When I print out half fold cards they don't print on paper

don' be afraid of making one by folding a printer paper page in half and composing your own. it is the intent / thought that counts. others have purchased a 'daughter' card and added
words ' in law ' . you might add a few words about a nice thing the girl has done for you or your buy.

Before printing you need to select the size and orientation and it's a good idea to look at the preview before printing. That saves a lot of paper.

Try to use M.Publisher or Adobe Pagemaker.Just customize the paper size to A4.

actually the gears in the printer are got worn out or some thing is blocking the gears so its not able to turn the paper internally to print on the right part of paper.and its printing upside down.remove the cartridge from the printer.and apply air blower in the inner area of printer.remove all the dust collected in the printer by blowing air everywhere in the printer.then check out if still the same problem the paper sliding gears needs to be replaced.you can get the gear assembly for local printer repair shop.they also help if replacing the gear assembly.

There is a workaround for this problem by tricking the printer.
The paper sensor, on my printer model hp4500 seems to only sense the paper at the beggining of the print job.
What I did to trick the printer to print on odd size paper is slide the paper adjuster to 8.5 and put a regular white sheet in. Then put your odd size paper under it. When you print your document set the number of copies to 2 and print. The printer is going to sense that the paper is correct, and start the job.
Here is the tricky part... once the first 8.5x11 sheet is almost all the way through quickly slide the paper adjuster over to match the size of your odd width paper. The printer should pick up the odd paper and print the second copy. Fool you printa! You should be able to do batches of odd paper size under the first 8.5X11. I hope this helps.

Were you able to remove all of the original jammed business cards? where the leading edge of the "Fanfold" prints occurs, you will probably find something blocking the paper path. HP printers usually have a limit on the paper weight that the printer can handle when doing duplex (2 sided) printing. Check this against the weight of the cards you are printing.

I also contacted HP and they directed me to a workaround which I have not implemented yet!

I'm printing wedding invitation envelopes (or A6) and had to set both my C4480 and psc1315 to a regular size 8.5x11 letter size but changed my margins to reflect the smaller size for my envelope with the left side of the screen being the more narrow margin. After adjusting the top margin accordingly, I fed the envelopes, flap side down and straight into the printer and voila...envelope addresses are printed. Good luck. Blu

Your card will fold to make an inside and outside once folded, but is seen in a page layout app differently.
Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half to represent the card you will be making.
Now open it up and lay it down on a table, with the inside of the card face down.
The outside back of the card should now be on your left, and the front of the card is on the right. Use a pencil or pen to mark it as such, if you need to.
Now when you do your card layout, the cover art and text should be on the right side of the page you create in the application.
If you flip the card over, so that the inside is now facing you, you are looking at the inside of the card.
Usually, the text and signature areas would be on the right side of this page, as well.
Now, use that same guidance when you work on 'page 2' of your document. Add the text to the right side of your page, so it will be on the right inside panel after you print and fold the card.
The final step is to print it out so that the inside and outside are in the correct orientation to each other.
Be sure to feed the paper such that the top of the card is facing the same side of the paper tray when you prnt both sides. (I sometimes make a light mark in pencil which can be erasd, to be sure it goes in the right direction, since this step is easily messed up.)
Good luck.

Make sure you check the settings in the print driver. Sounds like your paper size settings do not match the size of the paper that you are printing onto and you are actually getting a false jam because the machine is seeing a different size paper then you ahve in it.
