Why don't you go to the Hewlett Packard website and download the Full User Manual for the printer. It's all there if you bother to read it properly.
Because:
1) I *had* done my homework before, and found:
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c01469973.pdf
2) those documents only say "Up to 4800 x 1200-optimised dpi colour when printing from a computer on select HP photo papers and 1200-input dpi."
3) what Lynn actually said twice in this thread before your remark is:
"The quality of the print with hp photo paper is excellent. It will not however feed any other brand of photo paper"
which is quite another issue, as I had already made clear. What the docs do say is that HP **only guarantees** that resolution with a certain paper, not that the hardware itself will just **refuse** to work with other paper at that quality.
4) Had I not asked, you would have missed an opportunity to show that you didn't bother to read the thread carefully.

Do you want help or do you want to get stroppy?
Read the bloody thing!
I have an HP and I can print photos on any sort of paper - although I haven't tried toilet paper.
HP will always promote their own paper but it doesn't mean you cannot use other brands.

The PDF M. Fioretti referenced is the same one you referenced. So, he has read it, and does not find anything in there that says the printer will not function at all with any other brand of paper.
So at this point it's kind of dumb to just say "read the manual" and point at the same manual he already claimed to read.
If you believe this document supports the claim that the printer will only work with HP paper, I would like to see a pointer to exactly what part(s), because I have looked over the document and I see no such statement or implication.
If you believe this document does not support that claim, then I would like to know what was the point of your last post, since you seemed to be objecting to what M. Fioretti said, yet saying only the same thing yourself.
I guess that I will just have to go back to school and relearn the English language, and brush up on my Logical Analysis. To quote Mauro: QUOTE Lynn, thanks for the prompt answer, however my question was slightly different. What you say above is clear, but what I'm really looking for is some official source (press release, online HP manual, something like that) that explicitly says that this:
It will not however feed any other brand of photo paper.
is a "feature" of that printer. UNQUOTE Let's go over this again. "...but what I'm really looking for is some *official source* (press release, online *HP manual*, something like that) that explicitly says...." Now, how can one find an "official source....like..HP Manual" which will state anything else than what the official Manual now states?! Where will you ever find an "official" manual which will contradict what an "official" manual states?
From the manual:
"The HP Deskjet F2200 All-in-One series is a versatile device that enables easy-to-use copying, scanning, and printing. Copy The HP All-in-One allows you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white copies on a variety of paper types. You can enlarge or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the copy quality, and make high-quality copies of photos." "On a variety of paper types". Are we OK on this so far, folks? And also: "NOTE: The HP All-in-One cannot automatically detect the paper type. For best results, set the paper type to transparency film in the software before printing onto transparency film." Ah, "the HP...cannot *automatically* detect all the paper type". So what does one have to do to make it accept other types? No gold stars for coming up with the answer, but "RTFM" comes to mind. Ah, and here is another gem: "In the Print Quality drop-down list, select the appropriate quality setting for your project. NOTE: To view the maximum dpi that the product will print, click Resolution. In the Paper Type drop-down list, select the type of paper that you have loaded." The other thing in all this, of course, is that HP has not only a Support department but also a forum where users ask questions and have them answered - just like openSUSE. Got a problem which you think is an HP product related, go ask there. PAX. BC -- "Christians have only one spouse.
