I have a MFP M281fdw printer and HP Inkjet paper (CH097a) that is 5x7" (127x178mm; 53lb 200g/m2). I cannot get photos to printer properly. I've tried the manual feed (tray 1) and putting the 5x7 paper in tray 2. All photos I print are cut-off.
I've tried the following combinations w/o success:
Paper Size
8.5x11
JIS B6 (5.04x7.17)
Japan double Hagaki Postcard Rotated (5.83x7.87)
5x8
I always use Paper Type = Card Glossy (176-220g)
I've also tried 'shrink to fit' and 'fill page.' with the above paper sizes.
Any help would be great.

@shamus57, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
According to the printer specifications, this model printer does not support printing on a 5x7 paper. You may check under Paper handling section.
