Trying to print name tags with avery 74520 on my hp 6310 and get rejected because of incorrect paper size...what do i set it for?

You have not really provided enough information to properly answer your query. However, a couple of things to check. Did you set the right page size when printing? Was the size of the item being printed able to fit on the paper size chosen? Finally, did you ensure the page format was correct - eg: as in a landscape shaped original on to perhaps a portrait shaped paper?

try going to driver printing preferences /paper or paper/quality tab and set your size for custom and to the 4 x 6 specific size for that sheet and the type as labels for tray 1.

go to file/print/properties, Paper/Quality Tab-if 74520 is not there, click on custom button, type in Avery 74520. size 4.30 x 11, save & click ok. exit properties then go back to file/print/properties, select Avery 74520 from list, then go to effects tab select print from document button which should show Avery 74520 in the text box to the right. click ok and print.

You have to setup printer details, not to sure of programme, if word try looking under mailings/envelopes. There you have the choice to alter the details of the item you wish to use as a template. Good luck.

first change the page layout setting in the document to envelop size then try to print ..... go to page layout size option the change the paper size to envelop then try to print ......

Check the paper size setting when you set up the printer. Check page setup in File menu and specify the page size.

Make sure you check the settings in the print driver. Sounds like your paper size settings do not match the size of the paper that you are printing onto and you are actually getting a false jam because the machine is seeing a different size paper then you ahve in it.
