I have an HP Photosmart 8450 installed on fedora 12. It prints beautifully when 
it comes to colour pages on plain paper format A4. However, when printing photos 
it fails. I simply cannot force it to print 4 by 6 inch borderless photos. The 
printer test page comes out in the correct size but the printer does not accept 
that the photo tray is activated and when I activate the A4 plain paper tray the 
4 by 6 inch test page comes out on A4 paper.

I have set the following options:

Media Size: Photo Borderless 4x6 in
Media source: Photo tray
Output Mode: Color
Media Type: Photo Paper
Print Quality: High-Resolution Photo
Installed Inks: Photo + Color

The driver is: hpcups 3.8.9

Does anyone know what is wrong?
