My HP7134 won't feed 7x5 photo paper, I've tried cleaning etc., other papers work fine.

[Murdy13]

My HP7134  printer won't load 7x5 photo paper, although A4 and 6x4 work fine. I've tried the usual suggestions, cleaning etc.

The display tells me to load paper, which of course I've already done.

@Murdy13 

"Won't feed" and "won't load" are different though there are some overlapping considerations.

Add the following to your checkpoints...

==============================================================================

(Re)check your paper to make sure it meets paper size / weight supported by the printer.

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

Alert the printer to the paper loaded in the tray.
