How to print photos on photo paper?

How do I print my photos from my computer onto glossy photo paper?

  • I'm using my aunts printer to print out some photos, but it's not working. I've even changed the settings of the printer from plain paper to photo. I don't know what I am doing wrong. There's a space on top that the photo paper is supposed to go into, but it won't print out from there. Instead, it uses the plain paper. Am I supposed to put the glossy photo paper into the same space as the plain paper? What am I doing wrong?

    EDIT: Try the XP one again, I fixed the error, sorry Without knowing what printer you are using, I will just guess Start For XP Settings Printers and faxes Right click the printer icon, and select printer preferences Paper/Quality tab Scroll down to size is and select Photo Scroll down further to type is... Here is where you can scroll to the gloss paper you use. Place the photo paper to the far right, with the shiny side down. Have printer on Windows 7 Start HP Solution center Click settings Click printer settings Click printer shortcuts tab In left window, click photo printing either borderless or with with borders Click ok Add photo paper all the way to the right, with glossy side down

As I understand, the printer your aunt owns has many paper feeders? That means there are several places for you to choose as the paper source. On my printer for example, it has 2 paper feeds. There's a button on the printer that allows you to switch the Feed source. Check if your printer has such button.

"Am I supposed to put the glossy photo paper into the same space as the plain paper?" Yes, and place the glossy side face down. You might have to "fan" the paper a little bit so they don't stick together.
