    My operating system is windows 7 and 10 please help.

    Hi @S3dnnie,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I was looking at the specifications of the printer HP DeskJet GT 5820 User Guide and it doesn't list legal document as a support for a type of paper supported, but if it has legal papers for a paper Type in the menu drop down, it should be able to print.

    I download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor to check the printer software. This tool can diagnose and solve many problems of printing software and printer.

    Please let me know how it goes or if you need further assistance.

  • HP Officejet 4622 will not print simple controls because it does not recognize the paper size.

    Product: HP deskjet 4622 All In One

    operating system: Windows 7

    Software used: Quicken Starter Edition 2011

    My printer refuses a single cheque due to the size of the paper being not recognized by the printer. The actual size of the individual audit is 8 1/2 inch wide and 5 1/4 inch from top. There is no size in the settings of the default paper size that matches the paper size... The quicken software print 1, 2 or 3 controls on a sheet so if I print 2 verifies that leavesme with a single cheque that is wasted because my printer does not recognize the size. My previous HP printer did not have this problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    xgdude, unfortunately this printer does not support true custom paper sizes, he acknowledged instead the paper types that are commonly used in the United States. This is because the non-traditional types of paper are difficult for the printer to recognize and inside the right margin of the printing error.

    I hope this information is useful!

  • HP 9500 win 7 custom paper size tray 1

    I have 12 x 18 paper loaded in Tray 1.  The control panel is correctly set.  Our office has a mixture of windows and Mac and have always been able to print on paper 12 x 18, in the #1 tray.  I recently bought a new computer running Win 7 64 bit.  The driver "HP Color LaserJet 9500 PCL 6" of windows does not support custom paper sizes.  I tried to create forms under the print server properties, but custom sizes do not appear when I'm in my applications.  5 PCL and PCL 6 UPD pilots paper 12 x 18 in option, but when I use these drivers of the printer fails to pull the good paper from Tray 1.  With Acrobat, it defaults to 8-1/2 x 11 paper and prints a second sheet indicating:

    PCL XL error

    Subsystem: VECTOR

    WARNING: IllegalMediaSize

    With AutoCad, using the UPD and printing on paper 12 x 18, control panels flashes and asks me to load the A3 paper into Tray #1.  Change the size of the margin in my application doesn't seem to help.

    I'm an architect and paper 12 x 18 is essential.  Thanks in advance.

    After exhausting any permutation of the driver options, I reluctantly installed the PostScript of the UPD driver.  Problem solved!  Printing on paper 12 x 18 in Tray 1 works perfectly.  There is clearly a problem with the UPD PCL5 and PCL6 drivers.

  • Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP that gives the message 'unexpected paper size ".

    In recent months, when I print a set of envelopes, after EACH envelope my printer gives me a message "unexpected paper size".  This forces me to press the 'OK' button to continue to the next task.  After that, the printer goes into a long routine of 'cleaning up' before printing the next envelope.

    The printer is behaving that way when it was new.  He started to do this only in the last few months.  If I print an envelope, between two printing on standard paper 8 1/2 "x 11" does not display the "unexpected paper size".

    And by the way, what is the problem with HP, saying that the cat is not available for my product and support pages e-mail not recognizing my product number?  Just because a machine is a couple of years, HP is going to abandon me entirely to my own when it malfunctions?

    Fixed it myself.

    I have restored the default settings, and the problem disappeared.  Press the "Setup" button, then choose "Service, Restore Defaults".

    Unfortunately, these forums seem pretty useless.

  • HP6510 - Paper Size Mismatch - all settings are Correct

    Hi - I know that there is a support for this position, but it did not solve my problem.

    I am trying to print wedding invitations on Premium paper with a custom size of 5.85 5.85 x. I have adapted to print settings:

    • Custom size: 5.85 5.85 x
    • Paper source: main sandbox (although I tried all 4 options at this stage)
    • Type of paper: 'Other', 'Plain' and various combos - all without success tried

    t\The wedding invitations came with a model by default, automatically imported into correct sizes to the Microsoft Word document. When I print using 8.5 x 11 on regular paper, it is fine. When I change to the custom 5.85 5.85 x size, it does not print.

    I have the main tray aligned to the exact width of 5.85, and he still refuses to prnt. He continues to throw the error "paper mismatch".

    Help, please!

    The driver for the Photosmart 6510 does not support custom paper sizes. You will need to use another driver to make it work. I'll link the steps below.

    Hello. I am writing from Japan.

    B5 is a paper based on Japanese traditional paper format.
    The A4 is now major in the Japan, B5 is always used
    and I sometimes print with paper B5 and bind to the B5 file.
    B5 is smaller than the A4, but size 1: 1.4 ratio the same as A4.

    Now, the problem is:
    "Although I change the paper size of the preview window,
