Printing Photos on Photo Paper

I have an HP 7280 Half the time it prints on plain paper instead of photo paper Also, when the 4x6 photo paper is in the photo tray, the printer error message says to put paper in the Main Tray, even though I'm trying to print on photo paper. How frustrating! Can you help? Many thanks!

    all photos sent from my pc print straight onto normal paper rather than print onto the photo paper regardless of the settings.

    problem is when printing from a memory card or straight from camara there is no proble, when printing from COMPUTER there is when the problem comes in, it prints the photos on the plain white paper instead of the photo paper in the 4 x 6 tray.

Ensure u are placing the paper in the photo tray..
if u r printing from the memory card which is inserted in the printer..ensure that the PHOTO BUTTON on the printer is on..
You can also try to reset the printer by going to the SETTINGS/TOOLS menu (RENCH SYMBOL) and then look for the Factory Restore (Might be under "Preferences")

Prints only top half of photos on top half of

I suggest that you go into the printer properties section on control panel. There Will be a section which allows you to tell the printer the type of paper, size desired, orientation of photo to horizon and etc. There is also likely a selectable setup procedure on the printer's own display to do the same... It sounds like a basic setup format issue....
