I am trying to print onto heavy cardstock and sticker sheets using my HP Photosmart 7520 and the thicker paper gets caught in the rollers.  Is there a way to manually feed the paper so that it doesn't get stuck/bent inside the printer?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi MDaukas,

 

Unfortunately the printer has a "U" shaped paper path, and there is no way I know of to bypass that.

I printed several color documents on card stock, and they printed perfectly.  Then I wanted to print 5 more and printer shows message "out of paper" and HP recommends using HP Colorlok paper.  I had printed perfectly 2 minutes earlier!
