Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

I'm really unhappy with this printer which uses an incredible amount of ink. I would not use it for anything other than a large paperweight. Haven't tried printing 13x9 -- good luck with that. The Epson and Canon inkjets I've purchased for my workplace have proved to be excellent value compared to this.

No Unfortunately. I now have a new HP paperweight and am going to go Epson for my large formats.

Consumer Reports from May/June 2009 says it prints a 4x6 color print at 1 page per minute

I don't know about those specific sizes. We also had some odd sized envelopes. We had to find paper which was "close" and then adjust the margins. It was fiddly but it worked (while the printer was still working that is).

Yes, you can print anything smaller than 13x19 which is pretty big. You have to buy the paper in the size you want it and on your computer change the size settings. This printer, prints very beautiful prints.

Hi Monica, It is a 12x12 scrapbook album so you can place as many or as few pics that you want per page. Hope that helps. Gail

I did research on lexmark.com-only three of their printers show compatible with 105xl, pinnacle 805,901,902your question says 150xl-picture shows 105XL-if you ordered the 105XL, is probably not compatible

You choose 4x6 from your printer setup menu, then slide the printer guides to fit the 4x6 paper. just like printing pictures that are 4x6. I have a little Canon MG5220, it has one feed slot from the rear top of the printer and all I have to do is through the software choose 4x6 size and then slide the paper guides to fit what I am sending through. I also have a print preview option with my printer software that allows me to see what I am printing and how it fits the size I've selected. A nice feature.

Prints 4x6 only and I found that you have to use name brand of photo paper as well. I tried a cheaper off brand photo paper and that would not work, dimensions slightly different. No complaints with printing, it does a great job.

I use my MFCJ6910DW to print photos all of the time. The paper holder sizes down to 4" x 6"

I am able to print beautiful 13 x 19 prints with this printer. I only use Epson paper and inks. They frame well and are archival. I love this printer except for smaller sized paper which does not feed reliably. I thinbk you should be satisfied with the quality of the work it produces.

I have printed out a few pictures and the results are good. I did however adjust the color etc with Photoshop before printing. I also used photo quality 4x6 paper.

Yeah this will do the trick! Each page is a full page, there aren't separate photo pockets/sections within each page. I would call it a scrapbook rather than a photo album. I actually used it for the purpose you are looking to use it for :)

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

Not on the one I have, only print the photos in various sizes. It's a great printer.

Im sorry but the product for which you are posing a question is not shown or titled in this Amazon request for answers. Can not answer until Amazon or you name the product. If your question is about the Canon Selphy printer - 4x6 is approximately original post card size. No cutting is required.
