Hello,

I can't seem to get any settings to work to get the MG2920 to print on 8.5 x 11 glossy photo paper. Each time it gives the 4102 error saying the paper size is wrong. I have all settings correct and even the Canon support email and phone rep had no answer for me. If you choose plain paper and print anyway it prints but the quality is low and the ink smears. I assume it's cause it's ment to spray a different amount of ink for glossy vs standard. I'm really hoping someone has faced and found a solution to this issue as my searches online have resulted in many questions but few answers and none that fix anything.

Thanks.

The media type and paper size are not set correctly.

Yes but HOW do we print on GLOSSY LETTER SIZED paper?
I have done it ONCE with my one computer but then that computer broke and I can't make it work with any other device :(
