Photo Printing - Paper does not always pick up

[Bumblebasher]

Ever since I have had this printer I have had trouble printing out photos from the photo tray. I am using HP 6x4" photopaper but have to reload it several times before it eventually works.

The tray is slightly bigger than the paper  and sits in a sort of sliding tray. How can I assure that the paper feeds in everytime I go to print a photo?
