I made some prints on my printer and paper is stuck on the photo.
How should I attempt to remove it?
I have tried a hair dryer and its not helping.

If you mean you were printing more than one and the ones on top stuck to the ones on bottom, I would not expect to be able to get them apart without pulling ink with it. Best bet is to reprint, one at a time - it takes a while for the print to dry. It probably says how long it takes on the package, or in the manual for the printer.

If that is not what you meant, what is?

I allowed the photo to dry and then placed regular paper on top to separate the photos and carry them in a folder on a trip to give away.
So theres paper stuck to the photo. I was hoping someone has ran into problems like this and could share what would help remove the paper.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I am on vacation and my Grandma wants photos of her great grandkids. :)

If you get nothing back but silence on a solution to this problem, it is probably not apathy but the diffuculty of the problem, those inks are designed to grip paper. I know it's no solution, but next time you might use waxed paper or velum as a seperator, at least untill the prints are a few days old and the ink had a chance to dry.

As a last resort you could try getting some moisture into the paper and see if that loosens them up. Leave them outside, but protected from sun, on a humid day or a rainy day and see if that helps. Or maybe wave them gently over a pan of simmering water.
