Paper mismatch

Wrong paper width

Cannot load paper from input tray

Cause: There is not enough paper in the input tray.

Solution: If the HP Photosmart is out of paper or there are only a few sheets remaining, load more paper in the input tray. If there is paper in the input tray, remove the paper, tap the stack of paper against a flat surface, and reload the paper into the input tray. Follow the prompts on the display or the computer screen to continue your print job.

Cause: Transparencies and some other media require a drying time that is longer than normal.
