I can't print on card stock

No, way to heavy for your printer model.

@LittleA27

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

@Valsimot may well be correct - the printer has the capacity to print on just some types and weights of Media as explained in the Specifications.  This may or may not include your "card" paper.

Reminder:

Not all Card Stock is equal. 

This printer supports printing on Media type Index card.  Index card is a particular type of Media that is produced according to ISO standards for paper manufacture.  "Card Stock", if made from a different kind of paper (bond, cover, etc), may - or may - not fall into the printer's weight restrictions.  That is, the paper you are using may indeed be "too heavy" for the printer.  (Big subject; forgive the simplistic explanation.)

Printing on card stock (in this case Media type Index) also requires that you tell the print driver that you are using that particular type of paper.  In addition, the Media selection (kind of paper) must be allowed in combination with your other selections.

For example:

Media = card, brochure, "some available" selection in your list of allowed Media (kinds of paper)

Source = Tray 1 (as oppsed leaving as "automatic")

Paper Size = a selection from the list of available paper sizes for this Media

The "Paper Size" selections for "cards" are lilsted in the Specifications > Paper Handling > Supported cards

If your Paper Size is not listed (in combination with the Media you select),

IF your printer supports the "Custom Paper Sizes" feature,

then

You can create a Custom Paper Size form using one of the "index" card templates in the supported paper size list.
