Have you tried exporting image to desktop and open in Preview and print from here?

Also, were you successful using the 8150 through iPhoto?

First of all thank you for responding. I tried your suggestion as best I could. I forgot I had 8x10 copy paper in tray and that is what my picture printer on. Next put in photo paper 4x6 in photo tray and machine still said out of paper load more. I even tried to put 4x6 photo paper in main paper tray would not take it. I didn't have any success with the 8150 either.

You are not going to believe this I finally was able to print on 4x6. You won't believe what I was doing wrong. I didn't have the paper tray push far enough into the printer for it to be taken. Ha Ha Well thanks for all your help. Now I can print all of my photos that I have save on my computer. Kim

I'm having the same problem but I've checked and my 4x6 tray is definitey in all the way - can anyone tell me how to print 4 x 6 prints. I have an HP Photosmart 7960. Also, does anyone know why the copies don't print as well from Iphoto than when you insert the memory chip directly into the printer?

Hi I am no expert by any means but I will let you know that I didn't print my 4x6's from my photo tray I use the main paper tray. The only time I use my photo tray is when I am printing my photos from my memory card.
