ENVY 7855
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

With my previous computer (Canon), when I sent a photo from the phone to the printer, it always printed a 4x6 photo. When I now send a photo to my new ENVY 7588 from my iPhone, the printer defaults to two possibilities: 5x7 Photo (glossy) and German Legal Fanfold (whatever that is) plain paper. How can I get 4x6 glossy? I'm ready to return the printer (even though in other respects I like it very much) because printing 4x6 photos from my iPhone is a very important part of my printing.

From which application are you trying to print?

Update the printer firmware

AirPrint does not have an option to select the type/size of the paper being used as it automatically picks the information from the printer.

Refer to this document to know how to load photo papers in the printer
