Printing Pictures in Vista

I am trying to print pictures with Vista. I am going in to the picture,
right clicking on the picture and choosing the option to print. When it
brings up the picture, I go to select the paper type to something other than
'plain paper'. Whenever I select anything else, it defaults back to Plain
paper. I have tried adjusting settings on my printer driver. Other programs
allow me to make this change. Does anybody know why the paper type defaults
back to plain paper in this application?

What make and model printer are you using?

Hi Cari. I have an Epson Stylus R1800.

Hmmm, that's interesting because I believe the R1800 is supposed to have a
special unit which automatically detects which type of paper is in the
printer. Do you have the latest drivers from Epson?
