@jmhauf, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If your HP ENVY 5660 printer keeps displaying a "Photo Tray Problem" error even though the photo tray is not blocked, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Reseat the Photo Tray
Place the Printer on a Flat Surface: Ensure your printer is on a stable surface to avoid any tilt that might affect tray alignment.
Push in the Output Tray Extender: If extended, gently push it back in.
Pull Out the Input Tray: Reach under your printer's input tray handle and slide the tray out, but do not remove it fully.
Remove the Output Tray: Carefully remove it to access the photo tray.
Ensure the Photo Tray is Correctly Seated: Verify that the photo tray guide tabs (grey) slide beneath the main tray guides (black) on both sides.
Adjust if Necessary: If the guides are not aligned, gently reposition the photo tray to align the tab gaps, then press the tabs back into position carefully.
Reinstall the Output Tray: Align the edges of the output tray with the input tray and place it back.
