Canon Pixma iP7250 and MG5350,
My MG5350 would only feed from the cassette even when rear feed was selected. The suggestion on the Canon forum was to go to the printer preference pane and set rear tray to default. I did that, and now I can print from the rear tray but when I select cassette in the printer dialogue box, it still prints from the rear tray. This seems to be a problem only with word processors - I use Word For Mac, Pages and Scrivener. When printing from a web page or from Preview, there is no problem.

I'm running Mac OSX Sierra on my machine and Catalina on my wife's computer and both are networked wirelessly to the MG 5350.

It's not the end of the world, as I can easily reset the default to suit what I want but I wonder if there is a solution. I use the rear tray for printing on card and photo paper as it passes more easily through the machine.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
