HP ENVY Photo 7855

I put 4x6 photo paper in the photo paper tray and attempted to print one photo since it was my first time trying to do so.  It asked that I put regular paper in the main tray.  I proceeded to put regular printer paper in the main tray and tried again. My photo printed, but on the printer paper, not the photo paper.  Trying to eventually print off a lot of photos for Christmas gifts this upcoming weekend.

 

Thanks!

Ethan
