A user keeps getting an error message when trying to print a letter. The printer is normally used to print cards and invitations. The user tries printing from a different computer, but the issue…

The correct answer is D. Change the paper tray setting. If a printer is set to use a special tray (for cards/invitations) but a different type of print job is attempted (like a letter), a paper tray setting mismatch can cause errors. Changing the tray setting to match the print media resolves the issue.
