The display shows the wrong language
Cause: You might have selected the incorrect language when setting up the HP Photosmart.
Solution: You can change the language settings at any time from the Preferences menu.

The wrong measurements are showing in menus on the display
Cause: You might have selected the incorrect country/region when setting up the HP Photosmart. The country/region you select determines the paper sizes shown on the display.
Solution: You can change the country/region settings from the Preferences menu. For more information, see:
“Set your language and country/region” on page 13
I received a message on the display that the printer alignment failed
Cause: The incorrect type of paper is loaded in the input tray (for example, colored paper, paper with text on it or, certain recycled paper).
Solution: Load unused plain white letter or A4 paper into the input tray, and then try the alignment again.
If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor on the print head assembly. Contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/support. If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

I received a message on the display about a paper jam or a blocked print head assembly
