HP Smart app on iphone and ipad no longer gives me option to print on letter size paper.  Everything that I want to print gets configurated for legal size paper.    I changed the setting on printer to letter size.  but when I hit done it reverts back to legal.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

Try using EWS to update the paper size and type.

HP Smart requires that the paper size / type be adjusted before the content is opened.

 

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

 

EWS – Browser – Tray and Paper Management

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper Management

Select / Adjust settings for Paper Size / Type
