Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If you have not done so, tell the printer about the paper you are using.

The printer lacks a printer display panel that might be used for this purpose -

Instead, use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to adjust / check the Paper Size & Type.

 

EWS is available from your browser or from within HP Smart.

 

Reminder

HP Smart Mobile requires that you set / adjust the paper size / type before opening the content to be printed.

 

Example - Check / Adjust Paper Size & Type - Tray and Paper
