To cut short a long story, I am trying to print photos and I keep having the same issues..
For one, it either doesn't detect the paper (getting a "paper ran out" error) or it keeps saying it's jammed. When it does seem to print something, the paper comes out with nothing on it, like WTF?
From what I can tell, there's nothing wrong with the rollers, as it seems to print normally otherwise. I've tried resetting the printer, as that seems to have fixed it the last I had some issues printing documents but that didn't work. I tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in but, again, that took me nowhere. Though I am having a harder go at printing from paint.NET, Image Garden, and Windows Photos, I don't think it's a software issue.
I don't think there's an issue with the paper I'm using, which is the semi-gloss paper, as I've printed photos with that before. However, it does seem to be more apt to print when I'm using the non-photo paper.
On a note, while I'm here, how do I print from the top part of the printer or is that really for copies and faxes?
If you've had this conundrum, how did you fix it?
