Troubleshooting

Cause: The print paper type setting is incorrect.

Solution: Change the paper type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the input tray. The HP All-in-One automatically detects the paper type for plain and photo paper. If you are printing on other types of paper, such as labels or transparencies, check that you have selected the correct paper type in the HP Photosmart Software.

“Set the paper type for printing” on page 31
