I have just purchased the OfficJet Pro 6968.  I can't seem to find the paper type/weight settings.  I need to be able to print on cardstock and it will not do that now.  It looks like from what I see on the web that it is possible.  The manual does not address this.  Please advise.

Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are unable to select the cardstock option to print. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

Click here and refer the card types mentioned under paper handling specifications to check if it is supported.

 

 

If it is supported, create custom size to print on cardstock.

Click here and refer the document to print on custom size.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers.
