Cannot change paper size to copy or scan from 4x6

[nikk21]

I have used this printer for about a week without problem until now.  I printed a 4x6 photo out and now I can't get it to change the paper size back on the printer to copy or scan a regular size paper.  It will print from my computer on regular paper size.  Any ideas?

Hi,

Please open and close the input paper tray and evaluate the shown prompt, click No and change it to Plain Paper / US Letter or A4 if the paper type or size are wrong.

Fro your PC open the HP Officejet 4650 software, select the Scan tab and click on Scan a document or photo.

Ensure the Page Size is set as expected as A4 or US Letter and try scanning.

If the printer is on the network, adjust / set the defaults for Copy and Paper Size.

If you like, use Webscan to scan simple documents / image files.

Open your favorite browser > enter the printer IP on the address bar / URL >

Settings > Copy Settings > Default Settings

EWS_Settings_Copy_1 

Open your favorite browser > enter the printer IP on the address bar / URL >

Settings > Preferences > Paper Settings 

Open your favorite browser > enter the printer IP on the address bar / URL >

Scan > Webscan > Adjust settings and scan

The "scan" settings are likely just stuck / left-over from a previous job set.

Adjust the settings for the current job to match what you need.

EXAMPLE  HP Scan Extended 

Adjust Page Size to "Auto Detect Size", size of paper, or "Entire Scan Area"

EXAMPLE: Printer Assistant shortcut icon on Desktop > Scan Document or Photo

Adjust Scan Size Area to size of document or "Entire Scan Area"

Depending on your Operating System version (and printer model), there are several methods and programs are available to supplement your printer’s Scan capabilities!

Did not solve the problem.  I am having the same problem with the HP OfficeJet 4566 when copying .   I changed settings to Envelope #10 to print envelopes and then could not change setting back to letter size to make a copy .  Just kept informing me I had incorrect paper to print an envelope.  Settings could not be changed on the control panel of the printer.

Settings are set correctly when viewing them on the computer through windows.  Any other suggestions.....
