Photo Enlargement

[scorpio012]

Hello Everyone, I need help with my home printer a Pixma MG56722 that I've had for a few years now,. My question is, is there a way that I can enlarge a picture taken, by a camera, that measures three and a half inches by three and a half inches using my printer? I've never tried doing this before and I'm wondering if it's even possible to do? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi, Scorpio012.

Are you printing directly from the camera using the Wireless Pictbridge function, or from an image uploaded to your computer?

Image options from a Pictbridge-compatible camera are limited. If advanced image editing and layout are required, I recommend uploading the image to a computer, adjusting the settings accordingly, and then printing to the printer.

Hi again, scorpio012

If enlarging an image on the computer to a larger paper size without editing, ensure the paper size set when printing matches the paper size to which you are printing.  The location of this setting will vary between operating systems and, at times, between programs or apps.

Print settings in Windows:

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to answer my question and for the help you've provided. Unfortunately, shortly after posting my question my printer has stopped working and I've gone back onto the Canon forum looking for help to get it printing again. I'll let you know when I do.
