I finally determined that she just needed a new printer and got her an OfficeJet Pro 8600. Checked the rollers, checked for any loose pieces of paper inside, etc. It wouldn't pull her HP Advanced glossy photo paper either. I had a customer with a problem printer, an older MFP HP 3510 or something like that. Just thought I would share my experience as well. As far as I can see, the issue is behind us. So, let's close this out by thanking one and all for the time and effort spent to help de-bug this. Setting this up the same way results in a failure each and every time except if I 'do the curl'. This is definitely thicker, more 'heavy duty' without question. I went to our food pantry where I volunteer and picked up a stack of 'Royal' brand photo stock 4X6. How long was this batch on the shelf - can't say.

Inspecting both boxes, they 're 99.9% identical except for the original box is a box of 50 plus a series of numbers on the end flap - probably the lot number or run number, I guess. Where did I buy the other original stock? WalMart. I even curled the first few sheets the opposite shape and it still feeds! The new stock also seems to be less 'sticky' - the coating seems to be less tacky. And printed!!! I could not get it to fail. Loaded up the new stock, fanned the stack, set the walls to comfortable level and printed. Nearly imperceptible but there was a subtle difference in 'feel'. The first thing I noticed (and my wife did too) was that the new box stock felt a lot thinner - the sheets were more pliable.

I went to our local computer emporium and purchased another box of Everyday glossy - 100 sheets on my way by. This glossy stock is sort of 'sticky' I'll admit. I have air conditioning running in the house and into the computer room. I have toyed with the tray walls in many and varied configurations, leaving them tight to the stack as well as loose.Īre there sensitivity adjustments possible to make the feed pressure more 'aggressive'? I am using HP's Everyday grade glossy photo paper paper that was purchased about a month ago. That means I have to individually curl each sheet as it makes its way toward the top. But this only works about 20 per cent of the time.

I can get the paper to feed by curllng it up lengthwise so that the angle of attack is less acute. The printer consistently reports that it's out of paper at this point which to me means that the paper hasn't successfully met the sensor at or just past the feed point.

You can also see the top sheet is almost fed in by virtue of the fact that it's sitting just past the top lip of the tray, pulled off the stack and just about ready to get in to the 'guts' of the printer. When you carefully inspect that top sheet, you can actually see the smoothed impression left by the pick up roller. This thing still won't suck in the first sheet. Cleaned the 'pick up' roller in the back as well as all the other smaller tires. Lots and lots of trouble getting the photo paper to get up into the main feed rollers.
