Problem with HP 1220c printer?

Does anyone know why an HP 1220c printer will not pull in photographic paper ? It has no trouble taking standard white copy paper, but it will not take any glossy or matte finish photo paper. It starts to feed in, but stops short of the print head. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.Problem with HP 1220c printer?
Are you using HP photo paper? What size paper? Have you tried the straight thru paper path? It could be the photo paper is too heavy for the wheels to pick up and pull through the paper path. Be careful with heavy papers, it can mess-up the paper pick-up mechanism in the printer. Try HP photo paper and see if the printer has the same problem. Make sure you don't mix the photo paper in with regular paper as it throws off the pick-up path of the paper and makes it difficult for the heavier paper to get pushed all the way through the printer.
