Missing paper tray

I use mac os x 5.4 and has just bought a HP Photosmart C6280 "all in one". When I try to print a picture from iPhoto 08 there is no choice of paper tray. I have the latest drivers and software from HP. The choice of paper tray is in the designated HP printer software but I need it directly from iPhoto. Interestingly enough, HP support says it is not their but Apples problem and asks me to contact run software update on my mac, witch I have done, and then contact Apple support. Any ideas from here will be very welcome!

I've got an HP Photosmart D7160. I see you've spoken with HP support, so you've probably been through these steps, but bear with me and let me ask so it is more clear where things have gone wrong.
When I print from iPhoto, first I get a dialog box with "iPhoto" on the top where there are options on the left for borders, etc. Then if I click on the Print box, I get the dialog box with "Print" on the top. To get to the paper tray, I choose Paper Type/Quality from the dropdown button in the middle, and then I get the option to choose "Photo Tray" from the Source dropdown button.
So, is the Source button missing? Or is the Photo Tray option greyed out?

  • Paper tray problem

    Hi experts,
    i have this printer problem for a few weeks now..
    here's the story:
    i installed a new driver for printer ricoh aficio 3235C
    driver: aficio 3235C PCL6
    device type: HPLJ4000
    the printer is working fine but user has requested paper tray should be in tray 3
    i changed all the settings to tray 3, in spad output device 'default tray' to Paper tray 3 and 'paper tray info' tick the tray 3 box.
    printer settings in control panel were also changed to tray 3
    after testing, user claims its still printing in tray 1
    so i installed the device type recommended in note 458047
    the new device type is ZA001014.
    after testing, the user tells me its still tray 1.
    what should i check here?
    did i miss any settings?
    hope someone could help.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    Might be silly,
    But ask your users to use the same device type which you have made the settings for taking the print out.

  • Paper tray selection for copies won't stay

    I'm having problems setting the paper tray for copies.  I go into settings on the printer LED screen and select Tray 2 for copies, but it doesn't stick.  Since I have envelopes loaded in Tray 1, I'm constantly getting "wrong tray" error messages.

    Welcome back to the HP Community @marthainalabama ,
    I read your post about the problems you have been having with making copies from Tray 2 in your Officejet 8630, and I would like for you to check out the link below and try the suggestions from @TeK_AcE  to see if the steps can help! Try copying from Tray 2 afterwards.

  • Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

    Dear Experts,
    I am using VB.NET
    We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
    1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
    2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
    If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
    1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
    2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
    3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
    Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
    report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
    Regards,
    Eswar

    Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.

  • 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 can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

    I have a new 
    HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
    and an ipad on my showroom floor.
    I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper.  If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
    Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
    Richard

    Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.

  • Paper tray won't close

    HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MFP  printer:
    So, I put more paper in the paper tray and closed the drawer as usual. Only the drawer will not close. I have looked inside to see if there is anything visible that would prevent it from closing. I see nothing.  Without paper, I can't print easily (just with a couple pieces of paper).  This is wierd. Has never happened before.
    I have turned off and on the printer, not that that would help -- but the paper tray will still not slide into the printer.

    Hi tonjalr,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

  • 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.

  • Paper tray hp laserjet 1018

    It should be simple.  I cannot close the paper tray of my HP LaserJet 1018 printer.   It is hinged and when I lift it, it moves about 30 degrees and stops.  I am afraid that if I force it any farther something will break.  How does it close?  It was close when I bought it.

  • Wrong automatic paper tray selection in HP LaserJet M3035 printer.

    Hello,
    I have a printer (this one http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-3328064-12004-3328083-2512333-2512337-3435... ) shared in Active Directory by several users (running Windows XP machines). The thing is that no matter how many times I try to set the source paper tray to a specific one, it seems it doesnt apply/store the changes, and it comes back to Auto tray selection  (and it always selects tray #1, which is the one im trying to avoid), causing an issue which needs to be solved by hand.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    1. Go into your SETUP MENU on your printer.
    2. Choose PREFERENCES
    3. Choose DEFAULT TRAY.
    Try it and let me know what happens, thanks.

  • HP 6525 Paper Tray

    I had no problem setting up the Photosmart 6525 and it printed a test photo and worked fine for a month, but now when I keep getting a message telling me to reinsert or lower the paper tray. The photo tray is on top and the paper try on the bottom. I cannot figure out any other way to reinsert the paper trays than the way they are in right now. Now it will not print from either tray. Solution is probably simple but I can't figure it out. Help.

    @wildcatjim, 
    The guide is a general reference document which shows the areas to check to try and resolve the error you are receiving. Take a look on Page 37 of your User Guide, I understand you are not getting a paper jam error however the illustrations will show you the paper trays and the cleaning recommendations which may help.
    If your printer is still in warranty, I would contact our technical support at 800-474-6836, as it may be the hardware. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • 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!

  • Paper tray error message HP LaserJet 1102w

    Recently my LaserJet 1102w stopped printing duplex; instead, after printing the first side it gives an error message :  Paper tray needs to be filled.  
    The paper tray is full, but I cannot get it to continue printing the other side, no matter what.  This has become a huge problem, even when printing single-sided jobs.
    Any ideas?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Once you place the printed pages back in the input tray, try opening and closing the top cartridge access door to rsume the print job and check if that prints the other side.
    Hope that helps,

  • Hp laserjet professional 1100w. cannot close paper tray. paper-stop not movable?

    I managed to install and print but cannot close the paper tray.  There is a little paper-stop that prevents the paper tray from closing. Seems like it should be able to fold under or something.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless second paper tray under Snow Leopard

    He there, I have a strange problem with the second (extra) paper tray from the Office Jet Pro 8500. I have setup the tray and activated the option on the driver page on the computers, but no results. No paper is loaded from the tray and there is an error that no paper is loaded in the machine. The printer is connected via ethernet (and a time machine) and I am running snow leopard on all the machines that are connected to the printer. I have installed the latest drivers from Apple and from HP. I know that the paper tray is working, because when I make a copy on the machine localy and force him to use papertray number 2, then there is no problem.
    Does anybody have the same problem?? Thanks

    I also just tried connecting my 8500 wireless printer directly via usb and then downloading the HP printer drivers from Apple downloads and reinstalling.
    The install hangs nearly forever on the final step, but eventually says the driver install was successful. However, then when connected via usb, I am unable to print. Printing works when you reconnect via the wireless on the 8500.
    So connecting via usb and reinstalling HP printer drivers does not solve the issue. And it's puzzling, because the list of supported printers under Snow Leopard lists the Officejet Pro8500 Wireless as supporting both printing and scanning.
    Somebody has it wrong.
    If this scanning problem continues very long, I may be forced to uninstall Snow Leopard, because my printer is brand new.
