HP ENVY Photo 7134
macOS 10.15 Catalina

I'm trying to print 4x6 photos from my printer (using glossy paper) and it won't let me. It will sometimes do it on the matte side. Otherwise it defaults to 5x7 and keeps requesting I put that size photo paper in. I'm printing from a MacBook with an IOS Catalina.  Please help as I'd like to get these printed today if possible.
