PIXMA G7020 - suddenly tries to print from rear tray instead of cassette

[Lizky]

I have a Canon G7020 inkjet printer that I have used for a year or so.  Yesterday, when I tried to print a document from my PC, it suddenly started pulling paper from the rear tray rather than the cassette.  I have always had the printing preferences set to "automatically select."  I have regular 8.5x11 paper in the cassette, which is where it usually draws paper when I print.  I have envelopes in the rear tray, and when I print an envelope, it automatically prints from that tray.  I have no idea why it has suddenly stopped printing from the cassette.  I have gone into the Printing Preferences in the app on my computer and chosen "cassette" but it still won't print from the cassette.  I have updated the printer drivers on my computer, and updated the firmware on the printer.  I don't know what else to do.  This is incredibly frustrating.  Can someone help?

Thanks for your suggestion.  The printer seems to have healed itself.  I had if off for a few days.  I even unplugged it.  When I turned it back on, it printed from the correct place - the cassette.  So strange.
