How Do I Print Cardstock? I want to print kind of small cards on thick paper. How do I set this up so the printer will do it? I am doing this from a samsung tablet if that helps.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

This printer does not support heavier "Card stock".

The printer does support "card paper" to 200 gsm / 110lb.

The printer supports "kind of small" paper sizes as shown in the specs.

You may need a custom size paper form for some sizes.  Reference:  HP Printers - Creating Custom Paper Sizes

The specifications here:

Assuming the paper size, type, and weight are supported,

Load the paper into the printer and immediately alert the printer to the paper - Tray and Paper Management.

Because this printer lacks a printer control panel, update / modify / enter the paper size information using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

Reminder:  HP Smart Mobile (or the HP plugin) require that the paper size / type be adjusted before the content is opened to be printed.
