I am unable to print a 4x6 photo on my OfficeJet Pro 6978. I have printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paperand cardstock before with no issues. This is the my first attempt at printing a photo of any size. I get no response from the printer and no error messages. I am loading the 4x6 photo paper correctly according to the directions. Any ideas?
