If you are not standing at the printer so you could use the Printer Control Panel,

Paper Size / Type defaults are actually changed in the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

True - you can open Tray and Paper / EWS settings from within HP Smart.

True - you can usually open EWS from your Web Browser.

 

Reminder

HP Smart Mobile requires that paper size / type is adjusted before the content is opened to be printed.
