HP Photosmart 6510 gets a "Paper Mismatch" error trying to print on Avery return address labels

I just bought the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday. I'm trying to print out return address labels to put on my daughters birthday party invitations, but the printer gives me a "Paper Mismatch" error. This new printer replaced an HP PSC 1350 all-in-one, which printed these labels just fine. I am using Pages on Mac OS 10.7 with the Avery 5195 template. The labels are on standard US Letter (8.5" x 11") paper. I'm really not sure what the problem is.
Any help would be appreciated. I have to get these printed out tomorrow!!!

Paper Mismatch when trying to print a recipe card from a template

I keep getting a message when trying to print a 4 x 6 recipe card on both of my color printers. No matter what I do I cannot print the cards. I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and a HP Officejet 8000 series printer. I am running Windows 7, 32 bit. I went to reinstall the drivers from the original installation disk and I get the message that a newer version of the drivers is already installed.

I am sorry to hear you went through so much time and effort to get it working . More so because in the end we don't know what solved it. However, I am glad to hear everything is working now . Let us know if you run into any other problems!

'Paper Mismatch' error message on HP Photosmart 6510

Hi,
I seem to keep getting the error message 'Paper Mismatch' when trying to print on my HP Photomsart 6510, I have read your forum regarding this message but that doesn't seem to help me. It seems to work fine when i'm using standard A4 paper, but I want to print on a slightly thicker paper GSM 80, and it used to work fine - but all of a sudden it keeps giving me that error message. When I changed the printer settings to 'custom' as suggested, it did print - however the document went a funny angle and didn't print properly. I would really appreicate your help on this.
Thanks.

I will do my best to try to think of something that is not in the previous forums. Tell me, what kind of software are you printing from (ex. Word, Adobe, etc.)? Quite often there is a template within the software you are using. For Word, select the Mailings Tab and check in envelopes or labels for that exact paper type.
Is your operating system Windows 7, XP, Mac, etc? I hope I can guide you to the proper setting but I will need to know more.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

HPePrint gives paper mismatch error when I try to print from my android phone

I have 5x7 paper in the Photosmart 7520 printer and when I try to send a photo from my android phone to the printer, I get a paper mismatch error. Will it only print 4x6? Can I not change a setting somewhere?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When I print from my Mac, I don't get the error as I'm printing from an application like Lightroom and I can tell it the paper size. Don't get that opputunity when I print from my phone. By default, I think the printer assumes 4X6. Wish that there was some way to tell it otherwise as I'd rather use 5x7

C309 and printing envelopes paper mismatch error

New C309 and I can not print legal envelopes. I get a paper mismatch error and press OK to cancel print job. I have inserted the envelopes as directed on the paper tray with no results.

I think I have found the solution to this problem - I stumbled on it myself – The problem is that I have my standard printer settings set to utilize the duplex printing feature (printing on both sides of the paper). When printing an envelope, the printer does NOT like that. By simple changing the Properties for this specific job for “Print on both sides to save paper:” to “Off” I can now print envelopes again as I use to on my old computer. I have no idea what caused the problem but it is now solved for me.
My configuration is currently as follows:
Dell inspiron 14z
Windows 7, 64bit
MS Word 2007

HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m paper jam errors

I keep getting a paper jam error on my photosmart plus B209 a-m. I have followed all of the directions in the guided help. There is no paper jam and every time I try to print thats what message I get.
Can anyone help? I am so frustrated I am ready to scream. I just got this printer for Christmas. Geeze!!

I have exactly the same problem! Also VERY frustrated!
Called HP 'Support' yesterday and was told (LITERALLY): "Throw the printer away." !!!!
The machine is just slightly out of warranty and, since HP, in their infinite wisdom, has decided NOT to locate a Service/Repair Center anywhere in all of Australia, they are unable to service or repair this printer.
Aside from the cost associated with buying a new printer, I find this VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY!! To be trashing such a piece of hardware for a simple problem like this, is not a very smart way to be doing things, in my book.
I am convinced that anyone who knows how to open this machine up could fix this problem in 30 minutes, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get into the machine.
After having had a very close look into the guts of the machine, I can actually see where the carriage is hanging up, but am unable to disassemble or open the machine up to un-jam it.
DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO DISASSEMBLE AN HP-B209A (All-In-One) PRINTER??
VERY, VERY POOR SHOW HP!!!!!

I cannot clear a paper mismatch warning from the printer.

I keep getting a paper mismatch warning on my 6500 E709 n series printer. The settings have not changed and I have not added or removed any paper from the printer.
Powering down the printer & restarting did not work nor does removing the paper & restarting. How do I clear this mismatch error so I can print?

Communications Error trying to print to HP Photosmart C2780 via network

Setting up a new HP Photosmart C2780. Using latest drivers from vendor, running software update. Computers running 10.5 will set up and print to printer OK, but computers running 10.4.11 have a different setup procedure, and won't print once it has been added as a printer.
The HP "setup" software on 10.4.11 can't ever see the printer, but I can access the printer's web interface and use the HP utilities to print test pages fine. I can use the System Preferences Print and Fax pane to set up the printer, but here's what I get: I've tried setting it up via "More Printers" but can't see the printer under any of the options there, and adding by IP under any of the HP options won't see the printer.
I can add it as an IP printer using the LPR protocol OK, but when I print to it, I just get a "Communications interrupted" error. The print job gets hung in the queue. Again, machines running 10.5.x can see, setup, and print to the printer OK, it's just 10.4.11 that won't work.

