Which way do you load the photos (vertical or horizontal?) and where do you load them to? Thanks.

Slightly the same thing; It starts slipping as it goes through and then gets stuck inside! I'm using Canon Photo paper Pro - happens with glossy or matte.

No, I have had this printer a few months and no problems. Printed around 100 4x6's so far.

You will get a lot fewer prints if there is a long interval between prints. I print a 4x6 swatch every weekend to keep the head from drying, plus have printed a few 13x19 and maybe 25 4x6, and at 25 weeks I got my first "low ink warning"; so that's about 100 4x6 prints, with probably another 25 to go before I have to replace one of the inks. By contrast, printing a dozen 4x6 photos on the same day does not even move the ink supply indicator, so I'd believe 200-400 numbers others reported with frequent printing. In other words, just turning it on uses a little ink every time.

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

Agree with Wordsmith, your printer must be able to print "full-bleed" - most can't. Check with your printer mfr; also, Avery.com may have a suggestion. I just made a decorative frame/border around my photos and left 1/4" of white card as a mat.

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

Is it normal for this printer to be noisy when printing because of the auto double sided printing? When I lift the cartridge access door, I can hear that the squeaks are coming from the pinch rollers and paper roller.

I just purchased this printer from Staples and am going to return it because I can not for the life of me get it to print on cardstock. I have been reading up on it and aparrently this is a known problem a lot of people have been complaining about since the printer came out. I have had no problems printing on various label paper, inkjet transparencies, resume paper, but it will not print on my 67# cardstock

Its late to reply, but line are usually a head-alignment issue. I don't know about this printer though.After 5 years of buying "photo" printers and being frustrated with them, I just take my photos to costco or print them online and have them mailed to me. No printers work without a huge fuss, and my experience with sunlight shows that within 6 months of any light exposure they turn yellow and curl. Maybe its improved in the last year, but I doubt it.

The only time the printer jammed was when I tried to print on INKJET photo paper, not LASER photo paper! Trust me, lesson learned!

Just unpacking mine, believe that one black cartridge is for photo only, i.e. the small one that matches the color ones. Large one lower quality for general text use.Try double checking one of the computer mags on this....LPS my concern is that directions say standard computer paper only in front tray, back tray for quality photo paper. And that 4 x 6 is only photo size that works?????Any input appreciated, I M on hold now, its only unpacked....

Franklin, I bought this printer a year ago and my problem is annoying paper jams, over and over and over..... which means I have to remove the back and extricate the paper. As far as your print head is concerned, I experienced that once. I turned off the power, unplugged the printer, removed both cartridges and waited about 20 minutes before powering it up again. The printer seemed to recognize that it was missing the cartridges and immediately rebooted to receive them. In the final analysis, I have regretted this purchase.... good luck. BILL

I've had this printer for maybe a year, and I've only had two or three jams, usually if I've been printing a lot of graphics-heavy stuff without giving the machine a rest. It overheats and the paper seems to stick. I find if I let it cool down and pull out the offending paper wreckage, I can continue without incident. I realize this may not be really helpful to you but it's what my experience has been. I find it interesting how many totally divergent experiences people have had with this machine.

There is an adjustment lever on the printer to move the printhead closer/farther from paper. We print 4 part paper on ours.

Wendy, unfortunately the camera only has 16X9 and 4X3 aspect ratio's. A little shot composition (planning) ahead of time will negate that problem, but I realize that point and shoots like this camera aren't usually used that way. I have printed several 4X6's and been very happy with the results - even though it took a little extra effort.

Sounds like you need to have a technician check it out. I have had this printer for a little over 2 years of daily office use and have never had a problem with jams unless I try to stuff too much paper in the bottom tray.

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

My dear fellow user. Indeed I use my cartridges for variety of functions more so greeting cards, 4x6 and 8x10 prints when I go on a picture taking escapade etc. Because of foregoing I cannot say with any degree of specificity the number of 4x6 prints it would yield. Sorry I could not be more precise. Enjoy the "fun" as I do; best wishes.
