Photo printing

Options
Totally new to this but having a go with the HP7100 printer. When I print to plain paper the result is good. Insert photo paper and I loose a lot of detail. Is there something I should do to let the printer know what paper I am using?

    Tell Windows you're printing on Photo paper when you go to print and whack the quality up.  Printing on plain paper is a different kettle of fish to printing on photo paper.

    In the manual (I assume you received one with the printer - if not download one) and go to page 28, Chapter 3, Print and see "To print from a computer" 4.  It advises adjusting paper type and quality.
