Which printer is recommended by real users to print on glossy photo paper?

My MG8100 can't seem to grab the glossy photo paper when I am printing pictures. Very frustrating to spend so much on a machine that is for printing photos and the rollers are plastic and won't grab the glossy paper. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for the updated information!
This type of paper is supported with the printer. There are a few things we can check as to why it is not pulling it. First, make sure the glossy paper is being loaded into the rear tray of the printer. It cannot be pulled from the bottom tray. Also, if you load too many sheets, it may not be pulled. To help test the issue, try loading just one sheet and try again.
If all else fails, please run through a few roller cleanings. Check out the link below for step-by-step directions:

If the issue persists, we'll need to do a little more troubleshooting to determine what may be occurring. Please reach us at http://bit.ly/Phone_Support for further assistance.

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:

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...

Hi
Its simple, first of all break ur data in terms of pages. Write the logic in one JSP.
suppose i have jsp PrintReport.jsp , for page 1 url will PrintReport.jsp?page=0 ... so on
get the page parameter in JSP
String page="";
if(request.getParameter("page")!=null)
page=request.getParameter("page");
get the rowcount from the Result and assume records per page is 100
if u have 1000 rows then 10 pages u have to serve
StartRowNumber=page*recordsPerPage
EndRowNumber=StartRowNumber+recordsPerPage
Execute a SQL query , select * from table where rownum between
StartRowNumber and EndRowNumber
Provide google like pageNumbers in ur HTML page
ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 ..10
Regarding printing , Create HTML button called 'print' and add Javascript ' window.print()' on clicking it.
Hope it would solve ur problem
Cheers

My friend sent me a picture in an email. How do I print this picture on my printer on photopaperp in my printer? I also have problems printing a picture sent to me as an attachments on photo paper in my printer? Thanks!

I set the preferences to photo paper photo paper dispenser, but it still prints on the regular paper instead of photo paper? Also set size to border less 4" by 6'. Thanks for your help! Ozz

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

Why are the whites in my graphic printing out as a tainted brown yellow both on regular & photo pape

Hi,
I just aquired a couple HP photosmart printers. One is a C4480 the other a C4580 all in one printer.
I have just put new inks in both of them and ran the test page and the following alignment calibration with no discernable issues.
I ran a test print page as well as cleaning the print heads. Everything looks accurate and vivid.
Now when I print a graphic that I made either on regular paper or HP Advanced Photo paper the whole thing comes out with a hazy yellow brown that is very noticable especially where it should be white. It looks like they were dipped in dirty dishwater on lasagna night.
Has anyone else had this color muddling problem and if so was there a solution to it? If I take the same graphic to the local copy store it prints crisp blacks and whites with no yellow staining. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and what application are we printing from?

Printer profiles not recognised in Photoshop CS6 print dialogue

Note that the Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat print dialogues see all my (custom) printer profiles.
Even Photoshop sees them in the Apply Profile and Convert to Profile dialogues: just not when trying to print.
Is this a known problem?

Thanks, Jeff. This issue goes far beyond Adobe. I'm trying to resolve colorspace problems that get even more confusing when there are multiple web pages or other documents at multiple websites, including software companies and camera companies that have conflicting information for the same thing. I don't want to add something else into the mix that may make things worse. Unless the user can have the settings that they know worked on their device to rely on as a point of reference to make controlled changes to accommodate a software change, it's like taking two handfulls of M&Ms to represent various colorspaces in three places in a program and using trial and error to figure out which two or three colors to use and in which order. I think of this as informative dialog and not venting.
Update: After burning through another color ink cartridge and 20 more sheets of Kodak glossy photo paper, I managed to come up with a combination of profiles and colorspaces that are acceptable with the Kodak ESP9 printer in PS CS6. While Adobe RGB should work from the Nikon D7000 JPEG for a larger color gamut, with the Kodak printer, the colors were dull. Went back to sRGB in the camera and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the working RGB profile. In this printer, color management cannot be disabled in the printer itself, so I selected Adobe RGB. In the PS Print Settings Color Management, PS Manages Colors, and the Printer Profile is Beta RGB (Adobe RGB is not an available choice). After increasing the photo brightness to about +20, the contrast slightly, and increasing the shadows setting to bring out the shadowed areas somewhat, the printed photo is a close match to the on-screen image on the calibrated LED monitor. When I tried CIE RGB, the colors were more saturated but had too much blue. Maybe this will help others.

Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
We are using Adobe Reader 8
The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application. The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all. The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer). This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
Thanks!

No.

Cannot Print to 5x7 Photo Paper with iPhoto

I just bought my first iMac and hooked it up to my Epson 730 Artison printer, which is designed to work with Apple products. Whenever I print a photo it always prints to the 8.5x11 inch paper instead of the photo paper, which is located above the 8.5x11 inch paper. This happens even when I select the 5x7 inch paper size and select glossy photo paper in iPhoto. In fact, it does not matter what combination of options I select from iPhoto in terms of the print options, it just prints it to 8.5x11 no matter what.
Is there some way to make iPhoto print to the size of paper that I choose with Epson products? There are two sizes of paper which can be loaded in the tray at the same time, in case you haven't seen one.
(Tearing hair out after an entire evening wasted trying to print one 5x7 glossy photo.)
Thank you very much.
David

I'm so embarrassed. The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine.
I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

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.

My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

That's not really the answer.
The problem is that it will print at the correct saturation/quality only when borderless printing is not used. I purchased this item because I wanted to be able to print full color borderless prints on a full 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I don't want to have to buy special glossy photo paper just to print borderless. Is this the truth of the matter? You cannot print borderless prints on plain paper without sacrificing significant quality? Does it always assume when you set it to borderless, whether youre in the standard print menu or the photo print menu, that you're printing a photo and it will then default to printing lightly? This is outrageous. They should say something about this in the manual.

Close out of the mail app, double click the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check your mail again.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier prints only in black/MAC USER & won't align?

PROBLEM # 1) I've replaced all my ink cartridges, but can't find out why my printer is now only printing in black? I'm a MAC user, so I want to print in color, and am trying to find instructions for a MAC on how to get back to printing in color?
ACTION TAKEN #1
UPDATE: I've done a three level cleaning of the printer heads, which DOES print in color and each color block now looks great. The printer heads were not printing any color blocks, but the pink color block, until the first third level cleaning. I then cleaned the printer heads a second time all the way through the third level.
RESULT: However when I print from any document/web page my printer only still prints in black & white after these two printer adjustments double three stage printer cartridge claening?
ACTION TAKEN #2
I found this very detailed report and video on cleaning printer heads, alignment issues, and calibrate line feeds;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01624398&lc=en&product=3964986&tmp...
The Print Quality Diagnostics Page looks perfect (including the alignment section) in all 3 test patterns, and again prints in color.
RESULT: However, my printer still will not print in color after trying all these steps?
IPROBLEM #2)I 've also tried a align printer which also prints in color, but states, "alignment failed see documentation manual"? To make the situation more complicated the alignment page looks perfect and prints in color before the error message displays.
After puling the power cord twice while ON and wiating 20 seconds, as discussed in the above link. my printer "won't remove the, "align error message see diagnostics manual".
RESULT: Printer "won't remove the, "align error message see diagnostics manual", even though the Printer Diagnostic Pages looks great, and the alignment page as well.
I'm operating a lastest version Macbook Air laptop OS X 10.9.4. I have not upgraded to a new operating system since this problem started a week ago, and Ive owned this HP Printer for 2 years.
UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED. Well you can imagine when I say that I spent about 2 hours on this yesterday that yea he's right. This took a long time to research and try all these solutions. I told my wife about the issue and had her try:
ACTION TAKEN #3: Print a page from a second computer. Windows laptop printed a colored page from a web site.
SOLUTION: (Printing only in Black Color): Wife literally solved the problem in 3 minutes!
Look below at the presets drop-down arrow tab, which is right below the printer name: You will see PLAIN PAPER, FAST DRAFT, BLACK AN(D WHITE). I'm not sure how I checked this, but this is how you can print only in black ink. NOTE: I looked at dozens of answers across the web, and didn't find this info anywhere else!
This screen shot show you what the setting should be if you want to print in fast draft mode to use the least amount of color ink.

Hi monkplayer,
It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
Best of luck,

Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
