You need to go into the paper setup on the printer and make sure that it is set for plain letter. The error you are getting is your printer thinking it does not have the correct paper loaded for the print job you sent.

Linda,
On printer check media/paper type tray 2 or 3 is plain and tray 2/3 is set for letter paper size too, via printer control panel. Also check under paper handling other options for tray 1, also on tray 2 and 3, I think there is a blue little round switch on left should be set as letter not custom.
Some paper types cannot be feed from anywhere else but tray1/bypass ie labels/laminate/card stock.
Check print driver on pc has tray 3 option installed and is not set as default to print to manual bypass/tray 1
light flashing cause printer wants paper type/size that it "thinks" it hasn't got in tray 2/3
If that dont cover it...post back

It is asking for an envelope. Check your page setup and/or your tray configuration. Also make sure your paper stops in the tray is set at the type of paper it is for.

hi ray, it's chris. i called your cell phone, but figured you might see this. replace the registration clutch. after some research, this seems to be the solution given that should solve the issue in that printer, and it's an independant part from the paper pickup assembly...

Most likely your paper tray feed roller is becoming worn or just dirty.
Remove the paper tray and lift up the front of the printer. On the left side in the port where the tray was you should see a half moon shaped rubber roller with what looks like tire tread on it. Look at the steel shaft that goes thru it. One the end is a small clip that is part of the roller. Lift up on the tab and pull the roller off the shaft. You can then scrub it with a cloth and some glass cleaner. To reinstall just snap it back on the way it came off and this should solve your issue. If you notice when you have the roller out that on one edge the tread is worn smooth then you may need to replace it.
Good Luck.

You have the settinigs on the printer wrong. There are two things you need to do:
1. Open the tray and check that the paper guides are set to 8.5 x 11 (letter). There are both length and width guides in the paper tray, and EXEC size is quite a bit off from letter-it is more than 0.5 inch narrower than letter. It is also shorter than letter.
2. On the printer, use the settings button to navigate to the paper size. (The exact wording may vary; it's been a while since I worked on a 4050. It may be under print settings.) Once you find the paper size menu, configure tray 2-yes, I'm sure-to use letter size, any type. By the way, on HP lasers, tray 1 is the fold down tray on the front, tray 2 is the tray that will hold 500 sheets of paper and is the "drawer" that you load. Don't ask me why they use that numbering system.
