When i try to AirPrint, the only option i get is 4 x 6 and there seems to be no way to change it. Is there a setting that I am not seeing? (using iMac w/ Yosemite.)The printer is a Canon MG7520.

i had many problems setting this printer (Canon MX7520) with my Mac so i don't want to reset the settings since I got most of them to work now. However, now it seems that whenever i try to AirPrint a document, it wants to print to 4x6 (photo) paper and not the regular paper. I have tried everything i can think of, but nothing seems to work. if you have any suggestions, i would be very grateful.

iPad Air, iOS 8.3

If you are using an iMac you are not using AirPrint. You should have printer settings within the application you are printing from that would let you change the settings UNLESS your Canon printer driver restricts photos to that size.

So is your question about when you print from your iOS device or iMac. Your original question says iMac with Yosemite.

There is not way to change that using AirPrint on an iOS device.

ok...I'm only talking about printing from an iOs device. The first time I set up the printer, all the documents printed to regular paper (tray #2) and photos would print to the 4 x 6 tray (tray #1.) However, there were other problems with the printer so I reset everything. Now when I 'AirPrint', it prints all documents to the 4 x 6 tray (tray #1). Something has been changed, but I'm not sure how nor how to fix it.

Reset your printer, iOS devices AND your router and try again.
