Is the problem that the printer hardware gives an error/doesnt print if your try and change the paper type on the software settings before you print? or that the software gives a printing error if you try and change the paper type on the software settings? If that's the case, try printing with your other brand photo paper but selecting the HP photo paper type.
The reason this seems strange is that there is nothing to differentiate HP photo paper from other photo paper. If it physically fits in the tray (and is flexible like paper, and has approximately the right surface), I cannot see any way that a printer can detect its brand. If HP had invented a way to brand their paper invisibly I'm sure more people would know about this ...

They do, or so it would seem....photo paper anyway. Look at the back of HP photo paper and notice the bar code. I don't know of any printer that reads it, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening and I/we don't know it.
