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:

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.

It turns out to be the driver. HPLIP does indeed only recognise HP photo paper. The CUPS driver I just installed instead of the HP driver works fine on any type of paper, photo or not with 11.3. But I must say that the Yast printer installation dialogue is very difficult to understand. But for 60 Euros the HP2200 produces superb quality. A4 prints on any photo paper.
