Is the upper tray too flimsy when extended to operate with 11 x 17 paper? Looked at this printer in a store, and this looked like a weakness?

It's been fine for us, we just don't leave it stocked full of 11x17 all the time. We change it back right away! We've printed some large music scores.

The printer is not very ruggied. Would not use it for heavy stock on a routine basis.

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

I don't have that problem, however, pulling the tray out to fill it is very difficult. I am afraid it will break and it does not hold too much paper.

I'm not sure about the paper , but I know the printer itself can take paper 11 inches wide. So if the 11 in ur paper measurement is width then it will work.

Sorry E.B., but you are wrong. This printer does support 11 X 14. I keep legal paper in the 2nd cassette. It is a little chore, but it does work. You have to specify in the print menu, both the paper size and the source. Then you have to press buttons on the printer itself to finish the print. Like I said, a bit of a chore, but it does work.

One of two things, either not enough paper or too much paper. The only other issue that I can see would be that the paper tray is not extended all the way. Another possibility is that the printer is set up for photo paper when it should be set up for standard size letter paper. Hope that helps

I have used 110 weight paper and the printer jams on and off...especially when printing large quantities.

I don't believe so. I use the 2nd tray to print 8.5 x 11 and reserve the top tray for envelopes and that works just fine. I love my 2nd tray!

I've only ever printed 8.5x11. The paper tray appears to be adjustable so it may be able to print on smaller sheets of paper or envelopes, but I'm not sure.

Yes it will. I print my invoices out of the top tray 8.5 x 11 and in the bottom tray I keep 11 x 17 to print out plans and I switch back and forth with no problems. once you are at your print screen you just select print properties, select your paper size and the printer knows which tray to pull from.

Yes, the tray extends out to accept legal size sheets. The manual feed may accept them, but I would not use it for that because if it is crooked by just a little bit, the longer page will exaggerate the skewed print.See: http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6500/spec-enus.htmlMedia Handling section says up to 8.5" x 14"

I have not tried to print a full 8.5 X 11 photo. I have only printed out 4X6 so far. Tray 2 is definitely only for picture paper. Tray 1 is the 8.5 X 11 tray. You may want to try placing the picture paper in tray 1 and see if that will work? The biggest tray2 will go is 5X7. Sorry I could not be of more or any help with this question/answer.

Yes, this printer will handle 11" x 17" pages. There is also a duplexing option.

Looking at the manual for your printer (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00911764.pdf), I didn't notice any reference to the printer accepting additional trays. To be sure, I'd suggest you chat with HP tech support online.

Yes, the top tray can hold the 8 1/2 x 11 and the bottom tray expands out to hold the 11 x 17, great printer, also you can buy compatible ink on amazon that works great and saves money

I have not tried it on actual photo paper, but it does a good-enough job on regular 11 x 17 paper.In our use case, more-importantly it is able to print without any borders even on that large paper size; in other words if so selected in preferences, it will leave no unprinted area on the edges of the page, even if it is 11 x 17.Furthermore, this model (with the two trays) allows for both automatic feed (through bottom tray) and manual feed (through bad slot) of 11 x 17 paper.And lastly, it feeds regular letter and A4 papers with the wide-edge, which seems to make the printing at least seems faster, since it ends up printing with broader strokes.
