Re: Wet smudgy lines on printing 6x4" photos, on glossy...
Before you hit the [Print] button, click on the [Properties] button. Then you have to find the setting where you select various types of paper. Select Glossy Photopaper and see if that helps.

You need to specify the paper type when the print dialog box appears.
Heavy glossy paper needs to spend more time in the fuser so that the
toner is fixed.
"Photo black" is designed specifically for glossy photo paper. Matte black is for non-glossy paper, including plain paper. Matte black will print darker on non-glossy paper than photo black does.

You have to match your print settings with the correct type of media used !
When you print, set the preferences, set to PHOTO quality and not draft, set paper type to PHOTO PAPER, or GLOSSY PHOTO PAPER whichever - If you select wrong media type your colors might be off. Select the settings that match the closest to your media. If you use paper use "plain paper" setting, if you use glossy photo paper, use "glossy photo paper" as settings and PHOTO quality.
I recommend use you use inkjet PHOTO paper, glossy, you can use HP or EPSON or even the cheap LIKON ones work amazing for me, they should be able to dry quickly, if they don't you are not using the correct settings.
By your description above it looks like you are using economy or draft mode - NOT good for photo paper.
hallow ,,,if your lookin to just print black and white so .while printing ,go the printing properties or prefrencies ,,in the colour option click just use black and white
Epson's ink uses a dift technology so far better result you need to check what brand of glossy or photo paper you can use. You can purchase an epson photo or glossy paper for best results.
Your printer would work best using the list below:
Paper Types
Supports a variety of Epson plain and photo papers. Supports plain,
bond, air mail, Epson Premium Bright White, Glossy Photo Paper, Premium
Glossy Photo Paper, Premium Semigloss Paper, Premium Luster Paper,
ColorLife paper, Matte Paper Heavyweight, Double-sided Matte, Inkjet

Greeting Cards, High Quality Banner paper; labels; envelopes, Iron-on

I just sussed this issue out. On the front of the printer tray there is another pull out tray, this opens up and must activate the photo printing for A4 because it stops the paper falling on the floor once printed (cos once printed on photo paper it may still be wet). As soon as I opened the tray (and it then opens again - you'll see what I mean) it printed A4 photo paper perfectly
Hope this helps others
