How can I print or copy on to 80# cardstock? Can I feed it through the back of the printer?

@reverendsax,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

Please follow the below steps to print cardstock.

1. Adjust the paper tray. Go to ‘Printer and Devices’ and select ‘Paper Handling’ on the menu. Scroll and select “Heavy” or “Card Stock” on the “Tray” menu.
2. Change printer settings. Click on the document to be printed. Click on the “Print” option to open the dialog box for settings. Click on “Properties” >> “Paper Quality >> “Card Stock”. Click “Ok”.
3. Feed the paper. Place card stocks on the paper tray. Do not exceed the recommended number of sheets. Make sure all papers are of the same width and height. Adjust paper feeder and align.
4. Run a test print.

When you print without adjusting your printer to the kind of media you will use, you end up getting output that is of different size, color, and quality than you expect. The amount of ink and the interior machine will have difficulty printing as it was not set properly.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
