In the same tray as the plain paper. Either replace the plain paper with photo paper or just place the photo paper on top of the plain paper. Don't forget to remove the excess photo paper after you have finished printer photos.
Some printers detect the type of paper you are using, and print accordingly. Do you have photo cartridges installed? If not, that will trigger an error message. Try putting a smaller amount of sheets in the paper feed- that can sometimes trigger an error message, I've read in reviews. Double check the printer to make sure there, indeed, isn't a paper jam. The type of paper one uses with certain printers can be an issue, so google your printer make and model number and then type something like suggested paper type, or things similar, and you will get some sites that discuss problems with different printers and paper types, and also suggestions of which paper will work well with which printer.
I couldn't find any specific information since I didn't have a make and model number, but hope this general information helps.
Good luck, and thanks for using FixYa.
It's the top rollers, the paper is too slick to get through them. I'm using HP photo paper, in an HP printer. It needs to do a 180, but gets jammed right where it prints, so the paper never makes it to the ink. It's an engineering problem by HP. I suggest putting a rough surface on the top edge of the photo paper, something removable but rough enough for the printer to pull the photo paper through.
This is not the fault of printer. Choose those type of photo paper, whose thickness is equal to executive bond paper. This type of printer do not catch the thick photo quality paper
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.
There is photo paper for inkjets and photo paper for copiers. The inkjet photo paper will melt. Not all machines can use photo paper because it can't grasp the glossy side.
did It use photo paper before? If not, don't try. You will likey damage the drums or other parts.
Are you using photo paper to print your photos? If you print photos using regular paper, the ink will spread out in the paper fibers of non photo paper and make the photos appear dull. I would try using paper made to print photos and see if that helps
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.
