Printing only on half 4x6 photo paper
My printer is only printing on half the photo paper 4x6. I have changed the preference settings on my hp printer to photo paper the paper size but it's just printing the picture small and on the edge leaving a wide blank space. If I trimmed the photo down it would be too small. Any ideas why this is happening.
i have same on photosmart 5510 wireless notebook windows 7 added a small length of blank paper to entry of photopaper and it works but why does this happen

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. -
How can I print off my I pad for bank statements on reg paper not 4x6 photo paper?
How nice of you to wait three whole minutes for an answer.
I don't know what you mean by "I have to snapshot it first". Can you explain what you mean? If you're making a screenshot and printing from your photo application, you're going about things in a very odd way. You should be using the Share - Print icon from whatever app (Safari?) your bank statement is in.

C5180 won't print on 4" x 6" photo paper
I can no longer print on 4 x 6 photo paper from my C5180 (purchased 2007). The only paper choices on the drop down are "letter" and "A4". This happened after my files and software were put onto a new computter. I just reinstalled the C5180 driver from the HP website, but I still can't get back the photo-paper sizes or options. My photos are in Kodak EasyShare and also outside Kodak, as basic "lloose" .JPGS. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hello Newtonian,
GO to control panel and printers (depends on which os you have on how) rightclick the icon of your printer and select printing preferances. Go to the features tab and with paper size select more, here you normally can select the correct size. If note use custom to make your own size.

HP x64 printer--won't take glossy photo paper
This printer will not take glossy photo paper--it simply grinds and message reads "Out of paper". It will print matte photo paper and regular paper, but not glossy photo. I bought HP glossy photo paper and that won't even work.
Hi,
What is the exact paper type?
The printer specifications does not list Glossy Paper as a supported media, any supported media is listed under Paper-handling specifications > Supported photo paper:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04085902&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5367608&tas...
What is the exact media type and weight, that may also help identifyig the issue, the exact paper type should be listed on its packaging...

Photosmart c4780 is only printing half way when I print on 4x6 photo paper.
I've having problems on my HP Photosmart C4780. When I load a 4x6 inch photo paper it pulls the paper in, starts printing, pushed the paper out, but has only printed half of my photo.
It looks as if it starts printing before it reaches the paper becasue the back has ink lines on it and when comparing it with what prints, to what should print, the photo looks like it starts printing at the middle and is right up against the leading edge of the photo paper.
There are no error messages at all.

b. windows 7
3. no error messages
4. new printer added 1 day ago....prints from bottom paper tray only from computer but prints from both trays from the printer itselfI'm having the same problem. Is there something in the software that I am missing. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery software for the image, adjust the photo size to 4x6. It prints a 4x6 photo on the 8x10 paper. How do I tell the printer to use the size paper I am wanting for each photo? Can it be changed print by print? How do I switch it back to the 8x10 paper tray when needed? Is there a page in the manual I can refer to? Thanks for any assistance.

Printing on HP 4x6 Photo Paper with HP 8620/8625 printer
How do you print pictures on 4x6 HP Photopaper using the HP8620 printer? I can't believe there are no instructions in the 30 language manual the comes with it. I've loaded the paper with the shiney side down, the paper feeds, but I get "Paper type Mismatch" error.
Right now I'm trying to print with Picasa. I had no problem on my HP C309g printer.
Thank you in advance. I'm about to take this thing back!

Good news, you can "add" a form for the 4X6 or 4X6.5 (tabbed) paper size.
The basic instructions are already available for the printer, though not where you'd expect:
Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
I created a new 4X6.5in form so I could use my 4X6 inch tabbed photo paper in my new printer. The printer was throwing "paper mismatch" errors at the 4X6 form.
The examples to create the form are included in this document:
Printing Preferences
See Section titled:
Custom Paper Sizes

How to print on the back of photo paper so it will dry.
I need to print on the back of some photos I have. I am using an HP Officejet Pro 8500A using Windows 7. I have tried to print on these photos but the ink will not dry.
The paper I am using is 4x6 glossy everyday photo paper.
What should I change in the settings to get the ink to dry????
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
most of the Photo Paper will only allow you to print on a single side.
Unless the used Photo Paper is intended for double side printing you will not be able to print on the back of the paper.
There are no different settings for any of the sided, it only depand on the used media.

Printing on 4" by 6" photo paper
I have no trouble in printing my photos on A4 paper, using hp psc1350 printer. However, 4' by 6' prints capture only part of the image. I set the printer to 'Fit to page' and 'Photo' paper type. I set the paper size under the custom part (10 by 15 centimetres) in Page Set Up. In Print mode, I set the size to '4 by6'. Under the Advanced tab, I change the paper quality to that of photo paper. but still, I get partial prints only. Surely I have missed a simple step somewhere?
You have cropped it to 4x6 in iPhoto before trying to print, correct? With my two printers I use the borderless 4x6 setting in Page Setup and in the iPhoto print window I select the specific printer again and then Standard Prints, 4x6 and click on the 1 photo per page checkbox.
