Trying to copy photo's with my printer?

I have been trying to copy old pictures for a scrapbook shower page. It keeps stopping saying it is unplugged, or paper jam. I have the photo paper in ,glossy down about 5 sheets then 15 but it always comes up jamed. Sometimes the paper just rolls through, or 2 will roll through, but then it says empty, and won't copy, I did get to copy 2 pages with no problem, but I need more. I have been pressing for photo paper (not plain) because that is what it is, and pressing color. It is getting annoying. If I can't do this in a reasonable time, where can I go to make lots of photo's, but 1 of each. I know if I go to CVS it will be $6.99, which isn't bad for a special photo but I will be cutting these up and compining like a collage.

Answers:
Photo printing at home is actually more expensive than having your prints done at a photo place regardless of which way you slice it.

A photo can take anywhere from 6-30X the amount of ink as regular printing. Factor in the paper and it is a very expensive process.

When using photo paper, especially on a top loading printer like epson, canon or Lexmark you sometimes need to feed the paper one sheet at a time. This is because the finish is a little sticky, and that coupled with the thicker paper causes more than one sheet to feed at a time.
go to kinkos and ask can u use your own paper, color copies are 1 dollar each in most locations.
first check the owners manual to see if it takes a special kind
of ink&paper to print out copies of pictures,not the ink you use for regular printing.a lot of the all-in-one printers i've seen
say use special in for pix.also when you set up youre all-in-one printer did you use the cd that came with the printer,if
not you may not have all the software needed to do the job.
HAPPY PRINTING.
