Welcome to the HP Community.
Yes, you can use glossy photo paper in the printer as long as it meets supported paper size, supported paper weight, and quality requirements.
Product Specifications for the HP Smart Tank 500 All-in-One (4SR29A)
Paper Handling (partial excerpt)
Media types | Plain Paper, HP Photo Papers, HP Matte Brochure or Professional Paper, HP Matte Presentation Paper, HP Glossy Brochure or Professional Paper, Other Photo Inkjet Papers, Other Matte Inkjet Papers, Other Glossy Inkjet Papers, Inkjet Hagaki, Plain Paper, Thick, HP Tri-fold Brochure Paper, Glossy, Plain Paper, Light/Recycled |
Media weight supported (metric) | Plain paper: 60 to 90 g/m²; Envelopes: 75 to 90 g/m²; Cards: up to 200 g/m²; Photo paper: up to 300 g/m² |
What does "quality requirement" mean?
HP printers will generally work with any high-quality paper with a quality assured preference to HP paper.
For example, most HP printers, including yours will like HP Advanced Photo Paper in Glossy
This means "top quality" papers of a brand other than HP will usually work in your printer.
