Apparently this is one of many common problems with this model here's what some people had to say about it: This printer is a piece of garbage. It worked ok the first time or two, but after that forget it. Even though it has paper, it won't print and says it's out of paper. It will click and make all sorts of odd noises and if it does grab a sheet in the feeder it will often grab multiple sheets and jam. On top of that, even though it has nearly a full ink cartridge, every 2 seconds it flashes an extremely annoying error message that it has to print in backup mode because it's out of ink. 99% of the entire time that I've had this printer the blasted red error light is blinking. IF you can get it to print at all you're lucky. Usually I give up. Save your money and buy a different printer. I bought this printer in November of 2005. I haven't used it all that much and it's been treated with care and today for no reason whatsoever, I started eating the paper like a monster and making a horrible clicking noise. I actually looked on here to see if there was any hope of being able to repair it but I don't think I am in any luck after reading all the other reviews. I actually liked this printer but I don't anymore and I wouldn't recommend buying one. It's crap--if you're spending 100 bones--get your money's worth and buy the HP PSC 2210 all in one. You won't regret the extra cash. looks like a lot of unhappy customers there and unfortunately you are one of many hope this helps regards

I have hp photosmart 7850. I was printing envelop and there was paper jam. I pulled out the stock and jammed envelop and ever since the printer would not load paper to prinit and keeps flashing for error....
I have had this happen to several people and also to me. What I did is to take a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy Paper) and put it through the feed putting pressure on the Card Stock and pressing on the feed button. What happens is that a piece of the jammed envlope or document gets caught in the feed way and will not allow the document or envelope ( in your case) to pass. It should solve your problem if it works. Bud

How to print diferent sizes using Pictbridge on HP 7850
What model camera are you using? Normally, once connected, unless the camera has settings for print size and other options the printer will print whatever the default size is.

Ink issue
Normally if it's an ink cartridge problem, you will see there is a small cartridge symbol being shown in the right hand side window. If there isn't a cartidge symbol then it doesn't need a new cartridge. Normally when the red light flashes, it means there is some other problem such as paper jam or no paper! To change the cartridge, open the top of the printer, you'll see the cartridges on the right hand side, they should hopefully just pop out when you pull them GENTLY. To insert a new cartidge, follow the pictures shown and make sure you hear a 'click'.
I am not a techie at all so I hope this helps

Make sure all the drivers have been installed in the control panel of your computer. Let the computer search for an additional driver if it will. Unplug the USB while all is on and give it some time to see if it installs something more. You may have to restart your computer several times with the device USB unplugged and then with everything on plug it back in and see if the computer will recognize it again.
