No, Peter, the paper I gave a link for is specifically for HP color
lasers. That's why it's called "HP Color Laser Glossy Photo and
Imaging Paper."

Whoa! Photo paper is for inkjets. I'm surprised your laser printer
didn't do unpleasant things with the coating.

Hence the problem. LaserJet's are not designed to use any photo paper!
Plain paper varieties only. Photo papers are for inkjet or photo
printers only. In fact, I would think that photpapers could cause
significant damage to the fuser in this printer.

There should be one. I can't see HP selling a printer without a
photo paper setting. *Maybe* you should check the HP website to
see if there's an upgraded driver for that printer.

Without knowing the slightest thing about how you printed the image,
what printer you have, what brand of paper you tried, or even the OS and
software you use, only a mind reader can advise you.
