On my parents computer they use a HP Photosmart D7260 Printer and I'm trying to print off on photo paper but for some reason it keeps on feeding from the main tray I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this i've been though all the settings changed the paper to the right kind , in all the options, there's no reason why it should not work. Can any one give me any ideas how to fix this?

  • Photosmart C4180 does not pick up 10x15 photopaper from the photo paper cassette

    What can I do to get the printer to pick up 10x15 photo paper from the photo paper cassette? It wil only print when feeding one piece of photo paper at a time. This is tedious and annoying. No problems with ordinary paper.

    Hello Mr. Wilks,
    I am sorry to read about the issue you are having with your new Photosmart 6520 not picking up 4x6 paper. I understand you have cleaned the rollers and that did not resolve the problem. I have researched this and have found a couple of documents that I recommend you look at to ensure all of the print settings are correct when printing on a 4x6 or any other size you wish to print on.
    I am unsure if you have a Windows or a Mac computer, therefore I will post 2 different links for you to look at depending on which operating system you have.
    Here is the document for troubleshooting on Windows: Printing Photos Saved on Your Windows Computer
    Here is the document for troubleshooting on a Mac: Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Mac)
    I really hope this helps you, feel free to respond if there is anything else I can help with!

  • Printing photos from the HP Photosmart 6515- won't pick up the photo paper

    I am trying to print photos from my HP Photosmart 6515. I have loaded the photo paper as the videos show, but the printer does not want to pick up the photo paper. I keep getting an error messge that says I am out of paper. If I put regular paper back into the printer, it will print on the regular paper, but not the photo paper. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello jackie4,
    I understand you are getting an 'Out of Paper' error when trying to pick up photo paper on your Deskjet 3515. I would like you to go ahead start troubleshooting An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ....
    Please let me know if this was successful at resolving the error message, if you require more assistance I would be happy to help.

  • Hp ENVY 5660 won't feed from the 4x6 tray!

    Just set up the new wireless printer and all communications are working well, but.....when attempting to print 4x6 photo's, it won't select the 4x6 photo paper tray. Both the regular paper and the 4x6 photo paper trays are filled, but not over full.When we set printer preferences, we set 4x4, paper type, etc..but aren't seeing any other options. It will print 4x6 on a full sheet of paper all day, but not feed from the 4x6 tray. Please help! We don't feel like we are device illiterate, but this one has us stumped!

    Hi @burly1, and welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you're having issues with your tray selection. I'd like to help! I would recommend running a copy throught the printer, but select copy - photo tray.  Do you have any issues printing a photocopy on photo paper? I'd also suggest performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I'd then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • How do I print from the photo paper cassette? It keeps using the lower tray. MX922.

    How do you print out images on photo paper? I have a Canon MX922 (2013 iMac OS 10.9.4) and I can't figure out how to indicate the specific paper tray to use when printing - everything prints out from the lower, US legal size paper tray. I have 4x6 photo paper loaded vertically in the upper tray properly. I've looked under the Paper Source in both My Image Garden and the Print Dialog settings, and chosen the A4 format, but it still prints out legal size images. What am I doing wrong? Here are the settings I'm using:
    Photo paper loaded:
    Printer settings in My Image Garden. The only option under 'Paper Source' is simply 'Casette.'
    Clicking Print sends me to the Print Dialog Box:
    In the Print Dialog box, 
    Default Settings doesn't reveal any tray options either:
    And still I'm getting legal-sized prints of photos, not on photo paper. 

    Crisis averted, you have to choose the 4x6 size in the My Image Garden instead of A4. Photos are printing normally now!

  • Issues with printing all picture formats to the a4 paper tray via eprint

    A little mystery which i am unable to work out.
    I have recently purchased the hp photosmart plus all in one printer b210 model. The printer has eprint which is enabled and working, the printer has two trays, a standard a4 paper tray and a photo tray.
    When i send a letter or standard written email it prints fine to the a4 paper tray. however if i wish to print a picture of any size or type (as i have tried different sizes and file types etc) to the a4 paper tray, it always defaults this to the photo tray and of course as there is no paper in the photo tray it displays an out of paper message.
    I have been into the printer prefereneces and changed the tray type both to a4 and to auto - ask me first and both still try to print to the photo tray, looking at the demo for e print it does discuss only photo sized images and standard letters but the demo video shows an actual eprint send to the a4 tray of a different type eprinter for hp.
    As a summary i really think that you can be able to send images to the a4 tray via eprint but do not know how. i have changed the tray type on the printer options and also looked at the eprint options on line. the paper default is set to a4 and nothing smaller? what else could be done and is it actually possible for this model i have?
    just as an additional note i can print pictures from wireless via laptops and pcs to the a4 paper tray so the issue lies with eprint????
     any help is appriciated many thanks
    AMD64legend

