There is something going wrong if you get the yellow light.

Are you using 4x6 photo paper?

Try loading only one sheet and see what hapeens. Then, when you load multiple sheets be sure they aren't stuck together.

I print 4x6 canon paper and never have a problem.

Yellow light never comes on when printing 4x6 from rear tray.

Yellow light does flash when printing 13x19 from manual feed tray; this is normal and all I need to do is press button or hit return on computer.

I never timed 4x6 printing, but it doesn't take long.

one more question... do you have to select with feeder you want? i am using the one with sliders slightly behind the ink. not the one that stands up in the back. is this the best one for 4x6, 5x7?

Unless the paper package says to use Manual Feed I use the Rear Tray. Confusing terminology by Canon since the Rear Tray is in front of the Manual Feed and there is no front tray.
