My hp c3180 suddenly will not auto recognise photo quality paper. I've tried all types. It attempts the recognition but flashes the paper out warning light. Normal paper works fine.

It rejects HP glossy and Kodak glossy photo paper. I just tried it with Epson photo paper and ironically it works fine.
As far as I know there is a LED (usually with blue light) and a small optical scanning unit in the print head carrier which is used to autodetect the paper type. Perhaps it is smudged so that the autodetection results are wrong?
Kind Regards Johannes Meixner --
To add to what Johannes suggests, it's very possible the texture of the paper is just different enough the "dirty" LED will pass the Epson paper and not the others. Are all the papers glossy or is the Epson paper different? Have you tried contacting HP support about the problem? bye, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
