The printer will no longer print on thicker stock (AVERY 8126 Shipping Labels), when I try to print it feeds the paper through the printer without jamming but does not print on it, instead it prints on the next regular weight paper in the paper drawer. This is a brand new issue  on a printer I have had for several years. I have no issues on regular stock paper.

I had a nice HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 that did an excellent job of printing on Avery labels and business cards.  Loved that printer.

 

That said, I only had the printer for a short time (one year - it was a loaner); the printer never had time to develop any problems.

 

Although it would be unfortunate were this the case; it is possible the printer hardware is wearing - that is, showing signs of age.

 

What else?

The rollers or other components in the printer might be in need of a good cleaning.

 

The following are similar - take a look and decide which document is most helpful:
