the printer will not accept the page size of the avery labels. Avery # 74457 & refuses to print.  I am using the Avery software to format the labels but the printer doesn't like it. I appreciate some help. Thanks rcoombs.

Hi! @rcoombs, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

 

I understand you have issue printing Avery labels from your printer.

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Have you tried printing using a different brand Avery label?

 

Please try the steps recommended below.

 

Check the paper size setting to make sure it matches the paper you want to print.
   NOTE:
Some printers have an option to ignore the error and continue printing. If you choose to ignore the error, the margins on your printout might not be proportional to the edges of the paper.
In the program, you want to print from, click File, and then click Print.
Make sure your printer is in the Name or Printers drop-down list box, and then click Properties, Printer Properties or Preferences.
Click the Paper/Quality tab.
Click Advanced, if necessary, and then click Paper Size.
Select the paper size that matches the size and type of paper loaded in the printer tray, and then click OK. If there are no matching paper sizes, select the size from the list that is closest to the size of the paper loaded in the tray.
Click OK, and then try to print.
   NOTE:
If you are printing envelopes, you might need to change the mail settings of the program you are printing from in addition to adjusting print settings in the driver. For information on changing envelope settings in Microsoft Word, see How do I adjust the envelope settings in Microsoft Word? in the FAQ section of this document.

 

Refer this article to further troubleshoot paper mismatch errors.

 

 

Let me know if this helps!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂

Hi Mr Robot,

I am trying to print Avery labels #74457. They are 2 1/4x3 1/2 inch badges, 4 badges per sheet. My printer does not

have a paper size that matches this. How can I fix this problem? Richard.

@rcoombs, Thanks or your quick response and time.

 

As have checked the printer specifications and your printer can only print the listed labels.

 

Letter-sized sheets
216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11.0 inches)
A4-sized sheets
210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches)

 

Refer the printer specifications for more information.

 

 

Hope this answers your query!

 

Take Care! 🙂
