I hope this does not seem stupid. How does the printer know when to print legal or letter?

Make sure on printer preference/paper source you select auto in tray 1 and "same as first page" in tray 2 to get it to pull letter and legal on correct pages.

The printer must be told what to do. This is done by the software you are using. So for example if using MS Word and you change the paper settings to legal size, it sends a code to the printer. As long as you have legal paper loaded that's what will print. But if you left the legal paper loaded and changed the settings in Word to 8x11.5, it would print 8x11.5 onto legal sheets.

I think I know what you are asking. Paper selection is software driven, as with most printers. You tell the printer what size to print, the printer knows which tray is which. So you don't have to remember which tray has which kind of paper.

I am not sure. What you should do is print the letter pages first and then print the legal pages next. The printer does not supported having the letter and legal sheets at the same time.

By pressing ok you can print. However the quality of print will be compromised. Had to return the ink

I disagree here with the other answers. I have envelopes in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2, then via the web interface I tell the printer what is in each tray. I've never had to choose during a print job, it just goes to the right tray for envelopes or letter size paper. Just for full disclosure this is on a 8630 and using a Mac. YMMV** Update ** This was done via the AirPrint driver, not the HP driver. See comment below on this for details.

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

There's no real way to know. Too many variables: what you are printing, how much color, what colors, printer. Are you printing in draft or picture. In my experience they last for months, but I don't print a lot and it's mostly draft color.

there is a microchip embedded in the ink cartridge; your printer reads it to show ink levels. You don't 'do' anything with it, it is already installed into cartridges.

the MF8580cdw prints on both sides automatically without having to flip the pages and holds more paper. i have both printers.

I don't know, but you can go to goggle & type both printers in & get information. Hope this helps.

I do not check the date you say, I only put it in the printer and work fine.

Yes, you can tell it what kind of paper is in the manual feed tray in the settings and it will print automatically to either the legal paper in the autofeed tray or the legal paper in the manual feed tray, depending on what you have selected in acrobat or MS Office documents. You can always select which tray to use manually as well through the printer option in the software.

Yes when you set it up you will be able to email it to the printer and it will be waiting

You open the back door, adjust the paper guide, and put in a sheet of paper (or an envelope). Then, when you print, from the print dialog open the printer properties, and you set the Paper Source (probably already set to Automatic, you want to set it to Rear Tray)

Yes it does, I use legal and letter size. If your printing a package that uses letter and legal it doesn't print both. It prints letter or legal as which the program requires.

I don't know, but you can continue to print even if the printer thinks your cartridge is empty. Just rapidly press the button 7 times in a row, and you will see the LEDs light up. This puts it into a mode that prints no matter what, regardless of toner remaining.

It automatically pops open when you hit print on computer. You can leave it open or close it if you wanted to. I usually close it after it's done printing. Every time I press print it opens up automatically.
