Printer does not take photo paper from the tray, and gives "out of paper" issue every time.
** for normal printing papers it is working fine

Some of the usual causes of this issue:
- Printer is dirty
- Paper type is not supported - for example, the paper might be heavier than the printer supports or quality of the paper is not adequate
- Settings are incomplete and / or incorrect for the current job
- Printer is not aware of the paper size / type loaded in the tray - Tray and Paper Management
- The paper size is not supported in the Photo Tray (and should instead be loaded in the main tray)
- Printer Firmware is outdated
- Printer is "stuck" and would benefit from being Reset / Restarted
- Full Driver Printer software needs to be uninstalled / reinstalled
After any hardware / reset / Jam issues have been addressed,
Next, check for job setup (Printing Preferences) and software reload.
