Welcome to the HP Community --
"Glossy sticker paper" is not a supported paper type.
From your description the paper is perhaps not feeding correctly --
For example, the paper might be slipping or sticking when it passes through the printer.
There is no solution for using unsupported paper.
Possible Workaround
Try a different paper type selection and make sure the printer is clean and (therefore) ready to do its best work.
Paper Selection
IF the sticker paper you are using is heavy enough -- but not too heavy -- you might try setting the paper size and then the paper type to "Brochure / Professional - Glossy".
After alerting the printer to the change in paper type, be sure you follow up with changing the paper type in your print dialog (application / program you are using to submit the job to the printer).
Will cleaning the printer and trying a different paper type work?
Maybe.
Open > Printer Product Home
Select printer model
Open Category Manuals > Find and open User Guide
Find and read the instructions for “Load Paper” or “Load Media” (wording varies)
Check / Reload paper
Open printer drawer > Lift paper from the tray > Replace paper
Wait a few seconds > Close Tray
Next,
Immediately check the printer control panel for a message to adjust / set the paper size / type
OR
HP Smart > Printer Settings > Advanced (opens EWS)
OR
Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to check / adjust the paper size / type - Tray and Paper
Selecting Paper Types in EWS
Paper type selections available in EWS -- and at the printer when that printer includes a text-input capable Printer Control Panel -- are different from the paper type selections found in the application / software used to configure the print job.
Select a paper type in Tray and Paper that -- as close as possible -- matches the paper type you are using and is selected in the printer software / application you are using to open, view, configure, and submit the job to the printer.
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
Tab Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper (Management)
Select / Adjust settings for Paper Size / Type
Model and EWS version Dependent: Advanced section

Notes – Paper Types
Photo Paper might be supported to 250 gsm, or, if specified, to 280 or 300 gsm.
Supported photo paper types vary – Photo paper types, sizes, and weights are printer model dependent.
For example, HP Advanced Photo paper is 250 gsm.
Do not select Photo paper if you are actually using a different paper type.
Do not attempt to use 300 gsm photo paper in a printer that does not support paper in that weight class.
Index card paper is an ISO paper type.
On a printer that supports “card paper”, HP Card paper -- unless otherwise specified -- is defined as Card / Index paper and is generally supported to 200 gsm.
If “card” paper is not listed in the Specifications, paper in this weight class might NOT be supported.
HP Brochure and HP Professional paper are typically the same weight. Brochure paper comes in two print surfaces: Matte and Glossy. HP Brochure / Professional papers are 180 gsm in weight.
HP Presentation Paper is a lighter weight “brochure” type paper at 120 gsm.
If the “heavy” paper type is generally supported but is not listed in the job configuration Properties, select the closer alternative: For example, in Properties > select “Brochure” / “Professional”.
Plain Paper is typically defined as standard office paper at 16-24 lb in weight.
