Printing On Photo Paper

I am unable to print photographs on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Pro, which I purchased a couple of weeks ago.  The message I keep on getting is "HP recommends ColorLok for best printing results.  Is there a setting I need to use to print on photo paper?

Color-Lok is just HP's special photo paper. It's recommended for best photo printing but is not mandatory. You can print on any photo paper you may have.
