I have tried all the solutions that I came across on the internet for this issue but nothing works, I have reset the printer several times, I have checked printer settings multiple times and it is set to A4 paper and the paper I put in the tray is also A4 but the issue persists and whenever I try to print anything "E1" error comes up and printer cannot print anything, the only time it can print anything is when I photocopy a document manually by placing a document on the scanner and pressing the photocopy button, but even that is messed up and the size of the document photocopied is the same size as a letter.
Solved! Go to Solution.
