HI,

SOLUTION:

1. Perform a semi-full reset on the all-in-one by following the steps below
   

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
   
2. Unplug the power cord from the all-in-one.
   
3. Wait 30 seconds, and plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
   
4. Press and hold the # and 6 buttons on the numeric keypad.
   
5. While still holding the buttons, plug the power cord back in to the all-in-one. Continue to hold the buttons for two seconds, and then release them.
6. Allow the all-in-one to re-initialize. This may take a minute or two.
   
7. If prompts appear in the all-in-one display to set the front panel language and country settings, perform the steps to set this information.
   
8. Insert the card back into the appropriate slot.
   
9. If it does not begin to print a proof sheet automatically, press the Proof Sheet button and follow the normal process for your model to print a proof sheet.
   
10. Once the proof sheet begins to print, press Cancel to stop the proof sheet from printing.
    
11. Use the On button to turn the power off and then back on again.
    The problem should be corrected. If the problem still exists, service your product.

We neeed to manually set the size of the paper in order to print on abaove paper sizes.

Open the HP Solution Center and click on settings >> print settings >> printer settings.

Now select the paper type as plain paper and click OK.

Now click on custom settings and enter the size of the paper and give it a name and click OK.

Now close the solution center and reopen it again.

Now click on settings >> print settings >> printer settings.

Now check whether we have the name that we gave to the custom size previously. Select it and then click OK and then try to print.

There is a workaround for this problem by tricking the printer.
The paper sensor, on my printer model hp4500 seems to only sense the paper at the beggining of the print job.
What I did to trick the printer to print on odd size paper is slide the paper adjuster to 8.5 and put a regular white sheet in. Then put your odd size paper under it. When you print your document set the number of copies to 2 and print. The printer is going to sense that the paper is correct, and start the job.
Here is the tricky part... once the first 8.5x11 sheet is almost all the way through quickly slide the paper adjuster over to match the size of your odd width paper. The printer should pick up the odd paper and print the second copy. Fool you printa! You should be able to do batches of odd paper size under the first 8.5X11. I hope this helps.

Any error messages on the printer digital screen or the desktop? I take it the "The ink is fine" means that there is ink in the cartridges!

Try a test print via the Control Panel> Printers and Faxes> properties > Print test page.
