HP 8710

i changed my printer to photo paper because i was using cardstock paper and it did copy very slowly like it was printing a photo.

i have repeatedly tried changing the paper icon to copy paper and it is staying at photo paper and copying very  slowly like it would a photo.   can i set back to factory default?  

i do not have a menu on my screen. just a home button and i have gone into every option including pressing on copy paper and it acts like it is photo paper when printing...

it is taking forever to copy one page...

help....thank you

Printers do not generally like (and some won't tolerate) using a Photo paper print job setting when, in fact, you have other than photo paper loaded in the tray.  Sometimes the printer might refuse to print -- other times the job might print but take forever while it fights the paper size, type, and settings.

In general, this printer supports using the printer control panel to modify / edit / confirm the paper size and type settings either after the paper is changed or after the paper tray is opened and then closed.
