Load paper in main tray on a photosmart 3210

Paper is loaded but I still get the error: "Load Paper in Main Tray"

Do you have the flap folded inside the envelope, so that it does not stick out?

Photosmart D7560 will not print envelopes - load paper into main tray

My photosmart d7560 will not print envelopes, after moving the envelope into position for printing, the message "load paper into main tray" is displayed. It does print the envelope data correctly on a piece of 8.5x11 paper. Setup is for a #10 envelope. Envelopes are self sealing. I have tried creasing the edge better but that didn't help. I tried a non-self seal (which had a letterhead on it so I couldn't use it for this mailing) and it DID work. Is there any way to make self seal envelopes work in this printer?

HP Photosmart Premium c309a says "Load paper into Main Tray " ONLY when copying

Hi all,
I've found countless forums where people have had a Load Paper error for printing, but I only seem it get it when copying. Has anyone experienced this? It always takes a sheet in , stops, then gives the message. I press OK because paper is loaded, and I get the message again. The sheet comes out when I hit the Cancel button.
Any ideas on how I could get my c309a to recognise paper?

Hello AmardeepA,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when copying a document, you're receiving a message "Load Paper". I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. Are you copying a document from the scanner glass or from the automatic document feeder?
If you're using the automatic document feeder, then follow this HP document on The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Does Not Pick Up Paper. Try cleaning the ADF to see if this helps.
If you're using the scanner glass to copy a document, then please follow this HP document on 'Out of Paper' Error Message and the Printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper. Try cleaning the paper rollers and print a self test page from the printer. I would just like to make sure this page doesn't give you a "Load Paper" message.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

HP Photosmart C5180 Will no longer feed 8x11 Photo paper from main tray

My C5180 all in one will no longer feed 8x11 photo paper from main tray. Rollers slip and will not pull paper in. Any suggestions?

Hi @583seve
I see youa re having some difficulty with your Photosmart C5180. The following document addresses both out of paper messages and issues with paper pick; 'Out of Paper' Error Message Displays and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper.
If the issue persists, you might consider trying the steps in a paper jam document. Although you may not be experiencing a paper jam, the steps in this document may be all that is left to try; 'Clear paper jam, then press OK' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel.
I hope this helps, but if after all your efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. They may be able to offer you a discount on a newer model as part of a trade in trade up option. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

Printer wants me to load paper when there's plenty already there

I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Every now and then it hangs up on a print job, telling me I need to load paper in the tray even though there's lots of paper already there. I have only one tray, but apparently some of these printers have the capacity for two. Maybe that's a part of the problem? I've tried everything I can think of. By the way, is there some way to send an email to HP describing the problem, or are we on our own as customers? Anyway, I'd appreciate advice if anyone has any. Thanks.

This document has several solutions which may be of use.

In addition the type of paper you are using can affect how well the printer picks it up. Recycled paper, while great for the environment doesn’t always pick correctly in printers. If you are using recycled paper try regular paper instead.

HP Photosmart 3210 installed on my iMac But is showing as but is showing as HP Color Laserjet 2800 series PS which means I no longer have access to all the paper options especially the photo tray

I have recently purchased an iMac running Lion. The HP Photosmart 3210 printer was connected through the network and I was happy that it recognised the printer - good old Mac's!!
However, when I tried to print some of my photos from the photo tray, the option was not available and when I looked at the printer properties, it was showing as a HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS which does not have all the paper options I had before. Reinstalling the software from HP did not make any difference - do I now have to buy a new printer as well???

I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Paper in tray does not feed - error messsage says to load paper - D1660

Two questions: My hardly-used D1660 printer does not pick up the paper in the tray - regular 8 1/2 x 11 - width guide is snug against the pages in the tray - everything looks all right, but still it will not print. Message is to "load paper."
I reloaded the software and drivers last night from the HP site, followed all the steps including not connecting the USB cord until prompted, and got a "successful install" message. Then, at the "restart computer" stage, a "fatal error" message came up after I had closed all other programs and had done the "restart" from the Start menu by clicking on Shutdown and then Restart because there was no other prompt.
After the Error message, everything immediately began "uninstalling" automatically. No option to stop it.
What happened?
So I'm wondering what the "fatal error" was - and how to get the printer to pick up the pages and print.
All the components of the print program are showiing in the Programs queue. So doesn't look like they are "uninstalled."
Probably irrelevant: I recently added a new black ink cartridge and have the original multi-color cartridge in place.

I've attached a link to an HP Document that should assist you in correcting this problem. You may need to do a reset of the printer, the instructions to do this are included in the document.

