I am trying to print on cardstock on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8210, but each time I try the alignment of the image is off. I checked the alignment of the printer and it was fine on regular paper, but I checked it again on cardstock and it was off. I realized I didn't have the paper setting set to the "cardstock" option, so I changed that but it didn't fix the problem. The paper I am using is 80 lb. cardstock. Can someone please tell me how I can print what I need on this cardstock paper?

The printer model doesn't support printing on cardstock, the maximum for plain paper is 105 gsm everything above that weight will be printer misaligned or jam.
