How to get the option of legal size paper for printing on legal size paper on my HP Officejet 4635.

[Darlinglady]

My HP Officejet 4635 Printer does no have an option to choose legal size paper when printing. How can I add a legal size paper option to the print options. I need to print a legal size document.
