I am trying to print photos on our printer... I bought brochure paper because I figured it would do the same job, and no one around here had any available. It will not load into the machine correctly. I have put the settings on heavyweight, and glossy with the 180g/m, neither work.  Not sure if the printer doesn’t handle that type of paper, or if I’m doing something wrong

Thank you for the info. Question however, if it says it can handle extra heavy media types, whats it matter if it's brochure paper? Its in the media weight range ( both metric and US) that is also supported.

I have tried using the HP program that came with the printer, as well as the computer picture program itself. We have a Lenovo computer that is used regularly, and i believe updated regularly as well. I will not download anything else onto that computer, so i will try this with my laptop tomorrow. See if that helps. and i will reply again with my findings. Thank you for all the help.
