Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that your printer is printing on the wrong paper sizes, I am glad to assist you.

This seems to be a driver issue, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.

  • In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
  • Select your HP printer.
  • Select Uninstall.
  • In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
  • In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
  • Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
  • Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
  • Click on Drivers tab.
  • Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
  • Select OK.
  • Remove all instances of the same.
  • Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
  • Close Devices and Printers. 
  • Restart the PC again.

Download and install the printer using the HP Smart app

By trial and error I found out that the photo paper had a slight curve to it so I carefully rolled it to remove the curvature.  I only placed 4sheets of photo paper in the tray so it was not a heavy load of paper that would flatten out the curved paper.  After flattening out the photo paper, the printer started  selecting the  photo paper tray and not the  8.5 x 11 “ sheet pAper.  Thanks for the help.
