"Scaling: Choose from Fill Page or Fit to Page options" -- this is the problem I have MOST of the time when printing using my phone. I want there to be NO scaling -- even if items close to the edge are cropped off by the printer. This is essential and I can't believe it isn't an option. Please forward to someone who can help with this!

If you want an example of why I need this: some of my customers are board game designers who send me game card demos in 9-up layouts. I need to print them to scale and duplex, then cut them to the final size. If you scale the art FOR me, the cards will NOT line up when I am printing them for demos. Then will also be an incorrect, non-standard size. NO SCALING, please! Thank you! 🙂

I keep getting an error message when trying to print photos telling me to load paper. There is no issue with printing documents but I have only managed to print around 10 photos over the past week. It never prints one after the other. I always have to open the paper tray and check for blockages, even though there is photo paper and no blockages, full cartridges, printer online and alignment done it STILL won't print! It is extremely frustrating.
