Paper size error

I just updated my HP software (printer is an HP Office JetPro 8500 A910) abdout 2 weeks ago. Since then, when I try to print from either of my iPads, I get the following error on trhe printer "Paper size or type is incorrect. Press OK to cancel job". Both iPads are running IOS 8 (one is 8.0.1 the other is 8.1) The same job prints fine from my PC. How can I revert to the previous level of software?
This question was solved.

Hi @BobsK
I know this might sound strange, but I think the following steps will resolve the issue;
Please leave the printer on and unplug the power cable, then turn off both of the iPads Reconnect the printer, turn on the iPads and try printing again.
The strange thing is, I think this error is a result of a communicate issue. I don't know this error appears, it seems kinda deceiving to me, but if I recall this solution might do the trick.
Please let me know if the issue persists, or is resolved. If you require further assistance I will happily do all I can to help.

How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards? It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

Hi @aleek,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

Photosmart 375 paper size error msg

My Mac has OS X 10.10.1. When I attenpt to print on my portable photosmart 375, I receive the error message "Paper is too small. Choose a larger paper size." I believe I should be choosing 4x6 size in the print dialog box on my computer, and the same in the printer's menu, since that is the size of the photo paper for this small printer. However, in the print dialog box on my computer, no photo size options (4x6, 5x7) come up, only Letter, A4, etc. As for the printer's menu, the HP manual states that I can select "paper size" choosing Menu -> Help -> Paper Size, but the list of options under Help on the printer's menu gives all that the manual states should be there EXCEPT "paper size". I have manually downloaded the latest Mac updates for hp printers. I have reset the printer to default settings. I appreciate any help you can give.

Hi @penelopem,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart 375 is giving you a paper size error message. I am happy to help you with this issue!
Please take a look through this guide, Changing Print Settings in Mac OS X, and follow the 10.8 steps.
Otherwise, if that does not work you can probably use the printer as a standalone using the memory card slots. Troubleshooting Memory Cards.
For future reference, your printer's user guide can be found at this website, HP Photosmart 375 Compact Photo Printer User guides.
The last suggestion is to consider upgrading your printer to one that has full feature software and drivers available for Mac OS X 10.10. If you wish to do so, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836 for your upgrade options. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope this information helps!

HP 7410 All-in-one - incorrect paper size error

When I print envelopes thatb are not a standard size I get an error before each envelope prints saying the paper size does not match up. I make sure I enter in exactly the size of the envelope but it still stops before eacvh envelope. this is so annoying when I print a 100 envelopes at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution? I have two lights in the resume section, and the one blinking is the on that looks like a black water drop. I thought it might be the ink, and I just went out and bought a b/w, and color cartridge. That didn't work. I've opened and looked through the back and the front, and I can't find any paper. I read somewhere that I should delete the software, and re upload. I deleted it, and thought I had the software...yep, I don't dummy me. Now I need the software for it...it always seems to happen when I need it most. I've also noticed that everything stalls to print, when I use quick print.

Photosmart c7180 paper jams & wrong paper size errors

About 5 weeks ago I bought an ASUS computer with Windows 7, 64 bit and installed the drivers for my printer from the hp website. The printer is hooked up to my wireless network. No problem. 3 weeks later I have constant paper jams, I did the standard clean out paper, clean dust off of rollers and while on, unplug plug from back of printer then from outlet and wait a bit then plug back in. I was able to print a test page then it started happening again, sometimes reporting a paper jam error, sometimes a wrong size paper error, and sometimes an out of paper error. I also noticed that the rollers seem to be trying to grab the paper really fast (faster than they normally did). I have had this printer for many years-not even sure how many-and have hardly had an issue with it ever. I love it.

HI CFox,
Here is the link to the support document for paper jams for your printer. This is the most comprehensive document for paper jams on your printer. Let us know if this works for you or not.

Paper Size Error: The specified custom paper size is not supported in the selected tray.

