Eryl, I am having problems with an HP printer, windows 10 and ALL the Affinity programs. Like you I have no problem printing with other software. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/66262-hp-printer-settings-not-recognised/ I have been trawling through all the posts about printing from Affinity programs and have come to the conclusion that it is a waste of time using the print option in all of them. If you need to print anything then it needs to be exported in a format such as .jpg, .pdf or whatever so your files can be opened in another third party software and printed from that using their print dialog in conjunction with the HP dialog. I bought Photo and Designer this week based on the website advertising and other reviews without first testing it, silly me. I am a very long term Serif user who is used to suffering workarounds, but this print issue is a deal breaker. The programs are good and will get better but basic printing should be a given at this stage of development. I mean, how can you not have the very basic 6x4 and 7x5 print option for photos. Back to the Plus series for me until improvements are made to the printing process.

Set to A5 out of Affinity. Set affinity to A5 Outcome

Not having a good start to Affinity. I cannot change my printer settings within ANY of the Affinity programs. The two screen shots here are of my HP Photosmart 410 printer options. One is shown as normal for printing from any other program and the other from Affinity Photo; Designer and the beta of Publisher are the same problem. Windows 10 version 1803 build 17134.228 I wanted to print a 6 x 4 photo. I cannot change the printer options when clicking on properties in the print window of Photo as there are no options displayed in the HP properties window. If I set the printer properties outside of Affinity then open Affinity and choose the print options the display is still blank. but the settings still remain intact when opening the properties outside of Affinity. On that basis I did a print but the outcome was a full A4 page of print. The printing option seems to default to an A4 page no matter how I set the page size in the HP properties outside of Affinity. I have un-installed all printer software and references to HP, un-installed Affinity. Then re-installed Affinity first then the printer, that did not work, so repeated the process and installed the printer first. Still no good. I've had hours of frustration, so I am here as a last resort, can anyone help please?
