HP Envy 6234 won't print on 6x4 paper

[Sarah7610]

HP Envy All-in-One printer will not print 6x4 photos, the paper either gets stuck or the message says paper not loaded correctly. This is so annoying as my last HP printer had the same problem. Everything else prints fine but the reason I bought this printer was to be able to print 6x4 photos. 

I am a keen photographer and I want to stick with HP printers for the ink replacement scheme but I am now considering another make if the whole 6x4 issue is resolved.

Have you installed the HP Full-featured driver on the PC?

Hi and thanks for your reply. I have done everything you recommended and although my problem isn't resolved it has improved.

I have managed to print a few 6x4 photos but it has taken some time and a lot of swearing. After printing one picture the printer won't print another and says there is no paper. I pull out the paper tray, push the paper back in and put the tray back in. After this it will print another photo after a lot of mechanical noises. However, it also damages the photo paper and black ink marks have appeared on some of my photos.

I hope this can be fixed and thanks for your time,

Sarah

Hi @Sarah7610

Please try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

Also, try cleaning the paper feed rollers. Refer to step#3 from this document.
