Hi @S3dnnie,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I was looking at the printer specifications in the HP DeskJet GT 5820 User Guide and it did not list legal paper as a supported as a supported paper type, but if it offers legal paper as a Paper Type in the dropdown menu it should be able to print.
I would download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to check the printer software. This tool can diagnose and fix many printing and printer software issues.
Please let me know how it goes, or if you need further assistance.
