Install the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in
The HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in for Adobe Photoshop is installed automatically with the HP Photosmart printer
software if you have Adobe Photoshop on the same computer. If you install Adobe Photoshop after you install the
printer software, you can then install the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in separately.
To install the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in (Windows)
1. Insert the HP Photosmart CD in the computer CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Install More Software.
3. Select Photosmart Pro plug-in for Photoshop® and then follow the onscreen instructions.
To install the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in (Mac)
1. Click the HP Device Manager icon in the Dock.
2. Click Maintain Printer.
3. Select the printer from the list, and then click Select. The HP Printer Utility appears.
4. Select the Photosmart Pro print plug-in for Photoshop® pane on the left.

Start the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in
To start the plug-in
1. Open an image in Adobe Photoshop.
2. Select File, point to Automate, and then click Photosmart Pro print....
The print preview area in the Photosmart Pro print dialog box displays the current image in a scaled size in its true
aspect ratio. Paper borders are displayed as they will appear on the print. To resize the image, click and drag its
edges. To reposition the image on the page, click on the image and drag it to a new location. To print only a portion
of the image, drag part of the image off of a page edge.

Use application-based color management

Application-based color management offers more sophisticated control than the printer-based form, but also
involves greater complexity and more steps.
Application-based color management relies on files called ICC (International Color Consortium) device profiles. An
ICC profile describes a device's color space. The software program component of your color management system
uses these profiles to convert colors between each device's color space. The HP Photosmart Pro B8800 series
software installation installs HP ICC profiles automatically for the printer.
To print using application-based color management features, you have to change settings in the printer driver and
in the image editing software program. Here is one example of a typical print job using application-based color
management in Adobe Photoshop (versions CS3 or CS2). See the documentation that came with your image editing
software program for complete instructions on using the product's color management features.
To print using application-based color management (Using Photoshop CS3 or CS2)
1. Open the photo you want to print in Adobe Photoshop.
2. Select File, and click Print (CS3) or Print with Preview (CS2).
