Can Canon glossy (semi-gloss) paper go bad?

I can print a picture on 4x6 photo paper and 8x10 photo paper I have, but the 5x7 paper doesn't print.  Shows either up blank, or partial picture.  Settings are right (5x7 borderless, gloss photo paper).  Can printer paper go bad?  There is no expiration date on the package.

I’ve never seen that. To test the paper try cutting a 5x7 paper to 4x6 size and printing on it. 

What printer is it? Is 5x7 a standard size for that printer or a custom size?

It’s a HP 9015.  It is normally set at 8.5x11, so I set it to 5x7.  The first one came out fine.  After that I tried 16 of them and they either didn’t print at all, or partial picture.  Then I did a 4x6 and no issues.  Then I tried a 5x7 size photo, but on a 8.5x11 photo paper and no problem with that also.  Very odd.  I assumed the 5x7 paper went bad somehow?

If you cut a piece of 5x7 down to 4x6 you can test it.