This happens when I try to print a web page using firefox. When I copy and paste the same yrl into safari and select that page in Safari it prints without a problem.

Hello Bhumika2 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues with paper sizes.
Seeing that the operating system is 10.5, the printer is not supported on this version. I suggest that you check for apple updates and see if anything is available.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

C5280 printer paper size error

It wont let me change the paper size in the features section. I want to custom size the paper and it wont let me hit ok after putting in the size I need. It says the custom paper size that you have defined will not become available until you have exited and re entered the printing preferences/properities Im not sure what this means.

I can't get anything to save. I exit and return, and the custom paper size I set up won't show up. I hate this printer and will never buy another hp.

Paper Size Error: The paper size selected in the printer driver software does not match the paper

HPofficejet 7500 E910
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I see this question several times, and one response asking the person to have patience.. however that was in February - it is now April, and i am not able to locate an actual answer to this question. My printer is also giving me this error (Officejet Pro 8000 -A809w), even though is it very obviously not true. I have unplugged and replugged and restarted, etc. I am trying to print on a regular landscape oriented 8.5x11 sheet of paper. The last thing i printed was a single envelope (also appropriately chosen in page setup), with the paper guides narrowed.. the envelope printed and i moved the guides back to the normal position and replaced the letter sized paper. Now the printer tells me that's not what i've done.
Running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 - it worked fine all day til now. It's done this a time or two previously, but unplugging the printer has solved it - not this time.
Help!

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.

Pixma 330 fax output error check paper size

I received a fax on my Pixma 330. The document came through fine, but now I have "fax output error, check paper size and press OK". The paper size is correct, and when I press OK, it prints out the original document again, then gives me the same error message. If I turn off the machine, when I turn it back on, it again prints the document, then gives me the error message. The machine will not let me do anything except press OK. How can I get this to go away? Thanks.

Hi JWK,
Please make sure that the paper is loaded correctly and the settings are correct. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Note
Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See Paper is curled..
To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
- When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the package, and keep it on a level surface.
- Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
2. Load the paper.
(1) Open the Paper Support, raise it, then tip it back.
(2) Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.
(3) Slide the Paper Guides (A) to open them, and load the paper in the center of the Rear Tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU
Important
Always load paper in the portrait orientation (B). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (C) can cause paper jams.
(4) Slide the Paper Guides (A) to align them with both sides of the paper stack.
Do not slide the Paper Guides too hard. The paper may not be fed properly.
Note:
Do not load sheets of paper higher than the Load Limit Mark(D).
After loading paper
When using the machine to copy or print without a computer, select the size and type of the loaded paper in Page size and Media type of the settings screen in each mode.
If you continue to have difficulties, please contact our support group using the following link:

MF8580 prints two pages, then gives paper size and settings mismatch error. Help!

Hello, I have been dealing with this problem for weeks now. When i called support, they told me it was my computer, that it was "running slow" and that i need to pay for their service - that fixing errors in my registry would fix the problem. However, i have my own registry cleaner and that isnt the problem. Every time i print something, the printer will print the first two pages, and then beep, giving me the error "paper size and settings mismatch Drawer 1" - I have everything set to letter - in the driver, on the printer, etc. I do nto understand why it prints two pages and then tells me there is a mismatch. If i open and close the drawer, it will print the second page again and then the third page, and give me the same error again. rinse and repeat. This also happens when multiple documents are spooled. I send three - one page documents, it will print the first and second, give me the error, i open and close the paper drawer 1, then it prints document two and three - then gives me the same error - i open and reclose and it prints the thrid document... I am just baffeled.

HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF.
Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct. I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF. Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
I've tried all I can think of. Does anyone have any further suggestions? Could it be a fault in the ADF?

I can't get the printer to accept a different paper size. I'm trying to print on 6.5x10.

I have an HP 8600 All-in-One and am printing from a Mac running 10.6. I changed the page setup to 6.5x10, but keep getting a message that the printer and document paper sizes don't match.
