Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

Paper is likely too heavy for the printer.

 

If you paper exceeds the weight limitations,

The paper won't load,

Paper might load partly but not print,

Paper might try and jam,

Paper might just issue an error and refuse to continue.

 

 

No, there is not a method to feed paper from the back.
