What program are you printing from? I have heard of some cases in Windows 7 where the program ignores the print settings and uses the default print settings. Try the following: before opening the printing program go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the B210, Printing Preferences and select the appropriate photo printing settings, Apply, OK. Now open the printing program and print a photo.

Another possible workaround....

I had the same problem and found a way to print on the photo paper. When I first hooked up the printer, I didn't pay attention to the arrows on the back of the photo paper, thinking it didn't matter as long as the glossy side was down. So the printer obviously did not detect the photo paper was there.

I have vista, so I went to Start>>Settings>>Printers, then right clicked on the printer, selecting Properties. From there, I clicked the "Device Settings" tab. I noticed here that it said Photo Tray: Not Available. So I clicked on "not available" and a drop down menu appeared. From that drop down menu, I selected the 4X6 photo paper (with tab, since it said on the photo paper box). I then clicked Apply then OK.

After removing the 8X11 sheets in case it did not work, I opened the image with Windows photo gallery and printed from there (again, selecting the size and paper type). Ta Da! it worked.

Supposedly, the printer detects photo paper automatically with those arrows and lines on the back. if you did what I did and not load it right, the printer will ignore that and never check for it again...just a guess [shrugs]

Well, this is one solution for now. Hope it works.

I hope this is helpful to you!
