OfficeJet 8710 No Cardstock option.

[Tweedy]

My printer will not print on cardstock paper, I only get a paper jam error.    I followed the steps to select cardstock,  but cardstock is not an available option, only thick plain paper?  

Follow the steps below:

1. Go to Control panel – Devices and printers.
2. Right-click on Envy and select “Printing preferences”.
3. Under the Paper/Quality tab, change your paper type to "Cardstock".
4. Make sure to select the correct paper size as well.
5. Now, come to the program that you are using to print the cardstock (MS Word, Wordpad e.tc.), and change the paper type to “Cardstock”.

Hi,

What cardstock media do you use?

Your printer supports 163 to 200 gsm card media, compatible with Inkjet printers.

Selecting Think Paper (Plain Paper, Thick) from both the driver and the printer screen should allow the printer to use supported cards.

Sorry, but I've tried this solution many, many times.  All it does, partically the page.  Thanks anyways.

[Tweedy]

No that doesn't work.  Constant paper jams.

What exact Cards media do you use?

What is its weight (gsm)?

Is it an Inkjet compatible media?

I'm having the same problem as Tweedy.

I'm using card stock that's 199 gsm and compatible with inkjet printers. Even when I change the paper type to "plain paper, thick" in both the driver and the printer screen, I get constant false paper jam errors.

I'll try to print something double-sided and the front will print fine, but when it goes to print the back, I always get a "paper jam" message even when it's not jammed anywhere.

Any suggestions?
