How do I change printer setting from metric to inches.  Have tried everything and it keeps defaulting back to metric.

Go to "Devices and Printers" in Control Panel

 

right click on the printer in question and select "printer properties"

 

Make changes to settings in there, click OK or apply after making them, now they should be permanent.

 

Other settings can be made by opening HP Solution Center software that is on the start menu, or use the touchscreen on the printer itself.

 

Detailed Manuals for your OJ8500 can be found by starting on this page

Thanks for the reply.  I tried that and the apply button would not work.  I kept searching and finally found it under "Language".  The setting is now in inches.

Hello timturn. What do you require assistance with? Please provide me with all relevant information to assist you (model numbers, exact metrics, etc).
