Print album pages with your HP Photosmart Printer

Before you start

A photo album is a delightful and creative way to showcase your snapshots and transform them into a beautiful story worth telling. And your HP Photosmart printer makes it easy to print your own album pages at home.

Your HP Photosmart printer may feature well-designed, professional looking album pages for a variety of occasions. HP Photosmart compact printers even include album templates with themes such as seasons and special events.

Choose the photographs you would like to use – the real winners – and group them in the order that best tells "the story". Perhaps it's preparing to board the plane for your big vacation, the five-hour flight, hitting the beach, or your last sunset before heading home. Be sure to do all of your editing before entering Album mode and to load your printer with the right paper.

Next, connect your computer to your printer or load your pictures on to a memory card and then insert the card into the printer. To create an album using your printer, select View & Print, and then select the photo you want to appear first in your album.

Create an album Select Create, and then select Albums. Use the onscreen arrows to navigate to this option if it's not visible.

Some printers, such as HP Photosmart A646 Compact Photo Printer, contain a variety of different themes. If your printer has this option, select the Album Category that best captures the theme of your photos: Seasons, Kids, Daily Life, or Special Events. Next, select your specific Album design.

After deciding whether or not you want a cover page, follow the prompt to Select Photos. Next, select how many Album Pages you would like. Lastly, select Done when you are ready to preview your album.

The album open with your photos placed on pages, with the first selection appearing on the cover. Use the onscreen arrows to flip through the pages of your book.

Select the Shuffle button to move photos among the template positions on the page.

Print your album

Now Print your album...and you're done! Albums cannot be saved, so be sure to print as many copies as you need before removing the memory card or turning off the printer.

You can also insert your album pages into a photo book for a classy, timeless presentation.
