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:

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.

PAPER TRAY SUCKS. CANNOT PRINT OUT PHOTOS, TRAY ONLY ACCEPTS PAPER FROM BOTTOM TRAY. GRRRR.

My BRAND NEW (One week from delivery) no longer prints out photos. It printed out photos several times but 3 days' ago it stopped.
The paper tray is malfunctioning. Each time I try to print out a photo (remember, it's been done several times until a few days' ago) THE TRAY WILL NOT ACCEPT PAPER FROM THE TOP TRAY!!
SELECTED PHOTOS PRINT OUT ON PAPER FROM BOTTOM TRAY ONLY!! MY INK AND PAPER IS BEING WASTED AND SEVERAL OTHER POSTERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE HP 6520!
Is one of those infamous 2-hr. long marathon phone calls to Tech Support in India the ONLY way one can sensibly have an HP issue resolved?
This is ridiculous!

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!

Won't print from rear tray

I have a Pixma MG6220. No matter what I do it won't print from the rear tray from a source on the web. I go to both the quick setting and main tab and select "rear tray." Still prints from cassette. I took out the paper from the cassette. Won't print unti I load paper in the cassette. I even selected a different paper than plain paper and selected rear tray - but it still printed from the cassette.
I selected "continuous autofeed" for a default, removed paper from the cassette - and it still wouldn't print from paper loaded in the rear tray.
It will print from the rear tray if it's a document originating from my computer (or at least I just tried that and it worked). I did not change from plain paper, I only had to select rear tray.
Yes, I realize "save the document to your computer" will be a suggestion, but the website won't let me. It's a "free printable" that is not downloadable.

Hello.
The issue may also be related to a setting in your web browser. Check to see if your browser has a Page Setup option. This menu may be controlling the paper feed setting.
If the issue persists, please try using a different web browser to test the unit.

HP LaserJet P2015 Printing Envelopes from Bottom Tray

Hi,
Every month, I need to print approximately 100 to 150 envelopes with different addresses on them, and I can't stack that many on my HP LaserJet P2015's manual input tray. I can usually only fit about ten. I was wondering if it is possible to put a larger stack in the bottom tray, which I typically use for normal printing paper. The envelopes are approximately 7.5"x5.5", and don't fit into any default paper size in the bottom tray. Is there some sort of workaround for this, or am I stuck manually loading these envelopes?

If you are up for some experimenting, here is what I would suggest you do:
1. Check out this document on how to set custom envelope sizes. While this document talks about C6 envelopes the principal is the same for any size that is not listed in the driver. You may have to set a custom size if the size you want isn't listed there. You will need to do this in order for your information to be printed correctly on the envelope.
2. Check out my pic below. While this is a paper tray from a newer product in the same product line as your printer, you should be able to do the same thing. Find the paper guides (red squares) and adjust them to fit your envelope snuggly. Make sure it isn't to tight or you will warp the envelope. Replace your paper tray. Try printing an envelope. You may have to experiment to see if the flap has to be up or down.

New HP Photosmart 7520 won't print from photo tray

EDIT: It will feed from the phototray if I print the photo from the Windows Photo Viewer. However, it still refuses to print straight from the jpg, even though I explicitly specify in all the settings that I want to print a 4x6 from the photo tray. Is this typical behavior? I assume it would print correctly from other photo editing and viewing software, but haven't checked that yet so cannot be certain. PREVIOUS POST: I just got this printer, and cannot make it print from the photo tray. It printed from the phototray during the installation and setup, but that was the only time. The rest of the time, when I try to print a picture, it only selects from the regular paper tray. Is there some magical procedure involved? I have a Windows 7 operating system, and just installed everything from the HP site. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still it doesn't work. I load a sheet in the phototray, make sure the correct printer is set, select the paper size (in this case 4x6in, the sample photo paper that came with the printer), select HP Everyday Photo Paper, Glossy, click Print, and the printer ignores the phototray and prints from the regular paper tray. I have scoured the web and the answers provided do not solve the problem. This is very frustrating. If I cannot get this resolved in another day or two, I will be returning this printer and will try a different brand.

I have already looked at that link and tried all the things I can try at home, aside from replacing the print heads. Nothing works. The magenta seems to be the biggest offender. When I print photos that have a lot of magenta in them, I also get the horizontal lines, so it is not just the regular paper used by the printer's quality report (my first suspicion, sadly proven wrong). I see now that this printer also cuts off the image when printing a borderless photo. I have not found a solution for that yet, either. It also went crazy in the middle of a print job (told me that I needed to power it off, lost its wireless connection, regained its connection, but would not talk to the computer). I had to turn it off and on again to reset it, and after that it seemed to print, at least. This printer has been a very expensive mistake, considering the ink and paper I have gone through in the past week. I have four days to decide if I want to return it and just eat the cost of the ink cartridges. I am seriously considering it at this point, but will try to work things out for another day or two.

Printer won't switch from one tray to another

Having problems with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium not doing the auto switch from default tray to next tray during print job. I've tried unplugging the printer, removing and replacing tray 2, checking for jams, shuffling paper, resetting the default tray (paper can be pulled from both trays when set as default), but I still get an "out of paper" message when the default tray is empty even though the other tray is empty. I can manually exchange empty tray for full one, but the printer no longer automatically switches over when one of the trays is empty. HELP!

HP 8630 won't print from Paper Tray 2

I decided to upgrade last week with the dual paper tray printer and continue to have to manually load my stationary in paper tray 1 to print on custom paper.
Why in the world can't HP fix this issue....I've been with Apple Care to do everything regarding repairs on their end of the line and reinstalled printer software following that process and it worked....ONCE. Now I cannot even get the Options Box to stay checked long enough to get ONE print from paper tray 2.
I'm returning this POS today....unfortunately, I tossed the box after I mistakenly thought it was fix after the Apple Care exercise.
HP....what is your problem that you can't resolve this issue?????

