I changed my setting to print envelopes. Then I changed everything back to letter and normal. When I click print the settings keep bring up the setting for envelopes. #10. The printer, and setting in windows default all say letter, but I still have to change from envelope #10 to letter every time I print. I can't see anything set for this. I want to click print and have letter already set for me like normally. I already downloaded HP updates, windows updates, restarted the printer. Taken all paper out shutdown and restart. When I click print, I still have to manually change the print setting to letter again. 🤕🤕😖😭

Places to check include:
Load Media setting on the Printer Control Panel
When you change the media (paper), be sure you select the "Change" / "Modify" setting on the printer front panel so you can update the paper / size setting.
Open the paper tray, wait a couple of seconds, close the tray and look for the setting displayed on the printer control panel.
User Guide > Load Media - Page 11
Printing Preferences
Change the "Printing Preferences" to a current shortcut - this can be one of the provided "templates" or a "custom shortcut" you have created with "Save As".
Examples
Set the Preferences
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on your printer > Printing Preferences >
Tab Printing Shortcuts > Click / Highlight preferred shortcut > Click Apply > Click OK to exit
If the printer software supports the feature, change the settings as desired, then use “Save as” to create a Custom Shortcut.
OR
Windows key + S (search for) Printers and Scanners
Left-Click on (your) Printer > Manage >
Printing Preferences
Select a shortcut and / or set “preferred settings” for paper, source (tray), other settings
Optional (if / as available): Save As > enter a name for your custom shortcut
Click OK to save the preferences
Check / Adjust the Paper at the Printer Panel
Open Printer Tray, add desired paper type
Close Tray
IF applicable for your printer:
On the printer control panel, Click Modify (wording varies), set the paper size and type, Click OK
NOTE: If the size of the Paper Size is not in the Drop-down list, Select Custom