Red X light comes on for printing or copying...says to load paper. Paper is in tray.

no problem printing today. This evening, when trying to print, as soon as I request the print mode, the printer shows a
red X and it trys to print, but message is to load paper. I had loaded the paper, numerous times and it will not work.
I tried to copy and samemessage. I've looked at all entries to see if something is blocked, nothing is blocked. Printer will not recognize that paper is loaded in tray.
Don't know what else to do.

... and what size and/or type of paper is referred to in the message - is the same as the type and size which the printer configuration suggests it has in the tray(s)?

'Load Paper' error message even when paper is loaded in the front load tray

Load Paper Error message -
Printer type: HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer
(possibly other HP printers as well)
This 'How-To' article will help you solve a 'Load Paper' error message even though there is paper in the front load tray. You can read this helpful article at http://mikeyates.com/wordpress/?cat=187
This could also help other HP printers with no easy access to the drop down type rollers located inside the printer.
Would appreciate any feedback if this worked for you or not.
Thanks
Mike

This is what I found: printer eventually wants to see color ink after running months without. Steps I followed were: remove ink cartridges. Remove printer head (raise handle at left) and clean (slosh bottom) in hot water, (did it 3 times) and wipe clean. Replace with new/full color ink cartridges and black if it's got ink still. Run clean printer head program from panel continuously until you start seeing good solid ink flowing on test paper, may even run alignment program at this point. Turn off printer, if you get Load paper error, hit OK, allow alignment to run, and if heads have been previously cleaned satisfactorily (all colors show up), alignment will show success, and the next time you start printer, no more load paper error. Point being, the printer eventually wants to see or will look for color ink and in particular, cyan necessary for the alignment page, and without this the program will aparently project a load paper error and alignment failure. (which you can get aroung by keep hitting OK and cancelling the alignment)! This totally cured by problem of load paper and alignment failure. Good luck and be patient, it may take some time to effective clean, I went through all color ink and will have to purchase more !

Laserjet CM2320 - "Load Paper" message with full tray

This printer has been working fine for about 2 months and now the only way I can print to it is to use the manual feed slot. The paper tray is full (and I've tried with a half tray as well), and it still says "Load Paper."
Any help?

"Load paper " error when paper is already loaded.

photosmart cc334-64001 my94uf911h
To print I press ok, a blank piece of paper (no evidence of printing) is ejected and then I get flashing exclaimation point, flashing print photos button, flashing on/off button with "Out of paper" window. Ideas, anyone?
Thank You

HI
Please make sure you are selecting the correct tray in the printing perferences.
Select the Main tray/Tray 1 for plain paper and if you printing 4x6 photo paper then select Photo tray
In the software program, click Print , and then click Simple Print .
Select the correct product from the Printer drop-down list.
Select the correct paper size from the Paper Size drop-down list.
Load paper both in main tray and also the photo tray.
If the issue please revert for more clarification.

HP 2200D LaserJet recognized optional TRAY 3 as main tray

The HP 2200D has a standard 2 paper-feed system: (1) manual load, (2) main tray. I've just purchased the optional 3rd tray. I went to PRINTER SETUP UTILITY and configured it to recognize TRAY 3. The printer prints just fine using all 3 feeds but for some reason it has chosen TRAY 3 as the default, so whenever I print a document, it pulls paper from TRAY 3 instead of the main TRAY 2. And yes, I do have the PRINT dialogue box set to AUTO SELECT / STANDARD. Please help.
Mac Mini (power pc) • iMac 24" (intel duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Today was my day to figure out how to get the correct tray to take the printing jobs, and I stumbled upon the answer to your question, but it's there, but it isn't really obvious.
On the print panel, you'll see the labels Printer: and Presets: — then you'll do like me and everybody else, and go and do the fixin's down that third pull-down menu. What the Presets menu does is takes the choices you've made and lets save it for either using every time, or for whenever you want it.
I like to pull paper from Tray 3 (for no good reason), so I went to the Paper Feed menu item and selected "All pages from: Tray 3." Then, instead of having that work for that one print job, I went into the Presets menu and chose the Save As…and called it "Tray 3." I kept that one selected in the print dialog, and now when I go to print in other programs, the last–selected print Preset I chose is used for all further print jobs.
Using this, I created a Preset with the Tray 3 paper duplexed, and Tray 2 Preset, and a Tray 2 without the Econowazzits for high–quality printing.
Another note of frustration: the Auto–Select is pretty much cursed. Whatever it deems you Auto–Selected is what it selects for you. I went into the GIMP Print ppd file, and the middle drawer was selected, and it still wanted to use Tray 1. So, sorry to say, you'll have to create a custom Preset unless you want to cuss at your machine several times a day (like I was).
