'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.

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 ?

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.

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!!!

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.

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

Receiving a false paper jam error message for a 6310 all in one printer

I have an hp 6310 all in one printer. It is showing a false paper jam error message with no paper in the printer. I have tried all of the fixes that have been suggested on the website as well as on you tube to no avail. Nothing works, I have cleaned all of the parts that have been suggested to clean and reset the printer. I am still receiving the same paper jam message with no paper in the printer. Does anyone have any suggestions to try to fix this printer.

Do you here any clicks or other sounds when the 6310 first starts up?
I'm trying to fix false paper jam error on Sharp Fax/copier,F0-4450.
When researching the problem, found suggestion that a bad solenoid could cause that error.
After completely disassembling the copier found that wasn't the problem.
I here 2 clicks during start up that sounds like gear slipping a tooth, as if something is preventing a shaft from turning.
Back to the drawing board.
UPDATE!!! Took fuser out, turned gears with screwdriver til 81/2x11 paper went thru, lubricated ends of fuser roller with powdered graphite lube.
3 page fax came thru.

Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear? (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

Hey , Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum. I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality. I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable. I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/

False paper jam error message on Officejet All-in-Ones

I've been helping a not-so-techie friend with his J6450 false paper jam errors. He's now on his second one (got replacement from HP) and has same exact problem. (We think the paper sensor is getting stuck and causing error message.)
His problem is by no means unique. I have looked at customer reviews for this printer on many vendors' websites, and have seen horrible reviews of HP's all-in-ones because of the false paper jam error message. By the way, none of the suggestions here seem to fix the problem, so don't waste your time uninstalling and re-installing the software. The problem is mechanical.
With so many posts regarding false paper jam errors on these HP All-in-Ones, HP should replace these printers with a different model that does NOT have this problem, if such a model exists, at no charge, of course.

I have just spent the last 3 hours thinking I have been overlooking paper somewhere in my J6450 after consistently getting a paper jam error. Of course my warranty has expired! Just wondering if it would be worth fixing OR NOT?

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

Windows 7 startup error after uninstall of Photosmart 6510

After uninstalling Photosmart 6510 and software, get error message: "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 6510 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll" when Windows 7 starts up.

Sounds like the software was not completely removed (or atleast Windows still is looking for something). Microsoft make a tool that should be able to help, it is called FixIt. Click the link below for more details:

Paper tray error message HP LaserJet 1102w

Recently my LaserJet 1102w stopped printing duplex; instead, after printing the first side it gives an error message : Paper tray needs to be filled.
The paper tray is full, but I cannot get it to continue printing the other side, no matter what. This has become a huge problem, even when printing single-sided jobs.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Once you place the printed pages back in the input tray, try opening and closing the top cartridge access door to rsume the print job and check if that prints the other side.
Hope that helps,

I get an error message on my Photosmart B210 - "Scanner is busy"

1. Photosmart B210e printer/scanner
2. Mac OS 10.6.8
3. "Scanner is Busy"
4. No changes to systemr since the last time the scanner worked
5. When I try to scan from the computer I receive the above error message. When I try to scan directly from the device, it hangs. The only way I can get the device to shut down is to upplug it.

I have this same problem (exact same printer, same OS) and posted question earlier:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Help-w-Photsmart-all-in-one-Scanner...
Since then, I have also repaired the disk permisisons, reset the printing system, checked for soft ware updates and uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software package (for like the 6th time).
I have no other computers networked to the printer. There are other internet devices using the router though.
I noticed that there are numerous posts about the "Scanner is busy" messgae, but no solutions. The HP experts seem to offer a suggestion, ask for kudos, then disappear.

Actually I was not clear enough. I had to uninstall the 6520 software because I had to purchase a new HP printer. I installed my new printer software and uninstalled the 6520 software. The error message I amreceiving upon starting up my laptop says "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 6520 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll". The specific module could not be found.

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.

I just changed my ink cartridge and now I keep getting "paper mismatch" errors. How do I fix this? T

When you say you can't do the alignment, what happens? Do you get an error message, flashing lights, or no response? The good news is the problems you're describing typically don't indicate a hardware issue that would warrant getting a new printer. Go ahead and try the steps in this document. I'd also recommend unplugging the printer after you've removed the cartridges (per the steps in the document) and gently clean the contacts in the carriage that holds the cartridges.
Let me know if that helps.
