Printer Default to Photo Tray

Hello all, I am trying to change my printer's default settings. I need to change the default paper size from "US Letter" to 4x6. It is a HP Printer. I am printing files via Applescript. An applescript command or just a way to change the default setting would be great.
Thanks,
Ryan

How do I print in black and white?  not sure where to change that.  It used to show up in the print box but there doesn't seem to be in the pop up that comes with this software?
Can I print a full page photo?  How do I go around the print tray?

  • My printer has stop printing from the photo tray. I need to place the photo stock in the main tray

    I've a HP PhotoSmart Plus printer B210a.  The printer will no longer print from the photo tray.  I'm still able to get prints; but I must place the photo stock in the main tray.  It becomes a problem, because I sometimes forget the photo stock is the main tray and I waste photo stock when I do my regular printing and only get part it because the photo was still in the tray.  Anyway to fix this?

    Hi there wmcook,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and are there any errors when attempting to print from the photo tray?

  • Any easy way to print envelopes from photo tray?

    I have a new C309 printer that works well printing from three different PCs.  What I want to do is load the photo tray with a few #10 envelopes so that I can print one without having to change out paper in the main tray.
    The problem is, by the time I make the changes to Properties to print from the photo tray, I might as well have swapped things in the main tray.  (I have to declare that I'm printing postcards or it won't let me specify the photo tray).
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to multiplex between printing letters and printing envelopes?

    Address Book itself has the ability to print out labels - I'm not sure whether you have OS X 10.4 or 10.5, but there are more options in 10.5. From Address Book, select your desired addresses (or make a group of them and select that) and go to File - Print. You'll see the label options there.

  • Air Print always uses photo tray on C410b

    When I try to print documents using Air Print from my iPad the C410b  always defaults to the photo tray. Ok if I want to print a small photograph but I also need to print photos (and other documents)  at A4 size. I have set the 'Main Tray' as the default in the 'Preferences' menu but it makes no difference. The Air Print App on the iPad should allow paper (or tray) preferences to be set but doesn't.
    Apple advised that this feature is enabled by the printer not the App.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Manjra,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    From my experience, the AirPrint driver does not allow you to do such adjustments. AirPrint limits the paper to; 4x6 for photos and letter for documents. The AirPrint drivers decides this by the App used to open the document. For Example, when you open the Photo Gallery on the iPad, it is going to send the print command as a photo and require 4x6 photo paper in the tray.
    If you would like more control over the print setting, please try the HP ePrint App.

  • Cannot print out of photo tray-C6380

    All settings say to pull paper out of photo tray. I have a custom size and have that entered. Every box is checked that should be checked, but no matter what, it keeps pulling paper from the main tray! I'm going nuts here! I've printed this item previously with no problem and the same settings. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

    Awesome, glad it's working now! You're welcome!

  • Can't print from photo tray and can't set my usual margins

    I have a Photosmar tD7560 printer.  My computer is an HP Pavillion e9120y PC, recently upgraded from Vista Home Premium 64 bit to Windows 7 home premium 64 bit (clean install). The printer was not compatible with Windows 7 but the issue was resolved here when I was advised by a member to download a fix.  (Thanks again!)
      I have printed with no problem until today when I tried to print out a 4x6 index card from the photo tray.  I set the paper size to 4x6 but when I tried to print it, i got an out of paper message. I put paper in the main tray and it printed from there.
    Also, suddenly I cannot reset my bottom margin to .5 inches, it must be.59 or greater.  This happened after I tried to print from the photo tray because before, I was able to set a .5 inch margin.  (This is in Word 2003)
    I hope someone can help with this!

    Hello AnnArritola,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! The HP Officejet 5745 printer defaults to the main paper try. Printing using the printer’s dedicated photo tray can be accomplished by accessing the print driver and selecting the photo tray before printing. Below is a support document that should help with the necessary steps.

    p.s. A quicker method once you’re in the printer driver is to go to the shortcuts tab and select photo printing (this will automatically select the dedicated photo tray).

  • Why wont my HP All In One C5280 printer print from photo tray after upgrade- vista to windows 7?

    I recently downloaded an upgrade for windows home premium. Used to have Vista. Now my HP C5280 All In One printer will not print from the photo tray when settings are correctly set. This is after I ran HP Update. What do I do next.

    I would try running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. Go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa​dIndex?softwareitem=mp-91788-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&​...= and see what part fails.
    The PDU checks the connectivity, spooler condition, online status, device manager, print queue, ports, driver, conflicts, and default printer.

