Printer will not pick up photo paper and print.  It keeps trying to take paper from the main paper tray. Rebooted Macbook pro and the printer.  Selected 4 x 6 photo, glossy photo paper, postcard size. Deleted and readded the Eny 7640.

Thanks, this did help.    I also changed from "postcard" to small photo borderless to print a 4 x 6 photo.  But putting HP  photo paper all the way in to the stop resulted in the printer not seeing the paper which was the real problem. Once I did that, I got a message to add paper even though there was paper in the photo tray but at least it wasn't trying to go to the main paper tray.  I had to push a page past the photo paper stop to get it to be recognized. Is there a roller or mechanism to clean?  It won't pick up paper consistently either face down or face up when I place photo paper all the way to the stop. 

 

Thanks
