Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are unable to print on legal size paper. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

When did this issue start?

Did you do any hardware or software changes?

How is the printer connected to computer, wired or wireless?

Which operating system is installed on the computer?               

 

Meanwhile

 

If you are trying to print from Windows computer, follow the below steps.

Create the new custom paper size

To set up the new custom paper size, create the new size in the printer software.

  1. Search Windows for devices, and then click Devices and Printers in the list of results.

  2. Click the icon for your printer, and then click Print server properties.

       NOTE:

    If Print server properties does not display, right-click an empty area in the Printers window, select Run as administrator from the drop-down menu, and then select Server Properties.

  3. If the User Account Control window displays, click Continue.

  4. On the Forms tab, select the Create a new form check box, and then type a name for the new paper size in Form name.

       NOTE:

    You must choose a different, unique name for the new custom paper size. Do not use an existing paper size name.

  5. Select Metric or English, and then type the dimensions of your custom paper in the Width and Height text boxes.

To begin printing on the custom paper size, select the new size for the print job.

  1. Load the custom-size paper into the paper input tray.

  2. Open the item you want to print.

  3. Click File, and then click Print.

  4. In the Print window, click Preferences, Properties, or Printer Properties.
