Why cant I print a photo larger than a 4x6?

marbear1993 — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:54:58 GMT

I am using the Canon Pixma MG2520. I am trying to print photos on 8.5x11' photo paper. My computer keeps saying that the paper size is incorrect and that I need to change the paper size to 4x6 and when I do my photos are coming out 4x6 size. I do not want my photos that small but thats all its allowing me to print. How do I fix this?

Sorry I forgot to mention I was trying to print from Paint and Microsoft Picture Manager.

Hi Raevynn,

When printing on photo paper, the only supported print sizes when printing from the PIXMA MG2520 are 4" x 6" and 5" x 7".

LOL Accept as the solution? OMG I can't stop laughing.You've just bloody re-iterated the question/problem, not given any kind of solution!!

I too would like to know why I can not select photo paper in other sizes than 4x6. I have at least 3 other sizes to choose from in photo papers. Pixma TS3120.

If I can't print anything but novelty sized photos I'm returning it to the store...
