I am having the same problem on our Officejet 8600 (paper mismatch error for a simple copy job). This thread says the issue was solved, but the solution was contained in a private message. I'd love to know how to fix this!

Hi onceler1979,

 

You can try a Semi Full Reset.  If successful, this would reset the printer to factory defaults and clear the memory.  If the printer was on a wireless network, it would be taken off and would need to be reconnected.  If you want to give this a try, I can send the steps in a private message to your HP Forums in-box.  I would need you to agree not to publish the steps.  Let me know what you decide.

Hi Rich,

 

Certainly. Please send me the instructions and I agree to not publish or share the info. A reminder that this is an OJ 8600, not the 8500 the original post was about. Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder.  It is important that we are both on the same page.  I have sent the steps to your HP Forums in-box.  Let me know how it goes.

 

Good Luck !

I see this was resolved, but the steps to fix it were sent in a PM.  Can these instructions be sent to me as well?

I have an Officejet Pro 8600 that works wonderfully.  Except i am now getting the paper mismatch error message when I try to copy anything.  As other comments indicate, I am using standard paper as I always have.  Apparently, there is a reset method available.  Can anyone out there help me with this?  Thanks for your help!
