Even though the icon on the printer shows the envelopes entering the printer narrow side first, you have to set the printer up for, and feed the envelopes through, wide side first.

The first thing to check is to see if you have the right paper or envelope size in the printer settings. HP is unforgiving on this. this solved my problem.

My HP C7180 says mismatch when trying to print DL envelopes. It has worked in the past.

CHECK THE PRINT SETTINGS FOR THE DOCUMENT YOU ARE SENDING TO THE PRINTER YOU MAYBE TRYING TO SEND IT AS A LETTER SIZE INSTEAD OF DL SIZE. YOU CAN FIND THIS IN THE PRINTER PROPERTIES WHEN PRINTING THE DOCUMENT CHECK PAPER SIZE.

HP Photosmart Premium c309a series smudging wedding invitation envelopes badly. I can print the invitations and everything else just fine. Any suggestions? Thank you.

when you go to print your envelope and click the print command - a window will open with the name of your printer and a box that says properties. click on properties. Change the type of envelope stock to match what you are printing on in the next window. If you are using photo paper envelope with a glossy finish, make sure that is the print media you have set for your printer. If not, the ink will just keep smudging. it's very important to match the print stock (matte, glossy, premium ect).

Paper size mismatch for A9 envelope (5.75x8.75)

Set the envelope size in the printer properties paper size list to A5 (5.83 x 8.27) which is only .08 inches wider than the short side of an A9 envelope (5.75 inches). The paper size sensor on the HP6520 printer must not be sensitive enough to tell the difference. I can print A9 envelopes just fine using the A5 setting.

How can I print envelopes on my HP C5180. I've had it over 2 years and have never been able to get it to print any size envelopes. I always get a 'paper mismatch' message. HP tech support has never...

I tried all of the suggestions on here and nothing worked. My envelopes are 5x7.3. So, I finally just put in 5x7 and lo and behold, even though there truly was a paper mismatch this time since that was NOT the size of the envelopes, they printed. I did have to move the text boxes some to make them print correctly. So, I guess the solution for my printer is to actually mismatch the size of the paper/envelope so that you will NOT get the "paper mismatch" error message. Will it work on other size envelopes? I have no clue. This is the first time I've ever been able to print an envelope at all with this printer that I've had 2 or 3 years.

I get a paper mismatch when trying to print envelopes in Stamps.com, what can I do to fix it??

SPENT THREE HOURS DOING THE INSANE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEN I DECIDED TO TELL THE STAMPS.COM CONFIGURE THAT IT PRINTED A TRIANGE WHEN IF FACT THE PRINTER ERROR MESSAGE"Paper mismatch.” SHOWED UP ON THE HP MESAGE MONITOR.
I THEN CONTINUED THRU THE PROMPTS ON STAMPS.COM SOFTWARE AND CONFIRED THAT "ALL FOUR" ITEMS PRINTED ON THE ENVELOPE WHILE IN FACT IT DID NOT. THIS GET YOU THRU THE "CONFIGURE PRINTER" SETUP. THEN I SELECTED "PRINT PREVIEW" AND PRINT TEST ENVELOPE AND IT WORKED!! HOPE THIS HELPS. I HAVE NOW PRINTED 30 ENVELOPES,ALL OK.

Paper jam when trying to print envelopes.

You need to make sure that your print sriver setting match the setting on the printer itself.

If setting are changed on the printer itself to envelopes then when you go to print click preferences button on print screen and look for a place to change paper type (usually defaulted to letter size.) Change paper type to envelpoes and click ok. Click ok again on print screen and it should print correctly.

Paper types must be configured the same on the device as well as the print driver installed on the computer.

Hope this helps
