I am needing to print on Transparency Film.  My paper type selection does not give me that choice.  Can I still print it using another type of paper selection?

First, you need to have special transparencies for inkjet printers, you can use any kind of transparencies on HP inkjets.

Set your printer to print on a plain paper and the print should be fine if not setting to photo paper will increase ink amount if you are not satisfied with the plain paper print output.

Yes, I do have the special transparency film for Inkjet.  So you are saying you think the regular paper setting will do the trick? If not try it on photo paper?  Thanks!!

Plain paper settings should print just fine if you need more ink on transparencies then try photo paper settings.
