HP photosmart 8100 will not print from photo tray of picture online, only main tray. IT WILL PRINT from photo tray when I print selected photos from a camera card, so problem is not with the tray or rollers. Just got a new laptop with Windows 8. Did this mess it up. How do I fix this?

If your didn't installed the software that came with the printer then that mgiht the probem. Some software with the printer will give you options to choose which tray you want to print from. By default its always the main tray that the printer will use to print anything. Hope this helped.

It probably don't support that function via the internet... or it may just be a setting your missing by default its not going to use the more expensive paper for internet printing although for a camera card it would because odds are your printing pictures from a Camera Card.... so in short no you didn't mess anything up its just a matter of settings or worst case put the internet photo on the camera stick and print it that way...TAA DAA

Hp c6180 won't print from 4x6 photo paper tray
If you put regular paper in the tray as it is asking does the printer use the regular paper to print the picture? If so, be sure the 4x6 photo paper tray (with photo paper) is pushed all the way in, and when you select print there should be an option (probably hidden in a submenu) to select the photo tray as the paper source. If you are printing from Adobe Acrobat, I have not found a reliable way to get the c6180 to use the photo paper tray. I hope this helps.

The problem is in your printer set up. When you go to print, select the type of paper, size, horizontal or vertical print mode. If you do not designate photo with size and paper type; it defaults to standard 8x10 paper from the lower tray. This is all explained in your printer manual or on line at HP.com.

Mac Leopard OS: Can't print from photo tray
Here's the trick. It took me an hour to figure this puzzle out myself. DO NOT select the Print icon at the bottom of iPhoto. Do NOT select Print from the File menu. DO select EXPORT from the File menu. Select the HP Photosmart Mac tab Select HP Photosmart Print.app from the app selector. Click the Export button. HP Photosmart Print.app will load with a new print dialog box. Make all necessary selections. This is where you can select the Photo Tray as the tray for the printer to take paper from. This solved MY problem! Let us know if this helps you!

HP Photosmart D7360-Won't print from photo tray
You have to push in the photo tray~. Push until you hear it click...then it will print from the print tray and in turn, you will be able to print photos unto your glossy photo paper instead of the letter size paper.
