 5 x 7 paper size listed under the program that you're printing from, I will have you manually create the size. Please follow the steps below.
1. Click on your Start menu
2. Select Devices and Printers
3. Click on your printer once in this folder and select Print Server Properties at the top.
4. In the Print Server Properties window make sure you're under the Forms tab
5. Click the checkbox for Create a New Form
6. Under Form Name type in 5x7
7. Under the Form Description section at the bottom please type 5.00in as Width and 7.00in as Height
8. Click Save Form on the top right
9. Click Apply and OK
Now that the Paper Size has been manually created, please open the page you wish to print and now listed under the paper size options you should see 5x7 as a size.
Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Best of luck!

  • How to load 5x7" photo paper so printer does not think tray is empty

    I am using the HP app to try and print on photo paper 5x7" supplied with inks by HP for this printer. Printer takes photo papers at edge of tray but won't print as it detects no paper in it! Crazy!
    I put the paper sideways, and then it did feel paper but printed across it, cutting off bottom as not correct shape. Looks like it is too small to be felt in tray

  • Printing 5x7 on 8.5x11 paper

    Is there a way to print 5x7 photos in iPhoto on 8.5x11 paper with only one photo per page?

    select the photo and print - select the printer, set paper to 8.5x11 and print size to 5x7 and click customize - click on settings (the gear looking thingy in the tool bar) and select single picture per page, click print and make any printer specific selections and click print to print them

    First crop the image to the 4x6 or 5x7 print size ratio.  Click on Share ➙ Prints, Select the same size paper stock and the size layout in the print window.

  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

  • Cannot Print to 5x7 Photo Paper with iPhoto

    I just bought my first iMac and hooked it up to my Epson 730 Artison printer, which is designed to work with Apple products. Whenever I print a photo it always prints to the 8.5x11 inch paper instead of the photo paper, which is located above the 8.5x11 inch paper.  This happens even when I select the 5x7 inch paper size and select glossy photo paper in iPhoto.  In fact, it does not matter what combination of options I select from iPhoto in terms of the print options, it just prints it to 8.5x11 no matter what.
    Is there some way to make iPhoto print to the size of paper that I choose with Epson products?  There are two sizes of paper which can be loaded in the tray at the same time, in case you haven't seen one.
    (Tearing hair out after an entire evening wasted trying to print one 5x7 glossy photo.)
    Thank you very much.
    David

    I'm so embarrassed.  The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1.   I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine. 
    I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

  • Print multiple photos on 1 sheet

    I am trying to print 4 photos on a single 5x7 photo sheet. Print Package seems to be totally unusable.
    I select 3 photos and can't position them on the screen
    I select a 4th photo and it positions it on a 2nd sheet
    I can't resize a photo by clicking the image and adjusting the size (like most other windows packages)
    If I move a photo it seems to change format from landscape to portrait
    I set Printer settings to 5x7 Glossy but whatever option I chose in 'Select a Layout' gives me a message saying The layout selected is larger than paper size - eventhough they're both set to 5x7.
    If I select a photo and try and move it, it just duplicates the image somewhere else on the print page - and doesn't let me delete it or undo
    I have selected 5x7 paper size and Layout 5x7 (4) but the review screen still doesn't show 4 photos positioned logically.
    This task should take 5 minutes - I am now quitting after nearly 2 hours - which included reading many community issues of people trying to do this simple task and clearly having the same problems I have.

    This seems like a flaw in the program.  In a good tool you could just print the four 5x7's and not have to mess with this garbage.  Are you listening Adobe?????
    I really don't like to see this thread degenerate into an exercise in polemics. PSE has a picture package layout, but the default is limited. However, it is relatively easy to tailor additional layouts to one's needs. You will find instructions in this thread:

  • How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!

  • How to print boderless photos with 6525 printer from Windows 7

    Regardless of whatever setting I use with the 'Advanced' print menu in Windows or within Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, I STILL get a border around every print. I've even set 'Custom print size'  in Photoshop to the full 7 x 5"- and the on-screen preview image shows the paper size correctly filled without a border - but the printer still gives a border, like it or not!
    HELP!!!

    Hello Suffolkman,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are trying to print a 5x7 borderless photo with the Photosmart 6525, but it will not despite the setting you have entered.
    The 5x7 paper does support borderless, I was able to print one fine. You mentioned applying this under the Advanced setting, was this the area?
    If not, you can access this by right clicking on the printer from Devices and Printers, then Printer Preferences.
    Have you tried to print the photo from Windows Photo Viewer?
    Also, the HP Print and Scan Doctor is a great to you can utilize to ensure the drivers and software are functioning as they should.

  • Can I print 5x7 with iPhoto 6?

    I have iPhoto 2 now, and it does not allow me to print 5x7. I custom create 5x7 paper size in page setup, constrain my photo to 5x7, but absolutely cannot successfully print a 5x7. I've seen other people post about this same problem.
    My question is, if I drop the $80 on iLife'06, will I be able to print 5x7? I'd hate to order it only to find it doesn't help.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    I've never had any difficulty printing 5X7s but that's a standard size with my print driver. I want to tell you that you'll have no problems but I'm a bit worried that your printer might be a limiting factor.

  • On the iMac, I want to print a photo 2-up on 8-1/2 x 11.

    On the imac, I want to print a photo 2-up on 8-1/2 x 11. I even made a duplicate and selected both to print. It laughs at me. Sigh

    Do the following;
    1 - select the two photos you want to print.
    2 - type Command+P
    3 - in the print window select Paper Size = Letter (borderless)
    4 - select Print Size = 5x7
    You'll get this in the print window:
    Then use the Print button.

  • Need to print 5x7 pictures rather than 4x6 - using windows 8

    Hi I need to set my new HP Mobile 150 to print 5x7 pictures rather than the default 4x6. I have changed the paper size in the printer properties but I'm still getting 4x6 prints - any advice would be very appreciated!

    Hi BarbaraSki,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when trying to some 5 x 7 photos that they are printing in a 4 x 6 format using your Officejet Mobile 150 printer.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    How is the printer connected (USB cable or Bluetooth)?
    What program are you using to print the photos?
    Are you trying to print borderless 5 x7 photos? Borderless printing is not support for 5 x 7 photos, please see the Officejet Mobile 150 Printer Specifications.
    What operating system are you using on your computer (Windows 7, Mac 10.9, or Windows 8, etc)?
    Have you downloaded and installed the full feature software and drivers?
    I’m sorry to ask this, but have you loaded 5 x 7 photo paper into the printer?
    Thank you.
