How do I print a photo on 8.5 x 11 photo paper on an HP7520e Photosmart printer?

I know how to print photos using the photo tray, but the photo tray only prints two sizes of photo paper smaller that 8.5x11. How can I bypass the photo tray and print a photo on 8.5 x 11" photo paper from the normal paper tray. How do I force the printer to bypass the photo tray and print a photo using the normal paper tray with PHOTO paper in it. I purchased this printer because the outside of the box showed a photo being printed from the normal paper tray and I assumed that I could.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @tron49

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the printing issue. 

 

According to the User Manual, photo tray does not support printing 8.5 x 11 inch (216 x 279 mm) Photo paper. Refer to page# 63 from here

 

 

Load the 8.5 x 11 inch (216 x 279 mm) Photo paper into the normal tray. You may refer to this document for steps. 

 

Select the size as paper size and source as main tray from the print settings. You may refer to the print settings from here

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
