Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Could you please help me with the exact model name or the product number?

And the operating system of your computer to assist you better.

 

Keep me posted.

Have a great day!

Cheers:)

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

Let's try to change the settings on printer properties.

  1. In Windows, search for and open the Control Panel.

  2. Click Devices and printer.

  3. Right-click on the printer.

  4. Select printer Preference.

  5. Under the paper source select as desired.

Click on ok and try to print.

 

Keep me posted, how it goes!

Have a great day!

Cheers:)

Tried it but didn't work.

Luckily what worked was restarting my computer then for some reason Tray 2 appeared in the Preferences part of Printer.
