Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
True - adjusting the Paper Size and Type are easier to manage on any printer (any brand) that supports a printer display panel.
If your printer model does not include the display panel option (or even if it does),
After you (re)load the paper into the printer,
Adjust / Change the paper settings using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Reminder - HP Smart Mobile: Paper Size & Type must be adjusted before you open the content to be printed
EWS is available in your browser and from within HP Smart.
