Context?

That is, what have you tried to change / adjust the setting that is not working?

First answer to this question -

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to adjust / change the paper size / type

See this thread:

Original question

"My printer is stuck on 5x7 print and I don’t know how to change it back to 8x11. "

Next,

All of this is going to work more easily when you have the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installed.

The full driver printer software should be installed in addition to the HP Smart application.

The software / application you are using to view and submit the job can impact how the printer settings are adjusted.

The default Preferred Shortcut as created / set in Printing Preferences impacts how the job setup interprets the paper size and paper type.

Set the Preferences – Windows
