Photo paper not feeding

[Avinay1995]

When I attempt to print a photo on my hp smart tank 530 dual brand wifi colour printer , on Windows 7 operating system, the photo paper tray feeds like it will take the paper but does not.  Get error message to load paper into tray.  Sometimes it partially feeds it and then the photo paper just drops into the inside without feeding through.  Not really a jam, but not working no matter what fix I try. Help??
