HP OfficeJet 4650 All-in-One Printer

I can print on regular paper fine, but all of a sudden, my printer will not print on cardstock.  It jams every time, no matter what changes I make.

Assuming this "card" paper is a type you've used before, it is perhaps just time to clean the rollers in the printer.

This type of periodic maintenance is more important when you use different paper types.

 

Same paper - that is, the paper that sticks is from the same package (same paper size and same gsm)

Paper stored correctly - that is, the paper is stored to prevent curling, dampness, excessive drying, or other damage

What else?

Printer parts eventually wear out - it is possible the printer cannot any longer handle the heavier paper.

This is entirely speculation and is not a declaration stating "This is the Problem".
