Instructions

The HP Photo Print Gadget with Smart Crop dramatically reduces the time and effort required to print photos on your HP inkjet printer.

To install the Gadget, click on the "Download Now" button above, save the Gadget file to your Windows Vista® desktop, double click on the Gadget file, and then click on the "Install" button.

During installation, the HP Photo Print Gadget will select your Windows default printer and automatically configure the correct print size, paper type, and paper tray to print a 4” x 6” borderless photo*. If you would like to view or change these default settings before you start printing, click on the options button as illustrated below. There you can change the print size to 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10" and 8.5" x 11", or you can change your printer, tray and paper type settings. Changes you make on the options menu will be permanently saved until the next time you change them.
Photo Gadget - Adjust
To print, simply drag and drop photos from anywhere on your PC to the HP Photo Print Gadget in your Windows Vista® sidebar. The Gadget will then:
  • Detect the orientation of your photos (portrait or landscape)

  • Apply HP Smart Crop technology to ensure that your subject’s head is not cut off in landscape photos

  • Send the photos to your printer

Tip: If you use more than one printer, you can run several Gadget’s at once, each Gadget configured to print to a different printer.
