HP ENVY 5032 All-in-One Printer

My printer and my mobile will not let me change the size from A4 to 4X6. I have put 4x6 photo paper in the printer and adjusted the plastic fittings to secure the paper. 
and it still won’t print on the photo paper to size! Help. I have wasted so much a photo paper trying to get this sorted.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

The printer is perhaps not aware of the paper you are wanting to use.

 

Reminder: HP Smart - Mobile - Tray and Paper settings must adjusted before opening the object to be printed.

 

First

 User Guide

Pages 10 and 11

Note Step 6 (on page 11).

 

Right after the paper is loaded and the drawer is closed, look for a message on the printer to modify the paper size / type.

 

OR

If you dislike typing on tiny Printer Control Panel, or for any other reason,

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to Check / Adjust the Paper Size & Type - Tray and Paper

 

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
