Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

If you are asking why you cannot select Legal size paper, the following is relevant.

 

The printer supports Legal paper as a Custom Size paper size.

This is an older printer -- only MacOS supports Custom Paper sizes.

Why?

That is the way the old drivers were written.