    Currently, if you attach a photo, it will default to the photo tray.  The ability to specify photo tray vs. main tray w/attached images is not available yet. 
    A work-around that provides some fliexibility in this area, is that if you embed your photo into the body of the email, it will print from the main tray...don't put any text into the email and embed the image (so you can see the picture in the email body) and send it to your printer's email. 
    A limitation of this approach is that images will not automatically fill the page - see my crude "drawing" below of a page w/an image in the upper part of the page as an example of how a print out of an embedded image might appear.  Give this a try yourself if you'd like to see how the output looks to determine if you want to make use of this option.  You can embed multiple images as long as you stay below the 5MB size limit for each email.

  • PRINTER WON'T WORK FROM THE IPAD BUT WILL FROM MY IMAC

    my printer will not work from my ipad but will from my imac

  • HT4356 How do I get the photo paper to print using an app from my iPad?

    Has anyone had difficulties using an airprinter. I have been using a crafting app with photos. I selected my HP airprinter
    To print the project. The first 3 times it worked correctly. Now when I try to print it will not use the photo paper.
    It will print out on regular paper.
    Any suggestions?

  • Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper.  My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray.  When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer.  This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time.  What must I be doing wrong?

    Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
    This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
    So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
    I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
    I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
    What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
    on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
    i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
    i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
    you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
    command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
    email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
    i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
    or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

  • Printer won't load photo paper from the photo tray

    My HP C7280 won't load the 4x6 photo paper from the photo tray.  The photo tray moves in towards the feeder, but fails to actually load the paper into the feeder.  Any suggestions on how to correct it?  Thank you.

    Hey,
    Please take some time and look through this document to make sure that you are loading the paper properly,

    These are the Macintosh instructions but the steps to prepare the photo print are the same but they are steps you would do on Windows just ignore the instructions.

  • Photosmart Premium C310a won't feed paper

     I went through all of the HP support steps, including the video with no luck - (time wait on/off & power cord on/off, correct amount/type of paper, ALL rollers cleaned, no paper jams, print settings correct, cartridges installed properly, hard reset, etc, etc. It sounds like a gear grinding when the roller pickup bar drops down to feed the paper.  Is there a factory reset for this printer?? Please help, Thank you

    Hi @Ebeniste1uk,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Photosmart Premium c310a will not detect your photo tray on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you!
    I would recommend going through this guide, The Printer Does Not Pick Up Photo Paper from the Photo Tray, and to watch this video:

    My hp photosmart D110 printer won't scan or print since I upgraded to Yosemite.  Any suggestions?

    Hey clutterfromduluth,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your printer/scanner after updating to OS X Yosemite. To troubleshoot this issue check out the following:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • MG5220 won't feed from bottom tray

    My  MG5220 is giving me an out of paper message when trying to print, even though there is plenty of paper in the tray.  I can hear some clicking like the machine is trying to feed, but the rollers aren't turning.  Feeds from the rear fine.  Any way to change out the feed gears for the bottom tray without disassembling the entire unit?

    Hi GunnerV and kaylakelley,
    Performing a roller cleaning on the printer may resolve the paper feed issue.  To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
    PIXMA MG5220 Roller Cleaning
    If the printer still does not feed paper from the cassette tray, please reply with what paper type you have selected on your computer, as well as any error message you are receiving and we will be happy to look into it further.

  • My printer prints a news feed from MSNBC everyday. How do I stop it from doing that?

    My printer prints a news feed from MSNBC everyday. It has since the day I hooked it up. I never approved or asked for any such news feed to be printed.  I haven't even been on MSMBC's site. No idea why it does this! Is it build into the software? Corporate sponsorship? How do I make it stop? It is using my ink up and as everyone knows, the ink is high dollar!

    Yes you or someone in your household signed up under EPrint for an account and activated this. You must go to your ePrint account and disable the app there.
