HP8500A- how do I choose paper tray 1 or paper tray 2, depending on if I'm printing a photo or a doc

Store clerk said I could keep photo paper on Tray 1 and 8.5x11 in Tray 2 and that the printer would recognize what I was trying to print and use the appropriate paper tray.  But it seems to use Tray 1 as default, and if Tray 1 is emtpy, then goes to Tray 2. 
How do I avoid having to keeping switiching out the types of paper I want to use?

If you do not find an option for the trays in the Print dialog where Arch indicated, you may have to tell the driver that you have them by selecting the printer in the Print & Fax control pane, and then Options & Supplies. Or you may be using a Gutenprint driver which does not support multiple trays.
If you find the setting, you can save the setting and name one Labels or something like that.

  • How do I choose Epson Premium Glossy paper in CS4?

    I want to print some colour copies from Photoshop CS4 on my Epson Photo 360 colour printer but as I want to use Epson paper I want to stipulate Epson premium glossy paper before printing so that I can get the best result. I used to be able to enter this info into Photoshop CS3 (print/ page set up/ media type) but can't find this in CS4. Can anyone help please?

    With a document open, go to the File menu and choose ''Print". In the large window that opens, click on the Print button at the bottom; this brings up a small print dialog box. In that dialog box you'll see three pop-up type menus. Open the bottom menu and choose "Print Settings". In the print settings window you'll see a place to choose your "Media Type".
    Hope this helps.

  • Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop.  I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper.  I keep getting the message "no paper in tray".  The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray.  What next?

    the settings are correct.  if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper.  I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper.  I still get the same message when trying to print the photo.  Thanks

  • How can I choose my printer's rear tray on my MacBook?

    Hello everyone,
    I have something strange going on on my MacBook when it comes to printing...
    I would love to be able to print address labels, photos etc. on actual labels and photo paper using the rear tray of my printer (Canon MG5150). The weird thing is that I cannot for the life of me find the option to choose the rear tray. I have expanded the print dialogue to show all possible options, but there's absolutely no way to choose my printer's paper source. So I'm stuck with the standard cassette, which I do not dare use for anything thicker than normal printing/copying paper. Everything else printer-wise works fine from the MacBook, I just can't select the paper source (regardless which programme I'm working in on the MacBook).
    Something else I've tried is downloading the latest printer driver from Canon. No joy there though, doesn't make a blind bit of difference. I've also tried opening programmes using Rosetta just in case, but that doesn't seem to change anything either.
    My iMac never presented me with this problem; it always let me print from whichever paper source I wanted (using the same Canon printer). Some background info: my MacBook has Mac OS 10.6.8 on it, my iMac Mac OS 10.4. Could it have something to do with the operating system? They are both Intel, aren't they, so why would the options be there on one Mac, but not the other?
    So, where could my menu options have disappeared to?? Have Apple changed their printing dialogues for the worse or something? It seems such a shame I can't use my MacBook to its full potential and have to resort to roundabout ways of being able to do what I want. I'm hoping it's something really obvious, and that someone can help me.
    Thanks for any advice!
    Kind regards,
    Esther

    Hello-
    You can restore network defaults on the printer.
    Press the Setup icon. Then go to Network Menu, scroll down to "restore network defaults".
    This should clear any "Admin" settings that were set.
    Then you can turn radio on and run the wireless wizard to get back on network.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I choose a paper size on my iPad when I print?

    I need to print on 8.5" x 14" paper, but cannot choose the paper size in Adobe Reader on my iPad 2 when I print.
    Please help!

    According to a document by Canon on their AirPrint printers, this appears to be a limitation of AirPrint:
    "Paper Size
    With AirPrint, the paper size is selected automatically according to the app being used on the Apple device and the region in
    which AirPrint is used.
    When Apple's photo app is used, the default paper size is L size in Japan, and 4"x6" or KG in other countries and regions.
    When documents are printed from Apple's Safari app, the default paper size is letter size in the U.S. region, and A4 in Japan
    and Europe."

  • How do I get the hp 6510 to print to photo paper?

    When I try to print photos from the computer with "4x6" and "hp photo paper" selected, the printer prints 4x6 size on the plain printer paper, NOT the photo paper. If I remove the plain 8.5x11 paper, it won't print at all, just says "paper tray empty". How do I get this to work?

    I could not print  saved photos on my computer to photo paper. Spent a long time trying all cures listed on line. Nothing worked. I finally made these  adjustments. Now it prints fine.
              What I daid was:
                                                1)   Opened Control panel
                                                2 )  Opened "Printer folder"
                                                3)   Made sure my 6510 was listed as default printer
                                                4)   "RIGHT" clicked  printer icon and clicked "Run as administrator"...... clicked   "Properties"
                                                5)   Clicked  "Continue" when Windows asks for permission to continue
                                                6)  Clicked   "Printing Preferences"
                                                       This gave me 2 menues to choose from.    Layout.... and.... Paper /Quality.
                                                                                  Clicked on "PAPER /Quality"
                                                 7) For Paper Source   selected  "Photo Tray"
                                                      For Paper size   selected 4x6in (tab)
                                                      For Media    selected HP Advanced Photo Papers
                                                      For Quality Settings   selected "Best"
                                                 8) Clicked on "Apply" in lower right corner of the window.
                                                 9) Clicked  "OK"  then "OK" on the next screen to close the printer windows
                                                  I can now print my saved Photos on Photo Paper. Hope it helps you.

