HP Photosmart 7760

Have printer. Have Inkjet colour paper (A4). This is fine for 'normal' printing. What about photos though? Hubby says no manual came with printer (not sure I believe that - he may have mislaid it!). We assume that a special photo paper (smaller than A4) is placed in a smaller section that is just above where the A4 paper goes, and under a lift up flap ... is that correct? Can I buy that photo paper in most outlets? If I get that paper and place it in the compartment that I've found, and press print (when I've loaded my digital photos on, and chosen one to print) how will the printer know that it should print on the smaller photo paper rather than on the A4 paper? I'm not a bit technical - you may have noticed! Help!

You can download the manual .

From an Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000ACOW0/103-2681531-4029431?v=glance&n=172282 (user review):

One word of advice (and it tells you this in the manual): When you place the paper in the 4x6 tray, make sure the side you're printing on is down and the perforated edge is toward you. I made the mistake of putting the paper in backward and had a couple prints come out with a white stripe on the end where the perforated edge should have been.

And yes, you can buy photo paper in practically any computer store (Dixons/Currys/PC World, etc.) — or even the likes of Tesco/Lidl/Aldi, on occasion...

Thank you Doc.
