Found one solution for this that said to disable ipv6 settings in the network (I had to do this through the hp website configuration page) then restore printer to default.

This didn’t work for me but has for some.

I then went into online settings again and changed the default copy settings paper size to A4 (this is in the settings tab). My iPad and phone then started printing in full size rather than miniature.

Same problem printing from Safari to my Canon Pixma MG6250, i.e. small image, plus attempting to print from the rear tray, not the front cassette (the rear tray is normally used for photo qulity prints, not text or web pages).

I have checked the printer network settings and they are set for ipv4, so this is not causing the problem. Also the Canon printer software version is up to date.

There is workaround by creating a PDF file and then printing from this, but why should we have to do this?


Does anyone from Apple read these pages and if so, why hasn't this annoying issue been fixed before now?

Disappointed!
