Printing photos from my computer using hp 6520 printer won't pick up photo paper.

I have a new HP 6520.  When I try to print photos from my computer, I get an error message that the paper tray is empty.  It does not pick up the photo paper and print.  Help!!!

1. My paper tray(s) are propertly loaded, I'm not a novice. 2.  The bottom tray is LOADED properly.  3.  The UPPER PHOTO TRAY is also loaded properly, shiny side down of course, properly filled and pushed forward as far as it can go. (It worked fine an hour ago when I printed a couple of photos). 4. Now no matter what I do, how I specify photo paper size, IT ONLY PRINTS OUT ON REGULAR PAPER FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY (8"X10") ordinary paper!! 5. When I UNLOAD the bottom tray, in an attempt to "fool" the device so that there's is NOTHING BUT photo paper, I get a prompt telling me I must load the paper before it will print the photo!  Of course when I reload the bottom tray with the ordinary paper, it still prints out the photo FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY PAPER!!   I'm wasting ink and paper and I'm not happy. I was on the phone for more than 2 hours two weeks' ago getting the first NEW printer set up and it was decided by all four techs I spoke to that I indeed needed to have a new device. 6.  I received this replacement device just 4 days ago, another couple of hours speaking to India, finally worked ok, even unti earlier this evening but NOW it will NOT use photo paper from the upper tray. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE TROUBLESOME HP6520'S?   I had a Photosmart 560 for years until it "died" a few weeks' ago and since then, this is my story with this product. You can check with India tech support to find my complete dealings with them vis-a-vis this product.
AND when I tried to sign up for this support 3 times I got refused telling me that the screen name I offered was already taken. Apparently the app was taking my information from when I may have signed up a couple of years' ago when I had an issue with my Photosmart 560.

    Hi deekswife,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you want to view Photo Stream photos on a Windows computer you will first need the iCloud Control Panel installed. Once installed, there will be an iCloud Photos location selected on your computer. Please review the following article as a reference.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13693
    On a Windows computer
    Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
    To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
    Click Apply.

  • Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?

    Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?
    I am able to print to the photo tray when I print from a memory card, inserted directly into the printer.  However, when I try to print a picture saved directly to my laptop through my wireless connection, the picture prints from the main tray.  If I take the paper out of the main tray, I get the out of paper message.  When I first bought the printer, I had no problems with this issue.  The printer is about 2-3 years old.  I have gone into the HP software on my laptop and set the preferences for photo tray, along with the size I wanted and the photo paper I was using.  By the way, it is HP photo paper.  I have also done the same on the print screen on my laptop.  In addition, I have gone into preferences on the printer itself and chosen "Prompt for photo tray."  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software on my laptop.  I successfully printed the "practice picture" during the reinstalling process.  None of this has solved the problem.  
    I have no problem printing a document from my laptop wirelessly to the printer. 

    Hi mountainnana,
    Thank you for your response, sorry the guide was not what you were looking for.
    Here are some other suggestions:
    Open the HP Solution Center (icon is normally on the desktop.) Click on Set Preferences, Click on the Paper/Quality tab, for the Source choose Tray 2, choose the right paper size and media type. Click Apply, and then OK. Then try printing your photo again.
    If that does not work there could be a driver/software conflict happening. If that is the case please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Otherwise, proceed with a uninstall and reinstall of your printer software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this solves your issue, and have a good day!

  • Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

    Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?  I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro.  I have aperture 3 on both units.  Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

    You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

    I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

    What is the best program to use on Mac for editing, cropping photos from my computer. Looking for a free program that is good.

    If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
    http://picasa.google.com/
      It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
    http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/  Also a free download.

    Is there a way I can save them
    Hope somebody out there could let me know
    Many Thanks

    Only the contents of the most recent sync remain on the iPad, so if you want to sync multiple folders then you need to sync them in one go - in which case the folders will need to be directly off the same parent folder (otherwise they can't all be selected). Not including a folder in a subsequent sync is the way by which you delete them off the iPad. More info on photo syncing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

    After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations.  In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export...  In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information".  Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
    In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others.  In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji.  But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector.  The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
    Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
    http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
    exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
    Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto.  If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
    exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
    I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data.  Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
    The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy.  Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

    Thanks for the pointer.  I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
    The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy.  Copy the photos to the new Library.  Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc).  Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
    iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working).  But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.
