The optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery low-power warning appears. I plug
the optional HP Photosmart Automobile DC Adapter into the printer, but the
printer does not recognize the new power source.

Turn the printer off before you plug the adapter into the printer.

Plug the adapter into the printer.

Turn the printer on.

The printer makes noises when I turn it on, or starts making noises on its own
after it has been sitting unused for a while.
The printer may make noises after long periods of inactivity (approximately 2 weeks),
or when its power supply has been interrupted and then restored. This is normal
operation—the printer is performing an automatic maintenance procedure to ensure
that it produces the best quality output.

Paper does not feed into the printer correctly.

Make sure that the paper-width guide fits close to the edge of the paper without
bending the paper.

There may be too much paper loaded in the In tray. Remove some paper and try
printing again.

If sheets of photo paper stick together, try loading one sheet at a time.

If you are using the printer in an extremely high or low humidity environment,
insert the paper as far as it will go into the In tray, and load one sheet of photo
paper at a time.

If you are using photo paper that is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and
gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the
problem persists, use paper that is not curled. For information about proper
storage and handling of photo paper, see

Maintaining the quality of photo paper

.

The paper may be too thin or too thick. Try using HP-designed photo paper. For
more information, see
