I can't print a invitation on my hp printer 4630

SOURCE: paper mismatch

Hi kingwa55,

I have an hp photosmart c4480 and was having the same problem printing wedding invitations. Same size 5.5"x8.5'. Im not sure if this will work on your printer, but this is what I had to do.

Click on Print, then Properties, then features.
About half way down there is a drop down box under sizing options.
Click on custom
Create a name, and put your width and height in.
Click Save and then OK
Completely X out of the print options.
Then Click
File, print, properties,features, click the drop down box under sizing options.
Click more and scroll to the bottom and it should be there.

If your options are different then mine, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

I got around this problem by tricking the printer.
The paper sensor, on my printer model hp4500 seems to only sense the paper at the beggining of the print job.
What I did to trick the printer to print on odd size paper is slide the paper adjuster to 8.5 and put a regular white sheet in. Then put your odd size paper under it. When you print your document set the number of copies to 2 and print. The printer is going to sense that the paper is correct, and start the job.
Here is the tricky part... once the first 8.5x11 sheet is almost all the way through quickly slide the paper adjuster over to match the size of your odd width paper. The printer should pick up the odd paper and print the second copy. Fool you printa! You should be able to do batches of odd paper size under the first 8.5X11. I hope this helps.

I think it's more or less the same on Mac or PC. Hit Print in your software, then when the dialogue box comes up you should see several options settings. There will be a pull-down menu that lets you choose paper size. (This menu is sometimes buried in another sub menu called "printer options" or something similar. It can be tricky to find this in some apps like Photoshop). Just select your 5x8 size and then at the top of the dialogue box you should be able to save it all as a preset. Pull down the "preset" tab and select "Save As..." then you can name it and pull it up each time later.
Hope this works.
