I have a M281 Laserjet and it works well - I would like to print on laser vinyl sticker materials and can't find out if it can or if it specifically can't?

Anyone had any luck with this particular printer?

 

Here is a link to the materials https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171864532519

 

Thanks Dave

The Specifications include a list of supported Media:

Media types
Paper (bond, brochure, colored, glossy, heavy, letterhead, light, photo, plain, preprinted, prepunched, recycled, rough), transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock
Media weight supported (metric)
60 to 163 g/m² (Uncoated/Matte, recommended), however up to 175 g/m² Postcards and 200 g/m² HP Matte is allowed in the driver; 60 to 163 g/m² (Coated/Glossy, recommended), however up to 175 g/m² Postcards and 220 g/m² HP Glossy is allowed in the driver.

 

Personally, I would not put anything in a printer that is not on the list of supported Media (kind of paper). 

 

I do not have this printer and I do not have any personal testimony to offer that indicates whether the vinyl paper type would work.