It turns out the problem was that the network switches had some unicast functions, including those that allow Bonjour to work, disabled. The reason I got my 10.5 machine to work is that we had set up a simple, open switch to rule out the core network switches. We just got a little confused during the troubleshooting process and missed the fact that the HP setup software saw the printer and got a successful configuration while we had the local switch in place. The Printer Setup in the OS alone will not properly configure the printer until the HP setup software sees it and configures the installation.
SOLUTION: Allow all unicast traffic on network switch. Run the HP Setup software and allow it to see and configure the printer. Once the setup is complete, the unicast functions can be turned back off and printing continues to work.

Why do I get print error trying to print pdf?

why do I get print error trying to print pdf?

Assuming you are having a problem printing one PDF, and not every PDF, If you have Acrobat, you can try Tools> Print Production> Preflight> PDF/X Compliance> Convert to PDF/X-1a. You can also look in your printer settings and see if you have the option to "print as image".

HT3049 Why do I keep getting "Connection failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" when trying to print on Windows networked printer over wi-fi?

Why do I keep getting "Connection failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" when trying to print on Windows networked printer over wi-fi?

If I run the following (on the machine I'm trying to set up the share)
smbclient -L localhost -U%
I got the following output
Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
so I thought it might be something incorrect with the iptables side of things, however I haven't really touched that at all and it seems to look correct
iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 667 packets, 79977 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 157 packets, 20724 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
So from my (very little) knowledge this appears correct (I think)... However it appears that something is blocking access somewhere.

What does it take to get a simple Return Address label from HP?

Yes, I have a defective printer. I got the replacement printer the other day. I was told I had 15 days to return the defective printer back to HP. They gave me an e-choice card to use to buy the replacement printer online. I received the replacement printer on Thursday. Well the last few days have been a joke. I contacted online chat support and the guy told me that I would be getting an email with the return address label within 24 hours. That was Thursday and I never got it. So yesterday I talked to someone on the phone. After 15 minutes I was told I would be getting and email within 24 hours with the return address label. Well guess what that never happened. What a nightmare it has been dealing with this defective printer for the last week. I won't get into what happened before the return address label situation. What the heck do I do without a return address label? I am not paying to ship it back to HP. If I don't send the defective printer back within 15 days my credit card will get charged for the replacement printer I got. It is like pulling your hair out to get anywhere with HP. I am about sick of it.

Paper mismatch error message on hp7500a when using eprint

I have an HP7500A wide format printer
When I send pictures from my phone to the printer via eprinter, I get a error message on printer 'Paper Mismatch'.
Paper size or type incorrect.
Yet when I check the settings it is set to A4, which is the paper I use.
Could anyone explain what I need to do to rectify this problem ?
This question was solved.

Hello Nashy58,
The issue is in how ePrint works with the PhotoSmart printer line. When you send a photo to the printer via ePrint, ePrint will print to the photo tray automatically. Right now there is no way to change this. To print a photo to plain paper via ePrint, you would have to put plain paper in the photo tray, which I would not recommend since it was not designed to handle that paper type.

Paper mismatch error with HP officejet pro 8000 (A809)

officejet pro 8000 A809 wireless -wrong size paper
running OSX 10.7.3 on a macbook pro 2.3GHz Intel i5
this printer has been running fine for a couple/three years now.. no problem when I got the new macbook last summer, or when i upgraded to Lion.
Now it has started getting confused as to what the paper size is - i get this error:
Paper Size Error: The paper size selected in the printer driver software does not match the paper size in the printer IN tray.
but only SOMETIMES. Like right now after screaming at it for an hour, unplugging and rebooting, etc., I sat down to write this and needed to get the exact wording for the error, so i told it to print. And it printed just fine. So I tried the next page I need to print, and I got the error again. I didn't even TOUCH the printer in between. The paper is letter size, it's always letter size. It's in landscape mode, but it has been for the whole morning, while I've been printing out certificates. Now it won't do it anymore. I am at a complete loss. I have rebooted my computer 3 times now, and unplugged the printer countless times. HELP!!!!!
It did this about 3 weeks ago and gave me fits for a couple days, and then magically started working fine again. I've deleted the USB and Bonjour versions of the printer from system prefs and re-added them. More than once. ;-)
Any ideas?

Though a day late & dollar short, I too encountered this issue with Yosemite.
After removing the paper & restarting the printer, I determined the issue to be related to the document. The document I was printing was sent to me from an international corporation. Which I figure was using a non-US paper format or a larger page format for the document.
I tried to change those within the document & was unsuccessful.
I copied the content to a new document & it printed fine.

After installing Firefox 4 I get this- An ununknown error occured while printing It's never done this before in older versions.

I keep getting the following message when I try to print something from my yahoo email.
'''An unknown error occurred while printing.''''
