HP Photosmart D7260 Printer, won't feed from the photo paper tray.

On my parents computer they use a HP Photosmart D7260 Printer and I'm trying to print off on photo paper but for some reason it keeps on feeding from the main tray I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this i've been though all the settings changed the paper to the right kind , in all the options, there's no reason why it should not work. Can any one give me any ideas how to fix this?

Please help

Hi Travel_guy, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

My D7460 drove me crazy too, you have to start a Print with CMD+p or whatever, click on the 3rd drop down menu that says Copies & Pages, choose Paper handling, then Destination Paper Size... 4*6 or whatever, then go up to Presets & Save As..., give it a name... those settings will load automaticxally when you choose that Preset & Printer next time! 🙂