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.

HP Envy 7645 won't print from photo tray

FIXED my own problem!Never thought to try setting the paper size to 4x6 in/10x25 cm! That's apparently what I get for being metric-phobic (or ignorant). But really, why provide a 4x6 option in the first place? I can't get my Envy 7645 printer to print from the photo tray. I'm specifically trying to print from the Photos app. I select the print option, set the printer, paper size (4x6), and paper options to "print from photo tray." I select print, and the HP print dialog appears and from there I am unable to set the photo tray as the paper source. The dialog comes up with "Default Settings" as the Presets option and when I scroll down through the dialog to select the Paper Type/Quality option, it shows paper type as HP Photo Papers, Quality is set to Normal, and the Source is set to Automatic (which fails to print from the photo tray; it defaults to the main tray). When I try to shift from Automatic to Photo Tray, I get an error message that says "The paper size selected is not supported by the Photo Tray. To print with the Photo Tray, go to the Page Setup dialog, choose a paper size supported by this tray, and then return to the Print dialog." At this point, I have no idea where to find the Page Setup dialog (it's not immediately apparent in the avialable options and I can't seem to find it under any of the Photos print options). Further, I don't understand why I'm getting the error in the first place as the paper installed in the tray is, indeed, 4x6 (as set in the original Photos dialog). I've tried playing with any number of varities of options (e.g, changing from HP Photo Papers to the generic other photo papers option, not specifying size of photo paper) and any time I select the photo tray option, I get the error message.

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. Did you still need assistance? I see that you have some interface questions about printing photos from a Yosemite Mac using your HP ENVY 7645 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to help. Have you installed your printer's full-feature driver on the Mac? If not, click here to install. Also, for your information, your printer's specifications re: supported photo paper sizes is available here. When I tried printing a photo from my Yosemite machine (albeit with a different printer) this is how I configured the print job: If I had the option I would also recommend setting the paper type to correspond with whatever kind of photo paper you're using. If this approach doesn't help try the following steps: Uninstall your printer - click here for instructions. Repair disk permissions on your Mac - click here for instructions. Once you've finished running the above-noted utility, restart your computer. Lastly, click here to reinstall your printer. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.

Aperture won't print from photo tray on HP Photosmart 6520

I've just started having a problem printing 4x6 photos with Aperture. When I print a borderless 4x6 glossy using the photo tray on my Photosmart it works fine. When I say to print a 4x6 borderless using the photo tray with photo premium paper it prints from the main tray rather than the photo tray. Plus now it's giving me a picture with borders, even though I specified borderless. Anyone have this problem?

Sorry, I do not know anything about your Printer. Have you looked, if there is an update for your printer driver, before you start reinstalling Aperture? If yes, upgrade your printer driver first. Also check, if you are having the same problem when printing from a different user account. Maybe some settings in your user accunt or startup items are interfering. You could also check, if printing from iPhoto or Photoshop has the same problem (but don't waste expensive photo paper on these tests ).
What is the Aperture version you are using?
Let me ask this: is there a problem deleting Aperture and reinstalling it? Will I lose anything? Thanks.
Your images are stored in the Aperture library/libraries, and your settings in your user library. This should not be affected by reinstalling Aperture. But do not reinstall, without ensuring that your backup is current.
How to reinstall will depend on the Aperture version you are using. This support article describes the procedure - ignore the title of the document - it is written to help with a nasty bug.

Ios 7 screen won't slide from bottom

I love the new features in ios 7.. but I can't get my screen to slide up to access the Control Screen--except once in a whie it does it and I have no idea why. Any one else have this problem?

If you have a case (or perhaps even if not) rest your finger on the case itself, not the screen and start your upward swipe from there. I have a case and at first I was trying to put my finger as close to where the case meets the screen as possible. This gave me about a 5% success rate. Now when i start below the screen but right above the Home button, I have about a 98% success rate of opening Control Center.

My MG5220 won't print an original 3 page document from rear tray.

I have only recently had trouble printing original documents from rear tray. I have completed maintenance ( cleaning), checked paper media, etc. I have checked page set-up, etc. I think I am overlooking something that is obvious but I can't see the forest for the trees. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Kashmie,
To try and resolve the issue, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the paper not to feed. Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely. Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer. Once all of these steps have been performed, if you still experience difficulty, please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

HP Officejet Pro 8630 won't print from tray 2; says there's no paper

Action: Print from tray 2.
Expected Results: Paper feeds from tray 2 and prints.
Actual Results: Printer displays "out of paper" dialog.
Notes: Ever since I purchased the Officejet Pro 8630 six or eight months ago, tray 2 has not functioned. It says there's no paper in that tray. I've tried multiple types of letter sized paper. I've inspected the bottom of the main printer unit and the top of tray 2 for signs of damage; there doesn't seem to be any.
Tray 1 works just fine. It's actually a fantastic printer. The best I've owned. If only Tray 2 would work.

HP Photosmart C5180 Will no longer feed 8x11 Photo paper from main tray

My C5180 all in one will no longer feed 8x11 photo paper from main tray. Rollers slip and will not pull paper in. Any suggestions?
583seve

Hi @583seve
I see youa re having some difficulty with your Photosmart C5180. The following document addresses both out of paper messages and issues with paper pick; 'Out of Paper' Error Message Displays and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper.
If the issue persists, you might consider trying the steps in a paper jam document. Although you may not be experiencing a paper jam, the steps in this document may be all that is left to try; 'Clear paper jam, then press OK' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel.
I hope this helps, but if after all your efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. They may be able to offer you a discount on a newer model as part of a trade in trade up option. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
