I am trying to print to the photo tray from my apple mac using preview. My printer is a HP Photosmart C7280 all in one. Every time I try it uses the main tray and defaults to A4 despite selecting the photo tray. Can anyone offer any solution to this for me?
Thank you.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Did you try to take the paper out of the main tray?
I had a similar printer and found that it was pretty stubborn, but eventually I could get it to print from the photo tray.
Can you print from the photo tray from the USB port?
Hi - Yes I did that and it still does not work. I can not seem to print from the mac to the photo tray at all. Maybe part of the problem is that it does not seem to have the right size paper for selection on the mac It just does not work.
However your tip printing from the USB port is a good work around. That works. Thank you very much for this idea which gives a solution. I will keep trying to find a solution to print from the mac to the HP Photosmart C7280 printer but thank you for your assitance and providing a great work around.
I was certainly able to print to 4x6 paper in the photo tray. I just had to select that size paper. What program are you printing from?
