Select "Cardstock" in the 'paper type' menu, either through your operating system's 'Print' dialog, or via the printer's front panel (or select it both places, just to be sure).
If the jams continue with your cardstock, there's another cardstock option in each of those menus. It is "Glossy Cardstock". That worked for me.
It will only work if the printer supports feed through from the back. If the paper has to go in the same side of the printer that it comes out it will jam.
If its heavier than 60 to 105 gsm (16 to 28 lb), then your printer can not take that type. HP Specifications Unless there is a manual feed on the back, the paper won't be able to bend well inside of the printer, hence the jam.
no you might have a paper jam somewere and mabe you ink rollers are dry you might have to tell the printer to to a pre test and clean and if there is a paper jam it should be a slot on the back by the roller should be a tap that shows the tollers look for a pice of paper jammed somewere in the roller you migh have to take the paper out to inspct it for a paper jam and if none mabe the print heads are dry and it dosent feed the paper then could be it ok clean the print heads tell the printer to to a roller clean and then after that if no paper jam no were try printing a page take all the paper out and feed it manually and if it prints then some printer want feed if you have filled the paper tray up try putting less and then try

I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy
paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print
button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it
will feed through the printer. The reason for this is in some cases I
have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there
over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this
way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps.Bud

To print card stock you must us the manual slot in the front of the printer and feed one at a time. Also open the back flap door so the card stock can exit out the back instead of trying to bend around for the try. That will give you the staight paper path that your thick stock needs.
