Print from your computer
The HP all-in-one can be used with any software application that allows printing. The
instructions vary slightly depending on whether you are printing from a Windows PC or a
Macintosh. Make sure you follow the instructions for your operating system in this
chapter.
In addition to the printing capabilities described in this chapter, you can print special
print jobs such as borderless prints and newsletters; print images directly from a digital
camera that supports PictBridge; and use scanned images in printing projects in the
HP Image Zone.
● For more information on printing from a digital camera, see Use a PictBridge
camera.
● For more information on performing special print jobs or printing images in the
HP Image Zone, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
