pre punched paper type

[Rosie210]

I am printing pre punched telephone labels.  I have changed my paper type to pre punched, but the forms still tear while going thru my printer.  Any suggestions?

Welcome to the HP Community --

My Opinion

The first order of business is to confirm that the paper size, type, and weight are supported by the printer.

Next, check that the printer is aware of the paper size, type (Embedded Web Server - EWS).

Finally, if nothing you do works as you want and expected,

Consider printing the contents on labels that are the size of the pre-punched labels.

After printing, attach each printed label to the pre-punched labels.

Yeah, but...

You might hear back from another Expert who has actual experience with this model and knows how to frame a better answer to your question.
