Stuck on 4x6 Paper size from Airprint on Iphone 14
So, this is actually a problem WITH the solution. I have been struggling with this for months. I was able to print just fine from my iphone / ipad for years, and then at some point we tried to print a photo on photo paper (which of course I had the wrong kind of photo paper) so that didn't work, but nonetheless after that, I couldn't print to regular sizes from any mobile device anymore. It works fine from laptops, but not from iphones/ipads etc.
I read forum after forum and I couldn't find the answer, the options wouldn't show up on my iphone, it was set to 4x6, with no other options. I tried solution after solution, including downloading the HP smart app, nothing worked. BTW it's an HP LaserJet MFPMD77dw but I think this will apply to lots of people who seem to still be having this problem out there.
Here was the solution:
- Open printer/settings --> options&supplies --> show printer webpage (that link doesn't work, you can look on your printer for the printer IP address and just pop that IP address into your web browser, it will likely give you a warning saying that it's unsecure, so just say yes to that link and continue to the printer webpage)
- On the printer webpage you need to go to SYSTEM --> Paper Setup
- Something obviously went wrong somewhere along the line and forced these defaults in Tray 1 to 4x6, Photo paper, instead of "Any paper" -- so just switch the settings back to "Any Paper" / "Any size" and then -->Apply
That fixed it for me and now all my iphone/ipad devices print fine again. Thank goodness.