  • 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.

  • How to print on photo paper with HP Photosmart 7520 on iphoto '11

    Dear All,
    I have a very serious problem. I've tried so many settings and configurations without success.
    Very simple. I cannot choose the photo tray in any way and I cannot print on photo paper.
    I get everything on A4 format.
    The printer is working fine wih other software (e.g. HP studio).
    I can't believe I'm the only one.
    Please help!
    tks ;-)

    Hi,
    I came across such issues using AirPrint from Mac OS.. probably an Airprint bug.
    Go to Print & Scan and click the plus sign.
    From the extended add a printer dialog select the Photosmart 7520.
    Open the Use drop-down and select the HP Photosmart 7520 from teh list (Instead the default AirPrint option)
    Additionally from the iPhoto print dialog click Print, the OS print dialog will appear.
    Set the Paper Source as Photo Tray under the Paper Type/Quality menu.

  • Deskjet 6988dt, how to use photo/envelope slot for printing 4x6 photo paper?

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.  Printer has the extra250 sheet paper tray.  Upper and lower tray work fine.  I can of course load photo paper in upper tray and print photos from there, but I was trying to load just one sheet of photo paper in the little slot since I don't want to have photo paper loaded all the time.  Since I have to use the generic Windows driver for this printer as HP doesn't have a driver update for this printer and Windows 7, the only selections I'm seeing in printer properties is "automatic, upper, lower".  I've tried all three of those settings and none take the paper from the little slot where I'm manually feeding the 4x6 photo paper.  What am I doing wrong?  Could it be that this feature just isn't enabled with the generic Windows driver?
    The reference/instruction documentation that came with this printer is very sparse.  I can't find any instruction on how to use the photo/evelope slot.  In fact I'd say overall the documentation is very poor.
    I just checked the HP site, still no Windows 7 64-bit driver available.
    Thanks for any help or ideas.

    Found a .pdf document on line for the Desjet 6980 series printers. Much more comprehensive than what came with the printer.

    Follow these steps to use the photo/envelope feeder to print a single photo:
    1. Insert the photo paper into the photo/envelope feeder with the side to be printed on
    facing down.
    2. Gently push the photo paper into the photo/envelope feeder as far as it will
    comfortably go.
    3. Slide the photo/envelope feeder forward as far as it will go.
    4. Print the photo.
    Problem was, although I was inserting the 4x6 photo paper into the feeder, I wasn't pushing the little plastic slide forward.

  • FAQ: How do I choose the right sequence settings?

    In general, the settings of a sequence should match those of the primary footage type in the sequence. Though Premiere Pro can mix footage of various types in a sequence and compensate for differences in characteristics, performance and quality are maximized when such conversions are avoided.
    See this video for more information:
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?
    Also see these sections in Premiere Pro Help:
    Create a sequence
    Sequence presets and settings

    Sorry to say this - but you've got the wrong advice from Adobe.
    You were right in selecting the profile for Epson premium glossy paper - if that's what you are printing on.
    The magenta cast is most probably due to double color management, i.e. color management for your printer was not switched off. You did all the right moves , but still the color management for the printer was not switched off. This seems to be an Epson - Lightroom problem. You are about the fourth poster who has this problem with Lightroom and Epson printers. All of them said that they were sure that they had color management by the Epson printer switched off. There seems to be a hidden setting that prevails or is called by Lr.
    The magenta cast is typical for double color management.
    Read this - maybe it helps: http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/printworkflow.html#display_calibration
    Don't miss the section on  "How to print images from Lightroom".
    I don't have an Epson printer so can't give you further insight on this. Except ...
    Disable - temporarily - all custom print profiles and templates that you may have created. Move them to a different folder where Lr does not find them. I cannot guarantee that this helps but if the problem persists it might be worth a try.
    One of the above mentioned posters said that the problem disappeared after disabling an old print preset that he had created for a prior version of Lr.

  • HP LaserJet P2015 Tray 1 paper feed

    My HP LaserJet P2015dn printer has been my workhorse printer since new, especially for printing checks, envelopes, forms from paper Tray 1. I always print using the Auto Select for paper feed, so that if there are checks/envelopes in Tray 1, they will be selected. For the past 6 weeks or so, the printer will not feed from Tray 1 on demand, that is will not pick paper from Tray 1 if Auto Select is enabled as I have used it in the past.
    Printer will pick from Tray 1 IF Tray 1 is specifically selected OR Tray 2 has no paper or is removed. I doubt I can retrain myself to do either of these things as work arounds.
    Stupidly, I paid a $50 bench fee for a technician to tell me the printer is mechanically working as it should. On further investigation, I have determined that the HP print drivers is use seem to have been installed on July 10, 2008 (about the time this issue started AFAIK) from a combined installer HPLaserJetP2015andColorLaserJet2605_2700.dmg which I installed for my Color LaserJet 2605dn printer.
    I still have the prior LJP2015OSXfullsol.dmg on my hard disk, but reinstalling same does not seem to replace the new driver with the old.
    So, is there any way to get rid of the the newer print software OR overlay the older on the newer? Other suggestions?

    So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
    I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
    So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
    Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

    How do I get the photo tray option to come up in iphoto from my mac notebook when I have an HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    I have an HP all-in-one C5140.  When I print from iPhoto the dialog that comes up has a "Presets" drop down at the bottom.  One of the choices is "Print from Photo Tray."  Is that there on yours?  If not make sure you have the latest software from HP.
