Welcome to the HP Community --

That's a term I've not heard in a while.

If you mean "3-hole-punch" or similar,

then

The printer is not meant to print paper with holes, scalloped edges, pre-lined, odd colors, or pretty much anything that is not normal, standard weight office paper and a few additional types and sizes as specified.

What to do?

Check the specifications as best you can - decide whether to use the paper.

Sample Specifications document for a printer in this series:

Reminder

At this writing, DeskJet printers (including this one) require a larger margin along the bottom edge --

12.7mm (1/2 inch)

Borderless Printing

No

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm

There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.

The solution is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch on the bottom edge.  This includes all page numbers, footer information, or other notations.
