HP laser jet 200 color MFP M276NW

When I try to print on photo paper the picture is very faded and you can barely make it out but when I print on regular paper the image seems to print fine. I have tried from mobile device and laptop as well as any kind of printing options I can think of. I'm using Kodak xtra life paper and I believe it's a high gloss. Thanks for any help!

Are you certain this paper is designed for Laserjet printers? A check of Kodak's website shows only inkjet paper which will not work in a laserjet due to the coatings on the paper that are designed to absorb ink.

I am not sure. It's a new printer and I wasnt aware you could only use a paper designed for laser jet printers. Thanks so much for your help and time!

If there is such a thing a photo paper for Laser printers, I can't find it.  Searched the web and it always comes up with paper of inkjet printers. Where do do find such an animal?

Even Hp does not make Photo paper for its laser printers.  Why does it advertise that the laser printers will give "beautiful Color Photos"?  There is glossy paper for brochures and such, but not for quality photos.  Your answer is misleading and incomplete!
