Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Where is "stupid orange triangle"??

 

AND

There are Thousands of HP printer models -- if you know (and tell us) which model you have, someone might be able to provide some proper guidance.

 

=====================================

A guess..

 

Without context, it sounds like the Printer is not detecting (know about) the Tray and Paper paper size and type settings as compared to the job setup / configuration.

 

EWS – Tray and Paper Management

 

Original EWS

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper (Management)

Select / Adjust settings for Paper Size / Type

Model and EWS version Dependent:  Advanced section

Click Apply to save changes

 

OR

Alternate Style EWS

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Section Paper > Trays > click on Tray to configure

And (in addition and as available)

Section Print > Default Print Options > Select default tray

 

 

Tray and Paper – Paper Size / Paper Type / Paper Weight

 

Paper Size, Type, and Weight loaded in the printer tray must be supported for use in that tray.

 

EWS (Embedded Web Server) provides access and control for Settings, including Tray and Paper.

 

Reminder

HP Smart Mobile might require that paper size / type is rechecked / adjusted before the content is opened for print.

 

Notes

Depending on the printer model, the Printer Control Panel touchscreen might provide access to Paper Size / Type settings immediately after the paper is (re)loaded into the appropriate printer intake tray.

 

New printer?  Touchscreen Printer Control Panel locked against making changes?  Try username "admin" and the PIN located on the sticker on the inside of the front door of the printer.

 

Trays

  • If the printer lacks a second tray, all paper / types are supported in the single available tray.
  • Printers that include a Photo Tray generally restrict the paper sizes and paper type supported in that tray.
