Printing Photos on HP Photosmart 6280

Is anybody able to print 4x6 photos on an HP Photosmart 6280? I cannot get the printer to use the photo tray rather than the main tray, no matter what.
I have the newest HP drivers downloaded and installed. I am choosing "Photo tray" on the print dialog and 4x6 size paper.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem until I followed the instructions on the HP website. Here's the link:

Hope it works for you too!

  • Printing photos on HP photosmart C309a from Lr in Windows 8 OS

    I am unable to make the Lr 5 to print on my HP photosmart C309a. Previously I had Lr 5 running on my PC with Windows 7 and I was able to use the same HP printer to print both from the main tray and photo tray. Now I cannot get any photos from Lr printed, while the printer does print a test page ok from Device Manager.

    In the drivers section I did select HP and C309a and in the device manager it states the unit working properly.
    I believe I had also visited HP's download site and downloaded their driver for  W8 for this printer, but will go through that step one more time.

  • Printing photos on HP Photosmart 6515 from HP Photocreat​ions

    I created a Christmas Collage Print on HP Photocreations.  However, when I try to print on my HP Photosmart 6515 it will not allow me to print on 5x7 photo paper.  Can I do this, or am I limited to printing on paper only?
    Is there a way to save a jpg of the image and print it that way?  I've spend several hours trying to trouble shoot and am frustrated.  Thanks!

    Sorry, I have to say I have never used Photocreations, but are you saying it doesn't give you the option to use the system print dialog (which would give you the option to select a paper size from a long list including 5x7), and it let you create 5x7 collage but not print 5x7?
    Do you have the hp driver installed? Which OS are you working on?

  • Printing Photos with the Photosmart B210a so they are not blurry and full of ink

    I purchased the B210a to replace an older photosmart that just stopped printing.  When the old printer did photos they were great.  Had no trouble setting printet up to run on a wireless network and am using a computer with WINXP. 
    Photos that come out are grainy and full of ink, so much so that I get ink all over my hands.  I have done all the things you usually do, clean printheads, checked the vents, align the printhead.  No change in how the photo prints.  Went out and bought HP advanced photo paper as all I had was photo paper for an epson picturemate. Nothing.
    Everything else on the printer works fine, it prints great and the scanner works very well.  The photos are a big disappointment. At this point I am debating contacting HP Support directly or just taking the thing back and getting a different printer.  Printer is only about a week out of the box at this point.
    Any help woud be greatly appreciated.  I did find a thread about this but it was way too detailed and technical for me to follow all the steps the posted.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    We are having the exact same problem.  I happened to have one sheet of HP paper (from an even older HP photo printer and it seemed to print just fine.  So I think the Kodak stuff (I have a lot of it too) is just not compatible with the HP 6510.  I'm going to get some other paper tomorrow and see what works.

  • Printing photo get half the image on some paper

    I have printed photos on my Photosmart C4580 without a problem in the past.  Now it prints text from my Mac OS 10.6.8 without a problem but on 4x6 photos, the top half of the photo paper is blank, half the image appears, and there are ink streaks on the back.  
    Strangely, this happens ONLY with premium paper (KodakPremium, gloss) and NOT if I use Kodak everyday paper, also gloss. (I left all the settings the same when I switched paper.) This seems really weird! 
    Removing the printer and adding it back did not help.
    Thanks for any suggestions, Snapperblue

    Hi there @snapperblue , welcome back
    I'de personally suggest trying different paper type settings, and even trying a different paper type altogether. Perhaps try changing the quality as well.
    Here are some guides for you to check out that might help:
    Changing Print Settings in Mac OS X
    Streaks or Lines in the Printed Image
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

  • I cannot print photos with my 2610 Photosmart All in One. It does all else well, I get a message tha

    My Photosmart 2610 All in One works percectly except it wont print photos from my files. The printer is about 6 years old and is no longer supported by HP. I have the original set-up disc. Can I use it by using that set-up disc?

    The router has to support Bonjour for airprint to work.  I don't know whether yours does or not - hopefully someone else will be able to say. One frequent suggestion for this problem is to be sure you router has the latest firmware installed.

  • HP Photosmart C5280 prints photo's on the backside the photopaper

    Hello,
    When I'm trying to print out a photo, my HP Photosmart C5280 prints the photo on the backside of the photopaper. If lay the paper on the other side, the printer says I should turn it back. What should I do?

    Hi there z45I150,
    First lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    To make sure there are no software glitches causing the problem. It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Additionally can you tell us what program you are printing from?
    Best of Luck!

  • Incorrect color when printing photos--HP Photosmart C5280

    Good afternoon.  The color is WAY off when printing photos.  Am using an HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One.  Colors appear somewhat muted, as well as having too much red and yellow.  Have tried adjusting color, but then photo definition is lost.  Do photo pixels have anything to do with color quality?

    I have exactly the same problem with my hp photosmart c5380. Have you had any sucess with yours as i have tried every thing I can think of without any sucess

  • Printing photos from the HP Photosmart 6515- won't pick up the photo paper

    I am trying to print photos from my HP Photosmart 6515. I have loaded the photo paper as the videos show, but the printer does not want to pick up the photo paper. I keep getting an error messge that says I am out of paper. If I put regular paper back into the printer, it will print on the regular paper, but not the photo paper. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello jackie4,
    I understand you are getting an 'Out of Paper' error when trying to pick up photo paper on your Deskjet 3515. I would like you to go ahead start troubleshooting An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ....
    Please let me know if this was successful at resolving the error message, if you require more assistance I would be happy to help.

  • Cannot print photos from PhotoSmart

    I am unable to print photos in PhotoSmart.  Once I select a photo and say "print", I only get a message saying that the photo size is too large for the paper size.  I am unable to change the paper size in the menu to the right.  Thus, I cannot print anything.  All of the other functions appear to be working.

    Good morning,
    If you post this question in the printing section of the forum, it will probably get better exposure to folks who know the printers better than most of us in this section do.

    The link takes you to the Other Printing Questions section.  That might be a good place for it, or perhaps one of the other printing sections.

  • Unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer.

    I am unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer.  There are no option listed for any size borderless printing when i choose the paper size and paper type.   I am running Windows 7 Home Premium  64-bit. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I found it. Once you hit print, click on the options link. It opens a separate window. In that window there are two links, one says color management and the other says printer properties, click printer properties. That opens a new window, in that window click the advanced button. That opens a new window titled HP 7510 Advanced options, under the printer feature section near the bottom you will see "Borderless Printing". Left click on that and to the right a drop down menu opens, select borderless, hit ok. After you do this, it will print borderless however you will still NOT see that option when you print, like you used to with the older HP printers. I couldn't find it in the help section, I just stumbled upon it, very frustrating! It will print borderless.
