iMac 2.8 OS10.5.6/ HP C7200 series printer questions

Hello, I would like to print a 4 x 6 photo on my HP C7200series printer from iphoto, using 4x6 photo paper. I have the 4x6 photo paper and the separate tray to put it in the printer. However, even if I change the print size to the 4x6, it will not use that tray. It uses the regular paper tray, and prints a 4 x 6 photo. I want to use it straight from iphoto, rather than insert a memory card. Otherwise it prints great and works well. Any suggestions?

Any tray selection buttons on the printer itself?

Manual:

To print a borderless image
1. Load up to 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) paper in the photo tray or full-size photo paper in the main input tray.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. Make sure the HP All-in-One is the selected printer.
4. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. Click the Features tab.
6. In the Size list, click the size of photo paper loaded in the photo tray.
If a borderless image can be printed on the specified size, the Borderless printing
check box is enabled.
7. In the Paper Type drop-down list, click More, and then select the appropriate paper
type.
NOTE: You cannot print a borderless image if the paper type is set to Plain
paper or to a type of paper other than a photo paper.
8. Select the Borderless printing check box if it is not already checked.
If the borderless paper size and paper type are not compatible, the HP All-in-One
software displays an alert and allows you to select a different type or size.
9. Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums

What version of iPhoto do you have?

for '08 and '09 select the photo (crop it to 4x6), click print and select the printer and print size (4x6) and paper size (border less), click print and in the resulting print window toward the bottom there is a pull down menu to select printer specific options including paper source - it it is not there click the little gray triangle to the right of the printer name to expand the window
