I am having issues printing onto 5x7 paper. I am printing on cardstock and the image prints off center every time. Sometimes it is printing too far left, then it corrects, and goes left again. I can't print more than 1 at a time because it is too unpredictable to know where it is going to print at. Am I doing something wrong?

I have done all of these and tried printing with different programs. It seems like the printer is having issues feeding the paper in correctly. As you can see in this picture, the bottom of the picture is cut off, and on the back on the invite you can see ink streaks. IMG_4092.jpegIMG_4091.jpg
