How to print 3 3/4 x 6 3/4 sized paper

Sounds like the printer is set up to print a smaller size paper than the sheet size you are actually using. Measure your paper size, then go into the printer settings and choose the sheet size that matches.

Check the paper size in the machine settings. If not you might have to set it for custom size. Measure the paper to be printed and enter the size. You will probably have to put the paper in the manual feed/bypass tray.

I have had some success by converting pdf to jpg and printing from Adobe Photoshop. The HP 500 ps and 500plus are VERY fussy about paper size conflicts.

Hi,

Good day, Regarding the error message that your getting, that means the paper where you want to print that document is not supported by the printer. Usually you'll the see supported paper size if you click the print option or print setup for your printer. The only way to resolve this is to use the appropriate size of paper like.

You can also try this steps to change size for the documents you want to print

>Open the File menu and click Print.
>Click the Settings tab
>Click on Paper Size. A list of paper sizes will appear
>Select the size you want.
>If none of the selections are suitable, select Custom. A box will appear inviting you to set your
own measurements. Enter the width and length that you want.
>Click OK.


These are the usual paper size use. It's 8 1/2 by 11 inches and the other one that you could use in most printers is 8 1/2 by 14. The first one is known as Letter size, the other one is known as Legal size. Hope this information help in resolving your issue. Have a great day.

Make sure the correct paper size is set in the print settings on your computer. Click the Properties button on any Windows print dialog. On Mac you can select paper size in the Print Settings pane in any expanded print dialog.

This printer can
detect transparencies that were not designed for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.

Your program should have a section in page setup to manage custom sizes. Enter this size. set size in your printer dialogue box and away you go! Inkypete

Go to custom setting, paper size setting for by pass tray, use custom measurement,input the size of the envelopes ( in X Y mode ). When you print, go to the properties and change the paper tray select from auto to by pass tray.
Good luck.

Sounds like the configured paper sized does not match the actual paper page height. So that when it does Top Of Form paper movement the paper stops slightly too low. Doing several form feeds should confirm this. If this is it then reconfigure the paper size to match the paper. Also measure to paper to see if it matches what you want it to be.

hi galeinna,

I suggest you make sure that your printer is configured to print to the correct type of paper. I assume you are trying to print to A4 size paper.

If you are using Windows XP you can follow these steps to configure the printer:

1. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes
2. Right-click on the 942 printer icon and click on Printer
preferences.
3. Click on the Paper Setup tab and select the A4 type at
Paper Size.

If this doesn't fix the problem with the print output, I suggest you download the latest version of the 942's driver at
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_ALL_A942&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=
and reinstall the printer using this driver.

Hope you find this info helpful in solving your printer's print output problem and thanks for using the FixYa service
Kind regards