  • Help - photos are not printing from photo tray uToshiba Laptop

    Hello,
    I just got a new toshiba satellite laptop and when I try to print photos using the glossy photo paper in the photo tray, it keeps pulling from the regular paper tray. I have tried selecting all kinds of the HP paper, but it still prints out on regular paper.  I also have a desktop and I have the exact same settings as that and the desktop pulls from the photo tray but the laptop doesn't. Can anyone help?
    Thanks so much,
    Shelly

    If you are unable to print photos, the first thing that comes to mind is that you have the wrong tray selected.  I would start with Solution 4 of this document for a walk-through on how to setup the photo tray.   I know you are not experiencing an out of paper error message but it covers all of the steps you would take to print to the photo tray.  This printer has ePrint.  Have you set that up yet?  I am curious because I want you to try to email the printer an attachment of your photo because ePrint photos default to 4x6 and go straight to the paper tray.  This test will narrow down to if this is a printer problem or a setting in your computer.  Read through that link and let me know if it helps or not.  If not, how is the printer connected to the computer and what kind of computer are you using?
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HP C6380 photo tray prints only green

    The problem started when I installed my new computer with Windows 7. The photo tray prints only in green. I tried to print from the photo tray from various programs with the same result, so the printer must be the problem. I downloaded and installed the 2009-10-20 software and driver version 13.1.0 which did not correct the problem. I also ran the HP printer problem detection tool and got no help there. Please help me. I use this feature often. By the way, I posted this same question a short time again and it has disappeared. Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • How do I select main input tray to print photo over ePrint and not photo tray?

    when I send a picture from my Iphone the printer always wants to take paper from the photo tray ,despite that it's set up to take paper from the main tray.

    Hey AndreBielser!
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to select the paper tray through ePrint at this time. Photos will always try to print to the photo tray. The only way I have seen that you can get around this is by including the photo in the body of the message instead of as an attachment. I will definitely pass on the information that this is something you are looking for as a feature of ePrint though!
    Hope this helps!

  • 7520 not printing from photo tray

    Brand New 7520 is not printing from the photo tray.  I am printing from photoshop CS5 and I do not see where I can select the photo tray.  In this instance, I am selecting 4x6 paper, but then it tries to print from the main tray, which I have emptied so I do not continue to print on plain paper. I have browsed some of the previous posts, but I have not been able to find a solution. It there a way that I can tell it to always print photos or a certain size paper from the photo tray? The reason I bought this printer was to be able to print small photos. Any assistance would be greatly apprecaited! Ciao!

    I understand now.  I want to provide a document on how to print photos in version 10.6 which should be relatively close to your settings.  If this doesn't help you, let me know and I will gladly hand-write individual steps for you, this is just a little easier at this time.   I have learned from personal experience that the main tray will not even register the photos, as I had a customer one day kept getting an out-of-paper error message during ePrint and he did not know you had to lift up the see-through tray to put photos in there.  That isn't to say it is not possible through a Mac program.  ePrint is really basic so it likes everything to be perfect.   Tell me if the above link helps you.  If not, I have your version of Mac (I believe) and this printer. I will see if I can recreate this if you need me. PS- Thank you so much for providing this picture for me for troubleshooting purposes.  Might I add, that is a beautifully artistic photo.

  • 7515 keeps trying to print from photo tray when main tray selected (Mac)?

    Just started uing a iMac with the 7515.  It's driving me nuts that it keeps trying to print from the photo tray when I have main tray clearly selected in the print dialog box.
    I'm trying to insert the picture of the print dialog box, but doesn't seem to be working.  In presets (the second selection box from the top) I've got "Print from Main Tray" selected pretty plainly.
    Turning the printer on and off does not help.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hey Chriscic,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Always the best recommend steps to start off with when troubleshooting with a Mac, is to reset the printing system. Then verify, and repair the disk permissions.
    So to start with the reset of the printing system, I have included the document 'Macintosh: Resetting the Printing System in Mac OS X'. Please select your version of Mac, and follow through the steps. If you have Mavericks, you can follow the steps for OS X v10.8. Also, please do not re-add the printer just yet.
    After the reset of the printing system, you will need to complete the verify, and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions'. For step three when it asks you to select a disk, please select your hard drive. Once the repair has completed, please restart the Mac.
    After the Mac has restarted, you can now add the printer back into the print queue. The try to print. Are you still experiencing the same issue? Or are you able to print from the main tray?
    If you do require further assistance, please let me know the version of Mac OS X you are running. If you need it, I have included the document 'Finding your OS X version and build information'.
    Looking forward to your reply.
