My printer's status is Paper mismatch . How can I fix this?? no printing at all...

tried everything..Nothing works.

Please post some additional information.
Printer model number
Paper tray you using
Paper size & type
Printer driver setting you are selecting when you try to print.
Is it a paper type mismatch or a paper size mismatch?
Size mismatch can occur if the printer thinks one size us loaded but the actual size is different.  Type mismatch is similar.  Different models have different ways in which this can happen because differences in the sensors within the printer.

  • When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    Does it print correctly on plain paper?
    What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
    iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

  • HT1338 I have updated my new MacBook Pro for HP Photosmart All-in-One, but it still will not scan - it will print, but will not scan. How can I fix this?

    I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a.  It prints, but will not scan.  Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan.  Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
    This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.

    Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
    A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

    But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software.

  • My Ipad Air reboot all time. How can i fix this?

    All time that I am using my Ipad Air, than he reboot unexpected.
    Just using any app, as safari, pages, keynote, numbers and any other apps.
    I do not know how can I fix this.
    Thank you all.

    Hi André_RJ,
    It sounds like no matter what app you are using, your iPad Air restarts on its own. I would start by resetting the phone, with these steps:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists I would use the following article to backup your device to iTunes and restore it from your backup. If the issue persists, then restore it one more time as new using the same article to isolate to the backup file itself.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

  • I am trying to get my iPad to print from hp air printer and it only prints on photo paper. How do I fix it to print on paper. I already put setting to copy on printer but it prints blank.

    I am trying to get my iPad to print from hp air printer and it only prints on photo paper. How do I fix it to print on paper. I already put setting to copy on printer but it prints blank.

    Thank you everyone. I figured it out. I thought that you can use regular paper to print pictures from photos on Ipad. This is not possible. I was able to use regular print paper to print from my mail. My problem is solved!! 

  • When printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

    when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?

    This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
    Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.

  • My 8600 Hp printer used to select either tray 1 or 2. Now it doesn't. How can I fix this?

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer used to print between trays 1 & 2 (1 being letter and 2 being legal). Now, suddenly I find I am only given the option of printing from tray 1 and must remove it and insert tray 2 before I can print legal-size paper. How do I fix this, or is it a new problem with HP?

    Hi @bizygirl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that tray 2 of your Officejet 8600 printer is not being recognized.
    I have included the The Printer Does Not Pick Up Paper From Tray 2, or Tray 2 Is Not Recognized document. It will walk you through the required trouble shooting steps for the tray not being recognized.

  • Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?

    Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?
    I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
    Windows XP, all updates installed.

    Hi,
    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.
    Regards.

  • Microsoft Word - Times New Roman will not print from my iMac. People send me Word documents, I must select all and choose another font. How can I fix this?

    When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font.  I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.

    harpnt
    Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
    You'll see the duplicate warning.  Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
    and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES. 
    You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
    RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
    Then try your docs again.
    Any better.

  • I created text in photoshop and it is printing pixelated and not vector.  How do I fix this?

    I created text in a photoshop file and it is printing in pixels, not vecotor.  How do I fix this?

    Hello, and welcome to the forum.
    What file format did you use? Some types don't allow for vector content.
    For more info on vector versus raster (that is, pixels), you may want to read "Raster & Vector" at http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/keyconcepts/articles/concept_raster.html

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

  • When i print a pdf the imige print reversed like a negative.  How can i correct this?

    when i print a pdf the image print reversed like a negative.  How can i correct this?

    Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

    Yes, I've that and it didn't work. Today, I reinstalled printer software on one printer and the "paused" message changed to "offline". It's a three-in-one printer. I turned off and on again and it still says "offline"
