IPhone 5 keeps choosing photo paper tray

My iphone 5 chooses photo paper trayto print even though my printer is set to automatically choose main tray. How can I fix that.

Hi,
Are you using AirPrint or e-Print to print from your iPhone?
The default print setting for Airprint (the iPhone's default print app) is to use the photo tray for all photos. If you want to use plain paper or another tray, you'll need to download HP's e-print app - this has many more paper and print size options.
You'll find setup instructions here.

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.

Photo paper tray ignored

I have a 7520e all in one printer and my operating system is windows vista. Recently I have encountered a problem in printing photos. All photos print on the paper from the main tray instead of the photo paper tray.
Thank you,

Hi Fred of Texas,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Your Printing Preferences may be stuck.
Paper Size and Media Type are selected in Printing Preferences:
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click your Printer >
Printing Preferences > tab Paper / Quality >>
Select Paper Source > as desired / required by printer model
Select Paper Size > as desired / required for the print job
Select Media > as desired / required for the print job
OK
You might try opening the Photo image in Windows Photo Viewer -- the program comes with most flavors of Windows.
Once you open the photo in Windows Photo Viewer, select to print it and then pick your options.
Note that the "fit picture to frame" is NOT checked!
You can use the following example:

It seems all of a sudden when trying to print from Iphoto it is choosint the wrong paper tray, not the photo paper tray. How do I fix this?

Download and install the latest drivers for your printer model. Get it either from the manufacture's website or from Apple's Downloads site: Apple - Support - Search

AirPrint and photo paper

I use my HP PhotoSmart 7510 with my iPad. Whenever I print a photo the printer automaticly selects the photo paper tray. How can I configure (AKA FORCE) the printer to always use the plan paper tray?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
AirPrint do not provide much control on the printout, if you print from the Photo application for example it will automatically set to Photo Paper and that cannot be changed.
You may follow the What paper and media sizes are supported? section below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02623193&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=5070121#N24...
You may use the HP ePrint app as an alternative, it provide more control as paper tray and type selection:

HT4356 I have just updated my Epson printer to one which supports air print but consider it to be a waste of money as my printer has two paper trays and there is option to choose which try...just "print" How can I print photos via AirPrint from photo tr

Hi,
First-timer on this...Just updated my printer which was less than one year old, to one which had Air Print capabilities. This one is the Epson XP605 which has two trays, one being for photos. Each time I tried to Air Print a photo, it printed from the A4 plain paper tray instead of the Photo Tray.Twice...then I came into my study and changed the printer settings to Tray 1 (photo tray) Photo paper, size 5x7 and Photo Best, but still it printed on plain A 4 paper. Would be most grateful for any help, although I did read on one Apple site that AirPrint may not be able to choose trays!!!! "may not"?? Thanks

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

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!

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.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

- Set the paper size (the next option down) accordingly

When i select print photo 4x6 it prints on 10 x11 paper. there photo paper in tray

i choose 4x6 photo on computer and hit print. it comes out on regular paper 10x11

Hi
What are you printing from?
Mac / Windows?
What program?
If your on windows please check your printing preferences to ensure its set to the photo paper and the paper size
also ensure you only have the photo paper in the tray and it isnt just sitting on the top of the plain paper (you'd be suprised at how many people do this)
And that the photo paper is facing glossy side down.
Hope this helps!

7520won't choose photo tray

Whenever I try to print a photo from my iMac desktop to my 7520, even though I go through all of the options and choose the photo tray, it will not print a photo from the tray but instead will print on ordinary A4.
I've tried removing the paper from the bottom tray and printing with photo paper in the main tray and I get an error message saying it is jammed.
This is extremely frustrating and annoying. I choose everything pointing to printing to the photo tray and I've wasted so much paper and ink
I'm about to put my foot through the printer
Now it won't even connect wirelessly.
Help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Try going to System Preferences > Print & Scan / Printers & Scanners.
Click the plus sign to add a printer.
Select the listed printer, then click the Use drop-down menu and select the HP Photosmart 7520 rather than the default AirPrint option.
Add the printer and try pringin usin the newly created print queue. may you see any difference?
